With You Every Step of the Way

Your well-being is my ultimate concern.

Hi, I'm Tracey

For many years, I have provided clients in the Kingston upon Hull area, and the surrounding villages with counselling services to suit their needs. My therapy sessions are designed to strengthen your confidence and assist you in the healing process. Take a look at the services I offer and get in touch with me today.

A Bit About My Therapy Sessions

If you’re looking for quality therapy sessions with an accredited counsellor who cares, then you’ve come to the right place. I guide my clients every step of the way and implement various methods to help them develop new attitudes towards all of life’s most complex matters. Book an appointment today and see what I can do for you.

"Until you make the unconscious CONSCIOUS, it will direct your life and you will call it fate"

Carl Jung

Feeling a bit down lately and nothing seems to lift your spirits? It might be time to seek help from a qualified counsellor. My sessions help clients develop positive attitudes towards life’s most complex and challenging circumstances. Contact me today and let me help you find the best in yourself.

Hi, I'm Tracey. I’m a BACP Accredited counsellor and I can help you to understand your problems and what’s keeping you stuck or caught in a repetitive cycle. I will listen to you, and offer a warm, caring, empathic and confidential space that gives you the chance to share your deepest fears.

Contacting a stranger to talk about your difficulties is a big step. I fully understand how challenging therapy can be. I will make every effort to help you feel comfortable, safe, respected, and listened to. Having had counselling many years ago, and working through the problems, I managed to regain a sense of balance and control.
I then became passionate about counselling and graduated from Hull University as a qualified counsellor. I continued with my training and then became accredited with the BACP. I completed further studies, and qualified as a clinical supervisor to other counsellors. As you can see, I believe that counselling has the potential to be a positive 'life changing' experience.

I think that people are just trying to make it through in life, and there are reasons people behave the way they do. I help people understand this. When sessions are coming to an end, my client’s feedback is incredibly positive, and they express how their new self-awareness has helped them feel more accepting of themselves, accepting of others, and has helped them to make changes.
Using counselling, CBT, and other techniques tailored to your particular needs, I help people understand how their thoughts, and feelings, affect each other.

If you choose to work with me, you will gain a greater understanding of yourself and your choices and will feel better about yourself.
If you'd like to make an appointment either phone me on 07557125134 or email me to arrange a chat.

If I am in a session and unavailable to answer, please leave a message and I will return your call as soon as I can.

Anxiety

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) has been shown to be one of the most effective treatments for General Anxiety Disorder (GAD).

CBT can help you to understand how your thoughts, feelings and behaviour affect each other. It can also help you to understand and challenge your negative and anxious thoughts. CBT can also help you recognise, and change what safety behaviours you might be putting in place, such as avoidance.

Depression

The signs of depression can be complex and can vary from person to person. If the feelings are interfering with your life and don’t go away after a couple of weeks, or if they come back, over and over again, for a few days at a time, it could be a sign that you’re depressed in the medical sense of the term. Understanding depression and its triggers can be helpful for sufferers trying to manage the condition.

Low Self Esteem

Sometimes a number of bad experiences can have a cumulative effect on how we think of ourselves; sometimes something that happened in the past can trigger low self-esteem in the present.
During counselling, negative patterns might emerge, which could highlight your self-concept.

You may find it useful to talk about, and work through past experiences – even if they’re painful. You may lay some old ghosts to rest, and forgive yourself and others, and move on.

The past can’t be changed, but how you think about it, and how you approach the future can.

If you’re looking for quality therapy sessions with an accredited counsellor who cares, then you’ve come to the right place. I guide my clients every step of the way and implement various methods to help them develop new attitudes towards all of life’s most complex matters.

Contact me today and let me help you find the best in yourself.

I feel that it is extremely important that you can trust your supervisor. Many supervisees’, particularly in the early days, after their training, can be a bit fearful of supervision. I know myself, and from other counsellor’s experiences, that their past supervisory relationships has sometimes evoked memories of embarrassment, shame and judgement.

I work collaboratively with supervisee’s offering a safe space without fear of judgement. I believe supervision is a place for curiosity and reflection, whilst being supportive and challenging to promote supervisee’s awareness and understanding. This is to help ensure the effective development of their counselling practice, and to enable a safe, trusting relationship.

I enjoy sharing my experience, knowledge, and training with my supervisees’ and inevitably learning from them too. I believe supervision is a two way process, as you will bring your own experience, as well as your hopes and fears to enrich the supervisory relationship.

I can offer supervisee’s the benefit of my experience from my ongoing private practice, which includes extensive experience of managing risk in addition to my professional experience and continued professional development training.

In addition to my private practice, I have worked on a clinical oversight team for a counselling provider in Hull helping their counsellors manage clients difficult issues, which includes risk.

The supervision model I am currently practising is The Seven-Eyed Supervision model developed by Peter Hawkins and Robin Shohet.

I like The Seven Eyed model, as it focuses on the relationships between client, therapist, and supervisor and on the interplay between each relationship. The model is called “seven eyed” because it focuses on seven distinct aspects of the therapeutic process. By looking through each ‘eye’ it is possible to see a different side of the whole of your supervision session. I also incorporate aspects of Page and Wosket’s "Cyclical model".

I will help you to abide by the BACP ethical framework
