Tracy Kent
Trauma-aware counsellor focused on practical recovery
About Tracy
Tracy Kent is a counsellor who practises in the United Kingdom and holds membership of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP). She has four years of post-qualifying experience supporting people with a mix of common mental health concerns and the effects of complex trauma. Tracy works with individuals who are trying to manage stress, anxiety and depression.
She also supports people recovering from abuse and those coping with major life changes.
Background and approach
Her approach is straightforward and collaborative. Tracy treats people as the experts of their own stories and helps them build on existing strengths. Sessions focus on practical steps and honest conversation rather than jargon.
She aims to make the first step into therapy less daunting. Tracy has particular experience with survivors of domestic violence and people affected by sexual assault and abuse. She also supports those dealing with panic attacks, social anxiety, attachment difficulties and dissociation.
Mood disorders, seasonal affective disorder and issues linked to guilt, shame or narcissistic dynamics are other areas she addresses. Sessions may include problem-focused work to reduce symptoms and paced exploration of past experience when helpful. Tracy adapts the pace to each person, combining shorter practical tasks with deeper emotional processing.
Her style is calm, direct and empathic. She offers online sessions by video, phone, live chat or text messaging to fit different needs and schedules. English-language sessions are provided and international clients are not currently accepted.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Tracy uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that combine practical coping skills with careful attention to past harm. One approach emphasises skills for managing overwhelming emotions and anxiety through step-by-step strategies that can reduce panic and improve day-to-day functioning. Another approach focuses on processing traumatic experiences in a paced way so memories and triggers can be worked through without becoming overwhelming; this helps with PTSD, dissociation and the effects of abuse.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals, current problems and preferences and then suggest a path forward. That plan can change as work progresses and the therapist will check in regularly to make sure the methods remain helpful.
Online work is offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video is useful for fuller conversation and non-verbal cues, phone can suit shorter check-ins or lower bandwidth, and text or chat lets people send updates between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, studies or family routines while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
