About me
Hi, I’m Tracey, a qualified, BACP-registered integrative counsellor based in Kenilworth.
I offer a warm, empathetic and non-judgemental space where you can feel heard, understood and supported. I recognise that reaching out for counselling can feel daunting, and I aim to create a safe environment where you can explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences at your own pace, without fear of judgement.
I believe that everyone is unique, and there is no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. Drawing on my experience and a range of therapeutic approaches, I tailor our work to your individual needs, helping you to develop greater self-awareness, work through challenges and find a way forward that feels right for you.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a fully qualified and experienced Integrative Counsellor, offering a tailored approach that recognises each person’s individual needs and experiences. I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches, including person-centred, cognitive behavioural and psychodynamic therapy, to support clients in making sense of their experiences and finding a way forward.
My professional experience includes working with both teenagers and adults within a sexual abuse charity, as well as with a bereavement counselling service. These experiences have given me valuable insight into the impact of trauma, abuse, grief and loss, and the importance of providing a safe, compassionate space in which people feel able to explore difficult experiences at their own pace.
I also have a particular interest in ADHD and an understanding of the challenges it can bring, including emotional regulation, relationships, self-esteem and feeling overwhelmed. I recognise how these experiences can affect different areas of life and the importance of feeling understood rather than judged.
Alongside these areas of interest, I work with a wide range of difficulties, including anxiety, low mood, relationship issues, life transitions and challenges with self-confidence.
I hold a Diploma in Integrative Counselling and am a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP).
My aim is to work collaboratively with you to explore what may be contributing to your difficulties, develop greater self-understanding and find ways of coping that feel right for you.
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.
