About me
My name is Tracey and I offer a warm, welcoming and friendly counselling service for Adults and Young people - in person as well as via telephone and on-line.
I will provide you with a safe and confidential space to work through anything you may be finding difficult to face alone - such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, loss. I can offer some evening and some weekend appointments.
At times we all need help coping with life’s challenges. Sometimes we just need to talk, and to be heard. Being able to share what is going on for you with someone who knows how to listen can bring enormous relief.
Together we will build a trusting and supportive relationship, within which we can explore your thoughts, feelings and emotions.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a registered member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP)
My qualification is in integrative counselling, which essentially means my training involved learning and understanding multiple counselling theories, and how these can best help clients.
My main approach to counselling is a Person-centered one. I believe the relationship between Counsellor and client is at the heart of everything we do, and I provide a supportive environment in which you can start to understand yourself better.
My life experience includes many years of working with children and young people, as well as experience of working as a school counsellor. Alongside this, I also have much experience in working with adults across all ages and stages of life. I have worked in the Voluntary sector, and am currently working as a Counsellor in a Charity setting, as well as in my own private practice.
Qualifications:
CPCAB Level 5 Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling
CPCAB Level 4 Diploma in Integrative Therapeutic Counselling
CPCAB Level 3 Certificate in Counselling studies
CPCAB Level 2 Certificate in Counselling skills
ELSA certificate
Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.

What happens next
To get started, and to ensure I am the right counsellor for you, I offer a free 20 minute telephone consultation. The first step is to give me a call or drop me an email. We can arrange a mutually convenient time, where we can talk about what you would like to get from counselling, and to give you the opportunity to ask me any questions you might have.
If you feel then that you would like to proceed, then together we can plan your first session.
Sessions will be 50 minutes long, usually once a week and at a prearranged time. This can be in person in Devizes or Westbury, online or via the telephone. You will be able to bring any issues or concerns that you wish to our sessions. I will provide a warm, comfortable space for you to explore your feelings, your thoughts and behaviours.
