About Tracey

Tracey Simeonova is a BACP counsellor with 15 years' experience working in charities, the NHS, international schools and private practice. She offers online person-centred work and supports adults facing relationship, self-worth and life-change struggles. Her approach draws on several established therapies to help people make sense of recurring patterns.

Tracey focuses on relational difficulties - both how people relate to themselves and to others. She helps with low self-esteem, body image concerns, commitment and attachment issues, and replaying old patterns in new relationships. She also works with grief, loss and the strain that comes with major life transitions.

Her clinical toolkit includes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Attachment-Based and Client-Centred approaches, plus existential perspectives. That means sessions can include values work, noticing unhelpful thoughts, exploring early relationship patterns, and open conversational listening.

People often come with anxiety, stress, depression, addictive behaviours, or feelings of emptiness and dissociation. Tracey also supports those dealing with parenting strains, blended family problems, codependency, anger, and eating or substance-related issues. She uses straightforward language and practical ideas alongside reflective listening.

Having taught trainee counsellors on an integrative degree, Tracey is used to working with varied presentations and cultural backgrounds. She accepts international clients and runs sessions in English. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session through the service.

How Tracey uses therapy approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that reflect personal values. It can help when someone feels stuck in unhelpful thinking or avoids things that matter to them. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they affect current connections. It is useful for people who repeat closeness or distance cycles in relationships. Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work. Tracey treats this as a collaborative process and will help identify which methods fit a person’s goals and style. Sessions can mix conversational listening, practical exercises and reflection so the approach evolves with the client’s needs. The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm the available session types before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into study, work or travel. It can also reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when days are busy, and let conversations continue across locations for international clients. Registered or accredited professionals can use different formats to help make therapy more manageable alongside everyday life.
