About Tracy
Counsellor Tracy Fiddler is a BACP member with six years' experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief, depression, LGBT issues, trauma and abuse, sleeping problems, parenting and self-esteem. She also lists ADHD among her main areas of work. Tracy practises in the United Kingdom and offers support in English.
Tracy trained in person-centred ways of working and uses that approach as a base. She also brings practical exercises into sessions, including mindfulness, Gestalt ideas and simple play-based activities for parents. This means conversations are supported by short tasks and experiential methods when these suit a client.
Before counselling, Tracy worked in education for over 20 years. That background informs her work with parenting, school attendance, autism and Asperger Syndrome in both children and adults. Her time in schools shaped how she talks about behaviour, routine and family-related stresses.
Sessions focus on what the client brings. Tracy aims to be non-judgemental and flexible about how people prefer to work. She uses person-centred listening alongside practical tools to help people notice small changes and try new ways of coping.
She offers a mix of talking and activity-based work. Parents may be shown play activities to use with children. Individuals may be guided through mindfulness exercises or simple Gestalt experiments to increase awareness and manage anxiety or sleep problems.
How Client-Centred practice transfers to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy puts the client's experience at the centre. In practice this means the counsellor listens without directing the session and follows what the client brings. This approach is often used for worries about relationships, low mood, anxiety and grief because it focuses on the person's own perspective and priorities.Tracy also uses practical exercises alongside person-centred work. Mindfulness is a simple attention practice that can help with sleep, anxiety and stress. Gestalt ideas involve brief experiments in awareness and expression and can be useful for noticing patterns in feeling and behaviour.
Finding the right way of working is part of the process. The counsellor will discuss options with the client and try different approaches based on needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative step so the client helps decide which exercises or tasks to try and how to fit them into sessions.
The original profile does not list specific online formats. Please confirm the available session formats before booking. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit around work, school and family life. Remote work can also allow shorter check-ins, sessions without video if needed, and continued contact when travel would be difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can explain practical arrangements when you arrange the first appointment.
