About Traci

Traci Lawler works with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and self-esteem concerns using a blend of counselling approaches. She is BACP registered and has four years' experience in therapeutic work in the United Kingdom. Traci offers a calm, reflective style that looks at present difficulties and the events that may have shaped them.

She draws on attachment-based and client-centred methods to help clients understand patterns in relationships and emotional responses. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try out new ways of thinking and acting. Dialectical behaviour therapy skills and mindfulness practices are included when helpful for emotion regulation and coping.

Traci takes a practical approach to sessions. Conversations may cover past experiences, current stressors, boundaries and everyday coping strategies. She supports people to notice repeated patterns, try small changes and build new habits that fit their daily life.

She has worked with a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, eating and body image, parenting stress, addiction, anger and career difficulties. Additional focuses listed include attachment issues, autism and Asperger Syndrome, chronic illness and caregiver stress, and codependency.

Sessions are typically weekly to support steady progress and to build on learning from one week to the next. Traci uses a combination of techniques and will adapt methods to the client's needs and preferences as therapy develops.

Therapeutic approaches used in online counselling

Traci uses attachment-based work to look at how early relationships affect current connections and trust. This approach can help with relationship difficulties, intimacy problems and patterns of relating to others.

She also uses client-centred counselling which focuses on listening, reflecting and helping the client clarify their own goals. This is useful when someone wants to explore difficult feelings and decide what matters to them.

CBT is part of her practice and involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving. It is often used for anxiety, mood and stress-related concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor will work with the client to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. That choice may change as therapy continues and new priorities emerge.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact session formats available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Talk through practicalities with the counsellor when arranging your first session so sessions fit your routine.
