Background and approach
Her practice also covers more specific areas like chronic illness, body image, commitment worries and separation. Her way of working is person-centred. That means the conversation starts with the person's experience and goals.
Sessions are tailored to what the individual needs, whether that means practical coping strategies or space to talk about painful memories. Tracey also uses trauma-focused methods when past events are affecting day-to-day life. This helps people process traumatic experiences and reduce their ongoing impact.
She combines this with a gentle, collaborative style so people feel heard while making concrete changes. Sessions can be delivered in formats that suit different routines and abilities. Tracey focuses on clear communication, steady support and realistic steps forward.
People who choose her work with someone who prioritises empathy, respect and practical progress.

Sessions & fees
Approaches for trauma and person-centred care online
Tracey uses client-centred therapy which focuses on listening without judgement and helping the person lead the pace and direction of sessions. This approach is helpful for people who want time to make sense of feelings and to set personal goals for change.She also uses trauma-focused therapy to work through distressing memories and the ways they affect daily life. This method aims to reduce the power of painful events so people can cope better day to day and regain more control over reactions and routines.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Tracey will talk through your needs, goals and preferences and together you will decide whether a person-centred route, trauma-focused work or a mix of both makes most sense. The plan can be adjusted as therapy progresses to stay aligned with what is helping.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls recreate a face-to-face conversation and are useful for fuller sessions. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick updates, brief reflections between appointments or people who prefer not to use audio or video. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and health demands while keeping care consistent and accessible.
