Tracey Bonelle

Tracey Bonelle is a BACP counsellor who aims to make starting therapy feel manageable. She offers a warm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, or the strain of life changes. Sessions focus on listening, understanding patterns, and helping people find practical ways to cope.

Tracey works collaboratively and moves at a pace that suits each person. She draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centred ways of working to help people feel heard and understood. She also uses elements of dialectical behaviour therapy and mindfulness to offer tools for handling strong emotions and reducing overwhelm.

Her background includes six years of direct therapeutic practice and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, MBACP. She has experience supporting people facing trauma and abuse, addictions, bipolar conditions, and the impacts of chronic illness and caregiving. Tracey also addresses concerns such as parenting stress, relationship difficulties, body image, and neurodiversity-related questions like autism and ADHD.

Sessions aim to combine clear listening with simple, useful strategies. Some people come wanting to make sense of recurring patterns. Others seek short-term support for a crisis or longer work to change how they cope. Tracey helps people identify small, realistic steps they can try between sessions.

If someone prefers an approach that adapts to their needs, Tracey offers a relational, person-focused way of working. She supports international clients and runs sessions from the United Kingdom in English.

How Tracey’s approaches can work online

Tracey uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns and feelings. This approach helps when someone wants to understand why they repeat certain responses or struggle with closeness and trust.

She also works in a client-centred way, putting the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. That means listening without judgement and letting the conversation guide what’s most helpful. Dialectical behaviour therapy elements provide practical skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance and clearer communication when emotions run high.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together decide what mix of listening, reflection and skills training fits best. That collaborative decision can change as therapy progresses.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm current session formats before booking because the profile does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Some people find it simpler to use mindfulness or DBT exercises between meetings when they are working remotely. Registered and accredited professionals can help tailor session length and frequency to your schedule.
