Counselling in Catterick Garrison, Darlington, Richmond & Online
Hi, I’m Tracie — a BACP-accredited counsellor, veteran, and neurodivergent therapist offering counselling in Catterick Garrison, Darlington, Richmond, and online across the UK.
I specialise in supporting women navigating ADHD, anxiety, trauma, attachment difficulties, burnout, and relationship challenges. Many of my clients come to me feeling emotionally exhausted, overwhelmed, and stuck in patterns they understand logically but struggle to change in real life.
Training, qualifications & experience
I work with individuals and couples navigating ADHD, attachment difficulties, relationship struggles, break-ups, anxiety, overwhelm, trauma, and those big life shifts that can leave you feeling disconnected from yourself. A lot of the people I work with are exhausted from trying to hold everything together while quietly battling overthinking, emotional burnout, people-pleasing, rejection sensitivity, or the constant feeling that everyone else got given a handbook for life that they somehow missed.
Many clients come to me after years of listening to podcasts, saving self-help posts, and knowing all the “right” tools, but still feeling stuck when it comes to actually using them in real life. Whether you’re newly diagnosed, questioning how your brain works, trying to untangle unhealthy relationship patterns, or attempting to keep a relationship afloat while carrying the weight of everything else, I offer a down-to-earth and honest approach that meets you where you are.
Therapy with me is human. There’s room for swearing, awkward pauses, dark humour, tears, and laughter, because healing isn’t always heavy, and sometimes the most powerful moments happen when you finally feel safe enough to just be yourself. I bring my own lived experience into the work too. I’m a veteran, neurodivergent, and someone who understands first-hand how messy, frustrating, and confusing the journey back to yourself can feel when nobody ever really explains how to do it.
If you’re looking for a therapist who feels real, gets the chaos of an overactive mind, and offers support without judgement or clinical jargon, please get in touch for a free initial chat.
Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
Areas of counselling I deal with
Other areas of counselling I deal with
I also offer Single Session Therapy for people who feel overwhelmed by the idea of long-term counselling or simply want focused support around one specific issue. Sometimes you don’t need months of therapy, you just need space to untangle what’s going on, gain clarity, and leave with something practical you can actually use. These sessions are solution-focused, supportive, and designed to help when life feels stuck, heavy, or too loud.
Alongside this, I offer Rewind Trauma Therapy, a gentle, non-invasive approach designed to help reduce the emotional impact of trauma, flashbacks, nightmares, and anxiety linked to distressing experiences. As a veteran myself, I know how difficult it can be to ask for help, especially when you’ve spent years trying to just get on with things. Because of this, I offer a limited number of free Rewind sessions to veterans who may be struggling. If this feels like something that could help, please feel free to get in touch for a confidential chat.
