Tracy Sharman
Supportive counsellor helping people with stress and trauma
About Tracy
Tracy Sharman is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience and a BACP credential. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression and addiction. Tracy aims to make the first step into therapy feel less daunting for anyone who is nervous about starting.
Tracy creates a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through difficult thoughts and emotions. She listens closely and helps clients name what is happening for them.
Background and approach
Sessions are practical and grounded, with an emphasis on small steps that people can use between meetings. Her work draws on attachment-based ideas that look at how relationships affect feelings and behaviour. Tracy also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and build more helpful habits.
She blends these with client-centred ways of working to keep the client's perspective central. Tracy has supported people coping with life changes, career stress, bipolar symptoms, ADHD and a wide range of related issues such as body image, communication problems and caregiver stress. She also works with concerns linked to abandonment, attachment difficulties and dissociation.
Sessions are offered in English and delivered online through video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging. Tracy uses an approach that aims to match the therapy to each person's needs and pace.

Sessions & fees
Online approaches that focus on relationships and thinking
Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationships shape feelings and behaviour, helping people understand patterns that affect trust and closeness. It can be useful for issues such as attachment difficulties, abandonment concerns and relationship-related anxiety.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, helps people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It is commonly used for anxiety, low mood and stress and gives practical skills to test new ways of responding.
Client-centred therapy keeps the person's experience at the heart of sessions, prioritising listening and empathy so people feel heard while they make their own changes.
Finding the right approach is usually a shared process. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and suggest which methods to focus on. That plan can change over time as goals shift and progress is made.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let you see and hear the counsellor and work much like a face-to-face meeting. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a good option when talking without video is preferable. Live chat and text messaging provide quick check-ins and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options offer flexibility and make it simpler to maintain continuity of care.
