Tracy Sharman, BACP

Tracy Sharman is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression and addictions. Tracy aims to make the first step into therapy as straightforward as possible and recognises the courage it can take to begin.

Tracy builds an atmosphere in sessions where clients can speak openly without fear of judgement. She listens to what matters most to each person and helps them name difficult thoughts and feelings. The work is practical and down to earth, with attention to immediate coping needs as well as longer term patterns.

Her background includes supporting people with career concerns, bipolar difficulties and ADHD, and helping those coping with life changes. Additional focus areas include attachment issues, body image and caregiver stress among others. Tracy adapts conversations to the problem a person brings rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.

In sessions she draws on approaches that centre the person and their experiences. This helps people reflect on relationships, manage upsetting emotions and try new ways of handling daily challenges. The aim is clearer thinking and steadier routines that make life feel more manageable.

Tracy works in English and practises within the UK. If someone wants to begin, she asks them to complete a short questionnaire and then arrange sessions that fit their schedule.

How therapeutic approaches adapt to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past and present relationships influence feelings and behaviour. Online sessions using this approach often focus on noticing patterns in relationships and practising different ways of connecting and responding.

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person at the heart of the conversation. The counsellor listens closely and reflects what they hear, helping people find their own solutions and build self-understanding; this approach suits those wanting a supportive space to clarify goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and then suggest which approaches to try. That decision is collaborative and can change as the work progresses.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and saving travel time. Some people prefer calls for simpler check-ins or when bandwidth is limited, and others choose video to retain face-to-face contact. The biography does not specify which formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit around work, caregiving and daily routines.
