About Tracey

Tracey Bonelle is a BACP counsellor with six years' experience based in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and depression, and with those coping with life changes, relationship and family issues. Tracey also supports people dealing with trauma, addiction, eating and sleeping problems, bipolar and ADHD related concerns, and matters around intimacy and identity.

She uses a relational, client-centred style that prioritises listening and understanding. Sessions focus on noticing patterns, making sense of difficult feelings, and developing practical coping tools. Tracey aims to work at a pace that feels right for the individual and to adjust the work according to what helps most.

Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas and psychodynamic thinking alongside client-centred and mindfulness practices. This combination is used to look at how past relationships affect current behaviour, and to build skills for managing intense emotions and daily stresses.

Tracey has experience across NHS settings, education, private practice and a community interest charity. That background has involved supporting people with a wide range of needs, from emerging difficulties to more complex presentations. She is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - MBACP.

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Tracey draws on attachment-based therapy and dialectical behaviour therapy alongside client-centred and mindfulness approaches. Attachment-based work looks at how early and important relationships shape current feelings and patterns, which can help when people struggle with trust, intimacy or repeated relationship problems. Dialectical behaviour therapy focuses on skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance and strengthening communication.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. She will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and the plan can change as new priorities emerge.

The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into study or work days and reducing travel time. Specific session formats are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or sessions without video when bandwidth or energy is limited. Registered or accredited professionals can help match the session style to what fits a young adult's everyday life.
