Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Tracy directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
Therapeutic approaches for work online
Tracy uses Narrative Therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves. This approach looks at how past events and labels shape current problems and opens up new ways to see them. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT - which focuses on values and small, practical actions to move life in a chosen direction. ACT can help with anxiety, depression and coping with change. Attachment-Based Therapy is another strand she uses to explore how early relationships affect how people connect now and to improve communication and trust.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Tracy talks with each person about their goals and preferences and then agrees a collaborative plan. She checks in and adjusts the approach as therapy progresses so it fits the client’s needs and pace.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video is useful for deeper conversational work, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging suits short check-ins or ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties or travel while keeping continuity of care with a registered professional.
