About Traci

Traci Lawler is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, low self-esteem, trauma and abuse, and related concerns such as codependency and ADHD. Sessions focus on helping people understand current problems and find more effective coping strategies.

Traci encourages clients to look at how past events affect life now. She helps people identify patterns that keep them stuck, then practises new ways of responding. Conversations may include reflection on earlier experiences and practical steps for day-to-day change.

The approach is collaborative. Traci listens and follows what the person brings, then draws on techniques from attachment work, cognitive behavioural ideas, dialectical behavioural skills and mindfulness. She aims to help people find clearer boundaries, a stronger sense of self, and kinder ways of relating to themselves.

Work often begins with weekly sessions so progress can build steadily. Traci supports people through common life stresses such as career pressures, parenting strain, grief, or burnout. She also addresses concerns around eating, anger, chronic illness and caregiver stress.

People who struggle with people-pleasing, trouble saying no, or losing their own needs in relationships will find practical options explored in sessions. Traci uses talking, reflective questions and skill-building exercises to help people practise change between meetings.

How sessions work

How Traci uses therapeutic approaches in remote sessions

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns that started in early relationships and how they affect current connections. It helps people notice triggers and work on steadier ways of relating to others. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical steps. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and habit change. Mindfulness Therapy brings short attention and breathing exercises into sessions and daily life to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment awareness.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Traci collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice can change as therapy progresses, and she combines techniques as needed to address patterns such as people-pleasing, boundary problems or addictive behaviours.

The original profile does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm the current options before booking. In general, remote work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and let clients use audio-only contact when they prefer not to be on camera. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and homework for online sessions so the work continues between meetings.
