    About Tracey

    Tracey Simeonova is a counsellor who uses a person-centred way of working alongside Motivational Interviewing and other practical methods. She aims to build a warm, accepting space where people can talk about what matters most to them and begin to change difficult patterns.

    Tracey has 15 years of experience working in a variety of settings. These include charities, the NHS, international schools in Asia and the Middle East, and private practice. She has also taught trainee counsellors on an Integrative Counselling degree programme.

    In sessions she listens for the things that keep people stuck and helps them find their own reasons and motivation to change. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and attachment-informed ideas to offer different ways of understanding problems. Work can include looking at relationships with others and with the self, and practical steps to manage thoughts, feelings and behaviours.

    Tracey supports people coping with relationship difficulties, self-esteem struggles, grief, stress, anxiety, addictions and eating concerns. Additional areas of focus include abandonment, attachment issues, body image, codependency, communication problems and blended family concerns among others.

    She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, works in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. The initial steps are simple: use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that suits you.

  2. How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

    Tracey uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change and build commitment in manageable steps. This approach is often useful for substance use, habits and when someone feels stuck and unsure where to begin.

    She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions that matter, and Attachment-Based ideas that look at how early relationship patterns shape current difficulties. ACT can help with anxiety, low mood and life transitions, while attachment work helps when relational patterns feel painful or repeating.

    Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Tracey collaborates with each person to decide what to focus on, and adapts tools and pacing to fit their goals and preferences. This means therapy can be tailored as needs shift over time.

    Her biography highlights online practice; please confirm the exact session formats available before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around work, travel or family commitments, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also allow therapeutic work to continue for people who are living abroad or relocating while keeping a consistent counsellor.
