About Tracey
Tracey Bonelle welcomes people who feel stuck, overwhelmed or unsure about the next step. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through stress, anxiety, grief, low mood and issues that affect daily life. Tracey meets clients with warmth and careful listening to help them feel heard and understood.
Tracey takes a collaborative, person-centred approach. She moves at a pace that suits each person and focuses on the relationship in session.
Background and approach
That means listening to life stories, noticing unhelpful patterns, and working together to find practical ways forward. Sessions include time to make sense of difficult emotions and to build everyday coping skills. Tracey uses mindful awareness and skills from dialectical behaviour therapy to help people manage strong feelings and reactions.
She also draws on attachment-based and psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences shape present behaviour. Her practice pays particular attention to issues such as relationship and family concerns, identity and LGBT matters, parenting strain, addiction and compassion fatigue. She also supports people facing complex trauma, bereavement, chronic health challenges, and neurodivergent experiences such as autism and adult ADHD.
Tracey is a BACP member. Her work has included roles in the NHS, education, a community interest charity and independent practice. She aims to combine practical strategies with reflective listening so clients can reconnect with their strengths and make steady changes.

How Tracey works online
She also uses client-centred therapy that places the person's experience at the centre of the work. This approach focuses on listening, empathy and helping people find their own solutions to stress, low mood and life changes.
Dialectical behaviour therapy skills are used to teach practical coping techniques. These skills help with intense emotions, impulsive reactions and building routines for better day-to-day coping.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to agree which methods feel most helpful, based on their goals, needs and preferences. That collaborative decision-making happens in early sessions and can evolve over time.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow check-ins from different locations. Some formats may be better for short reviews, while others suit longer reflective work; checking options ahead of time helps plan what will work best for you.
