About Tracey
Tracey Gardener is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 12 years of clinical experience. She works with people who are managing stress, anxiety, relationship patterns, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, parenting pressures, and anger. Tracey uses an integrative approach that draws on attachment ideas and trauma-informed thinking.
Tracey helps clients untangle repeating relationship patterns and the effects of early life experiences. She uses everyday language and practical reflection to help people understand why they react as they do. Sessions aim to notice patterns, name painful memories, and try new ways of relating to others.
Her work often blends attachment-based ideas with mindfulness practices and cognitive techniques. That mix can help someone calm intense feelings, challenge unhelpful thoughts, and practise different responses in relationships. She also uses psychodynamic thinking to look at longer-standing emotional themes.
Tracey trained with a BA (Hons) in Integrative Counselling, an FdA in Counselling, and a Diploma in Mindful Mental Health. She has completed continuing professional development workshops on eating disorders, sex addiction, attachment theory and couples relationships, sandtray and creative therapy, plus an 8-week mindfulness training course.
Her manner is steady and down-to-earth. People meet a counsellor who encourages talking things through at a pace that feels manageable. To begin, the site asks clients to complete a short questionnaire and then arrange a first session.
How sessions work
How Tracey’s approaches translate to remote sessions
Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships. It helps people see how early bonds shape current trust, closeness and reactions such as anger or withdrawal. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers straightforward tools to test unhelpful thinking and try out calmer responses in daily life. Mindfulness therapy brings simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and anchor a person in the present moment.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Tracey will work collaboratively to agree which ideas suit a person's goals and preferences. That means checking in about what helps, adjusting methods, and pacing sessions so they feel manageable.
The practical details of online work should be confirmed before booking. Please check which session formats are offered and how they fit your routine. Online appointments can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists and registered or accredited professionals often use remote sessions to keep continuity of care while adapting exercises and reflection to an online setting.
