About Tracey

Tracey Simeonova helps people who feel stuck by talking through thoughts, feelings and behaviours that cause repeated distress. She works online and draws on person-centred practice while using practical methods from several approaches. Tracey is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 15 years of experience.

She has worked in charities, the NHS, international schools in Asia and the Middle East, and in private practice. She has also taught trainee counsellors on an Integrative Counselling degree programme. That varied background informs a flexible way of working that uses different tools as needed.

Tracey focuses on relationship issues, whether that is the relationship someone has with themselves or with other people. She helps with self-worth, shame, identity and body image concerns, and with patterns that repeat in relationships. She also works on grief and the losses that come from endings and life transitions.

Other areas she addresses include stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, eating and food-related issues, anger, compassion fatigue and parenting concerns. Additional focal points are attachment issues, abandonment, codependency, communication and blended family matters.

Her practice combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based work, Client-Centred listening, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and elements of Existential therapy. Sessions aim to be practical and conversational, focusing on what people want to change and how to make small steps that fit everyday life.

How her approaches work in online sessions

Tracey draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based work alongside client-centred practice. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and values, and taking small actions that matter to the person; it can help with anxiety, avoidance and life changes. Attachment-Based work looks at how early relationship patterns show up now and helps people understand and change how they relate to others.

Client-centred practice means the counsellor listens without directing the conversation and follows what matters to the person in front of her. Together they will decide which approach feels most useful, and that decision is reviewed as work progresses so the method matches current needs and goals.

If you are considering online sessions, check the current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around work, family and travel, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove the need to travel to appointments. The counsellor will discuss practical arrangements and agree what suits each person’s day-to-day life.
