About Tracey Austin-Plahe
Tracey Austin-Plahe is an integrative therapist based in the United Kingdom and a licensed member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP), the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK. She approaches therapy with a focus on building a nonjudgmental space where people can explore difficult thoughts and feelings and begin to make sense of what they are experiencing.
Tracey recognises that seeking therapy can feel daunting, so she prioritises clear listening and compassionate support. In sessions she works collaboratively to help clients develop practical skills that increase their sense of control and resilience when navigating life transitions or ongoing challenges.
Over five years of practice, Tracey has supported people with a wide range of concerns, including relationship difficulties and infidelity, family conflict, grief and loss - whether related to a person, employment, or friendship - as well as low motivation, self-esteem issues, anxiety, depression, self-harm, and loneliness. She also works with matters such as stress, addictions, parenting, trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, and career concerns.
Tracey aims to be approachable and responsive to practical questions about working arrangements. She is unavailable to conduct sessions on the the platform site on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday because she works elsewhere on those days. Prospective clients are invited to get in touch with any questions about her hours on this platform or other aspects of her practice.

Therapeutic approaches and online support
Tracey draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to tailor support to each person's needs. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns influence current connections and emotional responses - it can be helpful for issues like abandonment, attachment concerns, and relationship conflicts. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where the client leads the pace of work and the therapist offers empathic listening and support - this approach is suited to people seeking greater self-understanding and emotional acceptance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Tracey works collaboratively with clients to find the best fit based on their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. Together they review what is and is not working and adapt the methods used as therapy progresses.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility for people balancing work, family, or mobility constraints. Tracey provides support through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing clients to access licensed professionals from home or other convenient locations and to schedule sessions around daily commitments.
