About Tracey

Tracey Bonelle is a BACP registered therapist based in the United Kingdom with six years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression and major life changes. Tracey also supports people facing relationship and family concerns, blended family issues, and challenges linked to trauma, addiction and neurodivergence.

She uses a relational, client-centred way of working. Sessions focus on listening, noticing patterns and making sense of what keeps causing distress. Practical tools are offered when useful, alongside time to process emotions and reflect on personal history.

Tracey draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early connections shape current relationships. She also uses elements of dialectical behaviour therapy and mindfulness to teach skills for managing strong feelings. Psychodynamic thinking helps uncover repeated patterns that cause pain in day-to-day life.

People often come to her with parenting strain, separation issues, loyalty conflicts in stephouseholds, or questions about intimacy and sexual identity. She aims to support clearer communication and steadier coping in these situations. Work is collaborative and paced to what the client can manage.

Sessions are conducted in English and Tracey accepts clients from outside the UK. The practical side of therapy - routines, skills and small changes - is emphasised alongside talking about feelings and past experiences.

How Tracey uses therapy approaches online

Tracey commonly draws on attachment-based work and dialectical behaviour therapy when meeting people online. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current feelings and interactions, helping with trust, boundaries and repeated patterns. DBT focuses on concrete skills for managing intense emotions, distress tolerance and improving communication.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Tracey discusses goals and preferences with each person and adjusts the mix of talking, skills practice and reflection to suit those priorities. The client and therapist decide collaboratively what feels most helpful as therapy progresses.

The practical benefits of remote sessions are about fitting therapy into everyday life. Online meetings can make it easier to schedule appointments around work, caring responsibilities or travel. If you plan to work with Tracey, confirm which session formats she currently offers before booking so you know how appointments will be run.
