About Tracie
Tracie Richards is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 15 years of experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, career concerns and coaching needs. Her work also covers codependency and related difficulties such as attachment worries, abandonment and isolation.
Tracie keeps things clear and direct in sessions. She listens, asks straightforward questions and helps people notice what gets in the way of change. Sessions focus on practical steps as well as understanding patterns that repeat in relationships and at work.
Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centred practice to make sense of how early relationships shape later reactions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of responding. EMDR and motivational interviewing are also part of her toolbox when trauma or motivation are key concerns.
People contact her when they feel stuck in people-pleasing habits, when grief or separation have left them unsure, or when long-running anxiety is affecting work and home life. She aims to help clients set clearer boundaries, rebuild a sense of self, and make practical changes that fit their everyday life.
Tracie works in English and does not work with international clients. Before booking, clients are asked to confirm current session options and any practical arrangements they need.
How sessions work
How Tracie uses therapeutic approaches online
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships affect current thinking and feeling. It helps people who struggle with closeness, abandonment fears or repeating relationship patterns by mapping those behaviours and finding new ways to relate. Client-centred therapy centres the person’s perspective and experience, giving space to talk through feelings and priorities while the counsellor reflects and supports exploration. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to test different responses to anxiety and stress.Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss what feels most relevant and try methods that match a client’s goals and preferences. It is common to combine approaches so the work addresses both feelings shaped by attachment and the practical skills needed to change daily habits.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into a busy life - they can make it easier to schedule around work, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Discussing how sessions will work is part of the first meeting so arrangements can suit the client’s routine and needs.
