About Tracey

Tracey Simeonova is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with 15 years' experience. She works with adults and teens on relationship and personal difficulties. Her practice focuses on problems that interfere with daily life, such as anxiety, depression, stress and addiction-related concerns.

Tracey uses a person-centred approach and draws on several therapeutic methods. She often combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy ideas with attachment-informed thinking. Sessions aim to help people notice patterns, name difficult feelings and try different ways of responding.

Her background includes work for charities, the NHS, international schools in Asia and the Middle East, and private practice. She has also taught trainee counsellors on an integrative counselling degree programme. That range of settings informs a practical style and experience with varied life situations.

Common themes Tracey helps people with are relationship struggles, problems with self-worth, shame, identity and body image. She also works with grief and the fallout from endings or life transitions. Codependency and difficulties around boundaries and control are within her listed focus areas.

In sessions she supports people to make clearer choices and to practise new responses to recurring problems. Work may include talking through painful memories, looking at how attachment affects current relationships, and using simple ACT and CBT techniques to test out small changes.

How sessions work

How her therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Tracey draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside person-centred practice. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings and choosing actions that matter to you, which can help with anxiety, avoidance and stuck patterns. Attachment-based ideas look at early relationship patterns and how they influence current connections and trust, useful for intimacy and communication issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. That collaborative process helps match the way of working to the presenting problem and to what the person feels able to try.

The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy life and keeping appointments when travel is difficult. Please confirm the exact session formats offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to maintain continuity while testing new ways of communicating and responding in day-to-day situations.
