About Tracy

Tracy Sharman is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and depression. Tracy encourages straightforward conversation about thoughts and feelings so people can speak honestly in sessions.

She uses approaches such as attachment-based work and cognitive behavioural techniques to help people make sense of patterns that cause distress. Sessions focus on practical steps alongside reflection, so people can try small changes between meetings and see what helps.

Tracy also draws on client-centred ideas to keep sessions focused on each person’s priorities. This means the pace and content are guided by what feels important to the person in front of her. Dialectical behaviour therapy skills are used when someone needs tools for managing strong emotions or improving coping skills.

People in early adult life often bring questions about work, study, relationships and identity. Tracy supports those navigating first jobs, career moves, returning to study, or the strain of big life changes. She also works with concerns linked to ADHD, addictions, bipolar and attachment difficulties.

Sessions are conversational and practical. Tracy aims to help people notice patterns, try different responses, and build clearer routines. If you are thinking about starting, she asks that you complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to begin the process.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It looks at how people connect, withdraw or respond under stress, and can help when relationship habits affect mood and decisions.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) breaks worries and patterns into manageable parts. It helps identify unhelpful thoughts and tests small changes in behaviour to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms.

Dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) contributes practical skills for handling strong emotions and improving distress tolerance. These techniques are useful when someone needs clearer ways to cope in high-stress moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tracy will discuss options and help decide which methods suit the person’s goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process that can change as needs evolve.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around study or work, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Registered or accredited professionals often use this flexibility to help people keep therapy consistent with everyday life.
