About Tracie
Tracie Richards is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and career concerns. She uses a straightforward, warm style to help clients talk through difficult emotions and find practical ways forward. Tracie works in English and practises from the United Kingdom using approaches suited to each person’s needs.
With 15 years of experience she draws on several therapeutic approaches to shape sessions around the issue at hand.
Background and approach
Tracie listens first to understand how a problem affects daily life, then helps people set clear, realistic goals. Conversations are direct but compassionate, aimed at making change feel possible instead of overwhelming. Her work often addresses attachment patterns, abandonment issues and feelings of guilt or shame.
She also helps people facing loneliness, life transitions, divorce or the impact of illness. Practical tools from cognitive behavioural techniques are blended with a person-centred stance to keep therapy grounded and useful. Tracie offers EMDR as one of the methods she may use when trauma or distress from past events is central.
She pairs that with motivational interviewing when people need help finding the energy to change. The emphasis is on moving at the client’s pace and choosing methods that fit their goals. People looking to start therapy are guided through a clear intake and matching process.
Sessions can be arranged to suit work, family and other commitments, so therapy can fit into a busy life.

Online support
How approaches like EMDR and CBT work online
Attachment-Based Therapy supports understanding how past relationships shape present reactions. It helps people notice patterns in close connections and try new ways of being that feel safer and more satisfying.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It gives clear exercises and small experiments to change unhelpful thinking and reduce anxiety or stress in daily life.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is used when distressing memories affect today’s mood and behaviour. In sessions the therapist helps the person process those memories in manageable steps so the memory has less hold over current functioning.
Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work. The therapist discusses goals, preferences and past experiences and together they choose methods that fit. That collaborative process makes it easier to try different techniques and adjust them as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging can be used for brief reflections, homework prompts or when typing feels easier than talking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work and daily life while keeping the focus on useful change.
