About Traci
Counsellor Traci Lawler is BACP registered and has four years' experience working with stress, anxiety, addictions, family concerns, self esteem, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, intimacy difficulties, eating concerns, parenting strains, anger, career problems, depression, coaching needs, compassion fatigue and ADHD. She practises in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English.
Traci works in a reflective way. She invites people to talk about current problems and to look back at earlier experiences that still affect daily life. Conversations can cover past losses, repeated patterns and how old coping habits show up now. That helps make sense of emotional reactions and choices.
She uses a mix of approaches in sessions. Traci often draws on attachment ideas to look at relationship patterns. She uses client-centred listening to focus on a person’s priorities. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy techniques may be used to develop practical skills for coping day to day.
When appropriate she introduces mindfulness exercises and motivational techniques to support change. She also works on boundaries, self-worth and communication skills. The aim is to help people find clearer ways to manage feelings and relationships.
Traci suggests weekly sessions to work through issues and build new habits. Fees vary by location and sessions are arranged through a subscription system that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and book an initial appointment.
Therapeutic approaches used in online counselling
Traci commonly uses attachment-based work and cognitive behavioural therapy in her sessions. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect present relationships and emotional responses. It helps with repeated relationship difficulties and understanding where strong reactions come from.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and practising alternatives. It is often used for stress, anxiety, mood and behaviour change, with clear exercises to try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Traci will discuss different methods with each person and together they decide what fits best for the client’s needs and goals. This is a collaborative process that can change as progress is made.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can also suggest practical adaptations for those wanting skills practice or paced support over several weeks.
