Tracy Fiddler, BACP

Tracy Fiddler is a UK-based person-centred counsellor who combines a caring, flexible approach with practical tools to support people through a wide range of life challenges. She has six years of counselling experience and more than 20 years working in education, a background that has deepened her understanding of parenting, school attendance concerns, ADHD, and autism spectrum conditions in both children and adults.

Her practice addresses bereavement and loss, midlife transitions, childhood trauma, sleep awareness, relationship and workplace difficulties, and issues with self-esteem. In addition to talking therapy, she uses theory-based exercises and activities drawn from mindfulness, Gestalt techniques, and play therapy when working with parents and families, tailoring methods to suit each person or household.

Tracy adapts sessions to individual needs, offering a non-judgemental, ethical space where clients set the pace and topics for exploration. She aims to help people make tangible changes - sometimes even one small change can shift a person’s outlook - and she works collaboratively to identify practical steps toward those goals. Tracy is a member of BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which reflects her commitment to professional standards and ongoing development.

Client-Centered Care and Online Support

Client-Centered Therapy places the client at the heart of the therapeutic process, emphasising empathetic listening, acceptance, and collaboration to help people explore their thoughts and feelings. This approach is well suited to issues such as low self-esteem, relationship and family concerns, grief, and navigating life changes because it supports clients to find their own solutions.

Mindfulness is offered as a complementary technique that teaches gentle awareness of the present moment and practical ways to reduce stress and improve sleep and anxiety management. Play therapy techniques are used when working with parents and families to support children’s emotional expression and to strengthen family communication and problem-solving.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Tracy will work collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. Registered professionals and therapists can deliver these methods effectively through remote formats.

Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy lives and accessibility for those who cannot attend in person. These options make it easier to book appointments, maintain continuity of care, and receive support from the setting that works best for the client.
