About Tracey

Tracey Simeonova is a BACP counsellor who focuses on relational and personal difficulties. She works with adults and teens and aims to help people break repetitive cycles that leave them overwhelmed, confused or discouraged. Tracey offers calm, empathic support and practical ways to make small changes that matter day to day.

She has 15 years of experience across charities, the NHS, international schools in Asia and the Middle East, and private practice. She has also taught trainee counsellors on an integrative counselling degree programme, bringing a teaching perspective to clinical work.

Tracey practises from a person-centred stance while drawing on a range of therapeutic approaches. In sessions she focuses on building trust and listening carefully so people can explore their feelings and make sense of difficult patterns. The tone is compassionate and non-judgemental, with an emphasis on honest reflection.

Common concerns she helps with include relationship difficulties, codependency, attachment struggles, low self-worth, grief and life transitions. She also supports people coping with anxiety, stress, addictions, eating and body image problems, and anger.

Practical work in therapy may include noticing thought patterns, experimenting with small behavioural changes, and using mindfulness and values-based strategies. Tracey encourages people to bring what matters most to them and to set goals that fit their life circumstances.

How Tracey’s approaches translate to online work

Tracey uses person-centred principles combined with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas to guide online work. Person-centred therapy focuses on listening with empathy and acceptance so people feel heard and can explore their experience at their own pace. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without being driven by them and to clarify what matters so they can act in line with their values. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to early relationship patterns and helps people understand how those patterns affect current bonds and emotional responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist works collaboratively to identify which methods fit best with a person's goals, needs and preferences, and may draw on different approaches as therapy progresses.

If you are considering online therapy, check the current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow more flexible scheduling. They can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or audio-only work when video is less convenient. Confirm the formats offered so you can choose the arrangement that works best for you.
