Tracie Stockton

Hi, I’m Tracie — a down-to-earth counsellor, army veteran, and neurodivergent human. I’m a creative and integrative therapist, and I believe counselling is about one real person meeting another with honesty, respect, and compassion.

I bring both professional training and lived experience into my work. I served 14 years in the British Army and understand the pressures of high-stress environments, identity shifts, and invisible wounds. I’m also neurodivergent, with lived experience of ADHD, which gives me a deep understanding of the challenges that can affect focus, emotions, relationships, and self-worth.

I don’t see clients as problems to be fixed. I see whole people — and couples — doing their best to cope with complex lives. My style is practical, warm, and grounded. I value authenticity and believe therapy works best when you feel safe enough to be yourself. There is space for humour when it helps, and compassion when things feel heavy.

I work integratively, meaning I draw from a range of therapeutic approaches and tailor the work to suit you. Sessions are collaborative and paced to meet your needs, whether you’re seeking support as an individual or as a couple.

I specialise in working with couples and with people affected by ADHD. ADHD can shape communication, emotional regulation, intimacy, and daily life in powerful ways — often leading to misunderstanding or frustration in relationships. I help clients make sense of these patterns, reduce shame, and develop more compassionate and workable ways of relating.

I offer online therapy, which many clients find reduces pressure and increases accessibility. Being in your own space can help with focus, regulation, and openness, particularly for neurodivergent clients. I aim to create a calm, supportive environment where you feel heard, understood, and able to explore what’s going on beneath the surface.

I work with individuals and couples experiencing a wide range of difficulties, including ADHD, relationship challenges, trauma, PTSD, anxiety, addiction, and the impact of military life.

My practice is grounded in the belief that meaningful change happens when people feel safe, understood, and respected. With couples, I support you to slow down unhelpful cycles, improve communication, and rebuild connection — particularly where neurodivergence or stress is present. With individuals, I offer space to explore identity, emotions, and patterns that may feel confusing or overwhelming.

Online therapy allows flexibility and continuity, making it easier to attend regularly and integrate therapy into everyday life. I adapt sessions to suit your needs, drawing on talk therapy, somatic awareness, and creative approaches where helpful.

Your first session is a chance for us to begin getting to know each other and to explore what has brought you to therapy. There is no pressure to share everything at once. We will move at a pace that feels manageable for you.

I’ll invite you to talk about what you’re struggling with, what you hope for from therapy, and any concerns you may have — particularly if you’re new to counselling or have had mixed experiences in the past. For couples, this includes understanding your relationship dynamic and what feels most important to address.

We’ll also talk about how we might work together and whether this feels like the right fit. My aim is for you to leave the first session feeling heard, respected, and clearer about the next steps.

Couples sessions £75

I offer day time and talk therapy session;s in the beautiful countryside around Richmond, face to face sessions from home and remotely online. 

Early morning and evening  online sessions are available

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.

I offer concession rates of £45 to veterans and serving soldiers

I offer a free 20-minute phone or video call so you can get a feel for how I work and decide if counselling with me feels right for you. Our first full session will always take place online, giving you flexibility and comfort as we begin the journey together

I currently offer day time session's of walk and talk therapy from the beautiful South Park and work online early morning and evening  appointment's are available.

For some people, sitting face-to-face can feel intense or too much. Walk-and-talk therapy is an alternative I offer around Darlington and Richmond. Walking side by side in nature can make it easier to untangle thoughts, process emotions, and speak more freely without constant eye contact. The rhythm of movement and the calming presence of the outdoors can help soothe an overactive mind and ease anxiety. Many clients find being outside helps conversations flow more naturally, while offering the grounding benefits of nature itself. Together, we’ll explore your story through a blend of talk therapy, somatic work, and creative techniques — helping you feel more grounded, connected, and more like yourself again.
