About Traci

Traci Lawler is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She presents herself as an integrative practitioner who aims to help people notice what they want to change and take steps toward it. Traci invites clients to reflect on their history and how it links to current difficulties, while also focusing on practical steps forward.

She works in a way that balances listening and reflection with skills-building. Early sessions often look at patterns from the past that still show up now. Later work tends to focus on healthier coping strategies and clearer boundaries for day-to-day life.

Traci describes helping people who feel stuck at work, in relationships, or after loss. She supports those wanting to find their voice and build self-worth. This includes attention to issues such as stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, and codependency.

Her approach draws on several recognised methods including attachment-based ideas, client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural techniques, dialectical behaviour strategies, and mindfulness practices. These are mixed to suit each person rather than applied in a fixed way.

Traci asks that sessions are usually weekly while therapeutic change is taking place. She also notes that repeated late cancellations may lead to reassigning a session slot. To begin, a client would follow the site process to match with her and then arrange a schedule that suits both parties.

How therapy approaches guide online work

Attachment-based work looks at early relationship patterns and how they affect current connections; online sessions can help people recognise these patterns and practise different responses. Client-centred therapy focuses on being heard and understood, with the counsellor following the person's lead to build self-awareness and confidence. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and tests new behaviours, and it often includes practical exercises that can be set between sessions.

Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The counsellor will talk with the client about aims, try methods that fit the person's needs, and adjust the approach as progress is reviewed. Finding the right mix is part of the work together rather than a fixed promise at the start.

If you are considering online therapy, check the available session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when that suits a person better. They also support continuity of care if life makes in-person meetings difficult. Confirm the session arrangements when you make contact so you can plan what will work best for your routine.
