About Tracie
Tracie Richards is a counsellor who aims to help people who feel overwhelmed by stress and anxiety. She welcomes straightforward conversations about relationship strain, past trauma or difficulties at work. People often come to her when panic, worry or relationship conflict make everyday life harder.
Tracie uses a gentle, practical style in sessions. She listens first to understand each person's history and goals. Together the client and Tracie map small steps that feel achievable, whether that means managing panic, reducing anxious thinking, or improving communication.
Her background includes 15 years working in therapeutic roles and she holds BACP accreditation, which is shown here as BACP. This experience shapes a calm, steady approach to difficult feelings and sudden panic attacks.
Tracie draws on a few established methods to make therapy feel understandable. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships affect current fears, client-centred ways to keep the pace set by the person in the room, and cognitive behavioural tools to notice and change unhelpful thoughts.
Starting therapy with her means setting clear, practical goals and checking progress along the way. Sessions focus on what works day to day and on building tools that reduce panic and anxiety over time. Tracie aims to make each session useful and easy to follow.
How her approaches can work online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how earlier relationships shape current patterns. In simple terms, it helps people see why they react strongly in close relationships and find new ways to feel steadier. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person and their pace; the counsellor reflects back what is said and lets the client lead conversations about painful memories or panic. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, identifies unhelpful thoughts and builds practical strategies to change them, which many people find useful for panic and anxiety.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tracie treats this as a collaborative process and will help clients decide which methods match their goals, needs and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is made.
The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy day and keeping continuity when life is hectic. If you prefer shorter check-ins or less time travelling, online work can make that easier. The biography does not specify session formats, so please confirm the current options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals often adapt exercises, breathing techniques and thought-records for remote sessions so they remain useful in everyday life.
