About Tracey

A Little About Me
I’m a qualified counsellor, psychotherapist, and clinical supervisor with over 15 years of experience supporting people through the messiness and beauty of being human.
My work is grounded in Gestalt Therapy, somatic awareness, trauma-informed practice, and deep respect for your unique story. I value warmth, safety, realness, and the power of presence in the therapeutic space.
How I Came to This Work
Like many therapists, I was drawn to this path through personal transformation. The therapy I received changed my life. It allowed me to reconnect with myself in a way that felt meaningful, embodied, and alive.
I believe therapy can offer more than symptom relief — it can be a place of deep reconnection and renewal.
How I Work With You
My style is relational, creative, and process-oriented. Together we explore what’s happening in the moment — not just with words, but also through the body, images, metaphor, memory, and sensation.
In our sessions, you might experience:
-
Gentle attention to body and breath
-
Conversations with different parts of yourself
-
Creative expression (e.g., writing, art, sandtray)
-
The freedom to go deep, be messy, laugh, cry, or just sit quietly
There’s no pressure to be “fixed.” You are not broken. We start where you are.

What Matters to Me
I believe that presence, curiosity, and care are healing forces. I believe we heal in relationship. I believe in listening — deeply.
And I believe that you already carry the wisdom you need. My role is simply to help you find your way back to it.
A Personal Note
I’m also a human — with my own edges, longings, history, and heart. I try to bring that humanity into the room. Therapy with me won’t feel clinical or detached. It will feel human.
