More about Tracey

- BACP
Hi, I am Tracey. Please find below a little information about me and my work. I am an integrative therapist and licensed member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapy, living in the UK.
As a therapist, I recognise that for many people taking the first step to sign up for therapy can be an incredibly difficult and daunting process. You can be assured that if we work together, I will truly listen to you and, by doing so, provide you with the emotional well-being support necessary to help you navigate your way through this trying period of your life. Furthermore, I will aim to provide you with skills to enable you to feel more in control when future challenges arise.
I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment.
Through the course of my client work, I have supported individuals with an array of presenting concerns such as relationship issues, family conflicts, grief, and loss (whether it be the loss of an important person, employment, or friendship) lack of motivation, and self-esteem concerns, anxiety and depression, self-harm and loneliness.
Important information for potential clients. I am unavailable to conduct sessions on the BetterHelp site on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday mornings as I work elsewhere at these times. Please feel free to message me for more clarity.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

I haven’t met many people like Tracey , she’s always really willing to listen , understanding, her advice is spot on.. I love her energy , I feel reenergised after a session with her.
Tracey is a brilliant therapist. I’ve only had 3 sessions with her but already she has got to some core struggles I have and has started to help me work through them. Her perspective and advice is great, challenging me to think in different ways, and she sends me recommendations on things to listen to too. Looking forward to continuing with Tracey.
I have been working with Tracey for almost 5 months now. She’s created a space where I feel totally at ease, never judged and just very cared for and comfortable . She is always available when I feel the need to write down my thoughts and she responds very quick on top of being super flexible with scheduling when needed. Seriously, she is a gem. If you’re looking for a therapist who’s caring, understanding, and awesome, she’s the one!”
Tracey helped me to understand myself better and validated my feelings and struggles. She helped me to look at them with much more compassion and acceptance. Tracey also helped me to ease my social anxiety greatly. A couple of sessions ago I felt pretty miserable, now I feel good and capable of improving my life.
Tracey is considerate & makes appropriate suggestions, She is my best therapist so far!
Tracey is very compassionate and caring. She seems to understand my feelings and asks great questions that lead me to answer. I find her manner to be very comforting.
Tracey is an excellent therapist. She will help you through and not let you down .
I find Tracey very helpful and easy to speak to. She has made rethink some of my ways to become more independent and not having to rely on an ex partner.
Despite having only one session, l had a great time with Tracey, and l am looking forward to more. I am rather caught up in my head, and Tracey was very calm and understanding, simply allowing me to share my feelings while listening, and providing some useful alternative perspectives. Thank you Tracey!
Tracey is an amazing therapist and really helped me navigate though my challenges emotionally
It's only been 2 sessions but she helped me to understand myself along the way and check in on me once in a while to see how I'm doing. I really appreciate her patience and understanding in dealing with my problems.
