About Tracy

Tracy Sharman is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and depression. Her work also covers addictions, career concerns, bipolar disorder, coping with life changes and ADHD.

Tracy aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk through thoughts and feelings. She uses client-centred ways of working to listen and reflect what matters most to each person. This means sessions focus on the client’s experience rather than a fixed script.

She draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy and attachment-based ideas when emotions and relationship patterns feel hard to name. These approaches look at how feelings shape behaviour and how connection or disconnection with others affects wellbeing. Tracy also uses cognitive behavioural techniques and elements of dialectical behaviour therapy where practical skills are useful.

Sessions usually focus on what is happening now and what the client wants to change. Tracy helps people notice patterns, name feelings, and try small, manageable steps between sessions. She encourages clear goals and practical coping strategies alongside exploring deeper emotional issues.

Tracy works in English and practises in the UK. If someone is unsure whether her approach fits, she recommends starting with a short match process to talk about goals and how she works.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Tracy works with Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people name and work with powerful feelings and relationship patterns. EFT looks at how emotions drive reactions and helps people recognise and change repeat patterns that cause distress.

She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early and current relationships shape present responses. This can be useful for people who notice repeating patterns in close relationships or who struggle with trust and connection. Client-centred work means sessions prioritise the client’s experience and pace, offering space to reflect while the therapist follows the client’s lead.

Finding the right approach is a shared task. Tracy will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as therapy proceeds.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as they are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, travel or family life and may allow shorter check-ins when time is limited. They also remove the need to travel and can help people attend from different parts of the UK. Registered or accredited professionals can explain which format they offer when you begin the matching steps.
