About Tracy

Tracy Sharman is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with people who are coping with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and depression. Tracy aims to make the first step easier and acknowledges the courage it can take to seek support.

Her approach starts with creating an open, non-judgemental space where clients can talk about what is on their mind. She listens to how problems affect everyday life and helps people name patterns that keep them stuck. Conversations are practical and paced to suit each person.

Tracy draws on a range of therapeutic methods to match what clients need. She uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, and Client-Centred ways of working that prioritise each person’s perspective. She blends techniques so sessions stay relevant and focused on present concerns.

In work around life changes, addiction, ADHD and caregiver stress, she aims to support coping and clearer decision-making. Tracy also addresses issues such as abandonment, body image and communication difficulties in plain terms that people can act on.

Sessions are conversational and steady. Tracy helps people set achievable goals, practise new ways of coping, and notice small changes that add up over time.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based work looks at how early and current relationships shape feelings and reactions; online sessions can help people spot those patterns and try new ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviours, which often suits a structured online meeting with homework and short exercises. Client-Centred Therapy prioritises the person's own goals and pace, offering a respectful, listening-based approach that can be effective in a remote conversation.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and happens together. The therapist will discuss what feels most useful, try approaches in session, and adjust plans based on the client's needs, goals and preferences. This collaborative way helps people see what works for them.

Please confirm the available session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins from a quieter room at work or home. It can also make short, focussed sessions or regular weekly meetings easier to manage alongside everyday responsibilities.
