About Tracey

Tracey Simeonova is a counsellor who uses a person-centred approach to help people untangle painful thoughts and emotions. She has 15 years of experience working with adults and teenagers in charities, the NHS, international schools and independent practice. Tracey aims to offer a warm, non-judgemental space where people can speak openly about what they are facing.

She works with people struggling in relationships and with themselves. Common concerns she helps with include low self-worth, shame, body image, codependency, communication problems and patterns that keep repeating. Tracey also supports people coping with loss, life transitions and the confusion that follows big changes.

Her practice draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Existential Therapy. In sessions she uses practical tools, reflective listening and gentle challenge to help people notice unhelpful habits and try new ways of responding. The pace and focus are set together with each person.

Tracey has taught trainee counsellors on an Integrative Counselling degree programme and has worked across different countries, including parts of Asia and the Middle East. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling details through the site process.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Tracey commonly combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy to help people make sense of painful feelings and improve close connections. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and values-based action, which can help with anxiety, low mood and patterns that hold people back. Attachment work looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and helps people try new ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Tracey will work with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences and day-to-day life, adjusting pace and tools as needed so therapy feels useful and practical.

Session formats are not listed here, so readers should confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time and allow short check-ins when life gets hectic. It also lets people work with a therapist who has relevant experience, even if they live in a different country.
