About me
Hi, I'm Tracey. As a counsellor with a down-to-earth approach and a wealth of life experience, I have spent many years listening to and supporting people. I understand how difficult it can be to open up about our thoughts and feelings, especially when we're worried about being judged or having our secrets shared. I'm here to provide a safe, confidential space where we can work together to understand and resolve your issues.
Opening up, about personal struggles can be daunting, but you can rest assured that I offer a non-judgmental and confidential environment. Your thoughts and feelings are safe with me. It's important to feel comfortable and secure when sharing your innermost concerns, and I'm committed to creating that space for you.
I will accept you for who you are, without judgment. It might feel like you'll never recover from what life has thrown at you. But there's hope. I can help support adults facing challenging issues and I believe that counselling will help you understand yourself and your problems better; and give you knowledge and skills to enable you make the changes you want to make for a happy life.
How Do I Work?
As a Person-Centred Counsellor, I integrate various therapeutic approaches to meet your individual needs. My approach to counselling is compassionate and supportive. I'll encourage you to explore your thoughts and feelings at your own pace. Together, we'll look at your situation from different angles, explore your options, identify areas for self-change, and work towards a resolution which leads to leading a happier, fulfilling life. My goal is to provide a safe and supportive environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings and find solutions.
Session Locations
I offer flexible counselling options to suit your preferences.
- Face-to-face sessions: Available in Sunderland, Washington, and Newcastle City Centre.
- Remote sessions: Conducted via telephone or video calls.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a qualified counsellor with a Fda in Counselling and I am a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I am also trained in the use of Transactional Analysis, Mindfulness Meditation, Health and Wellbeing and Reiki and have experience working in various industries.
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.
