About me
Integrative Psychotherapist & Counsellor | Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, Stress, Burnout & Addiction.
Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally exhausted or struggling to feel like yourself?
Perhaps you're constantly overthinking, finding everyday life increasingly difficult, struggling with relationships or carrying the emotional impact of experiences from your past. You may appear to be coping on the outside, while internally feeling stressed, disconnected, low or simply exhausted.
Whatever you're experiencing, you don't have to face it alone.
I'm Tracey, an experienced Integrative Psychotherapist and Counsellor based in Wrexham. I offer a warm, compassionate and confidential therapeutic space where you can feel genuinely heard, understood and supported without judgement.
I work with adults experiencing a wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties, including anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, trauma, grief, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem and addiction.
My approach is grounded in the belief that everyone deserves to feel understood, supported and empowered to make meaningful changes in their lives.
How I Can Help
Anxiety, Overthinking & Panic - If you're experiencing persistent worry, generalised anxiety, panic, intrusive thoughts or constantly feeling on edge, therapy can help you understand your emotional responses, recognise unhelpful patterns and develop healthier ways of managing anxiety.
Depression, Low Mood & Emotional Exhaustion - Depression can leave you feeling disconnected, hopeless, unmotivated or emotionally numb. Together, we can explore the difficulties you're experiencing and work towards improving your emotional wellbeing, confidence and sense of self.
Stress, Workplace Difficulties & Burnout - Whether you're struggling with workplace pressures, emotional exhaustion, overwhelming responsibilities or difficulties maintaining boundaries, I can support you in understanding stress, developing emotional resilience and restoring a healthier balance in your life.
Trauma, Complex Trauma & PTSD - I have specialist experience supporting individuals affected by childhood trauma, emotional neglect, abuse, PTSD and complex trauma. I work in a trauma-informed way, recognising how difficult experiences can continue to affect our emotions, relationships, behaviours and nervous system.
Grief, Bereavement & Loss - Loss can bring overwhelming emotions, uncertainty and significant changes to our lives. I provide a compassionate space to explore grief, process difficult feelings and navigate life following bereavement, relationship breakdown or other significant losses.
Self-Esteem, Confidence & Relationships - I support individuals struggling with low self-worth, self-criticism, shame, people-pleasing, unhealthy relationship patterns, attachment difficulties and challenges around personal identity.
Addiction, Compulsive Behaviours & Recovery - As an experienced addiction therapist, I support individuals affected by alcohol and drug dependency, gambling and other addictive or compulsive behaviours. My work explores the underlying emotional difficulties, trauma, shame and coping mechanisms that can contribute to addiction, supporting meaningful and sustainable recovery.
My Professional Experience
I bring extensive professional experience across NHS mental health services, Employee Assistance Programmes, specialist residential addiction treatment and private psychotherapy practice.
Health Assured – Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) - For the past three years, and continuing in my current role, I have provided therapeutic support through Health Assured's Employee Assistance Programme. This work involves supporting individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, workplace stress, burnout, relationship difficulties, bereavement and a broad range of personal and emotional challenges.
NHS Primary Care Mental Health Counselling Service - My experience within NHS primary care mental health services has involved supporting individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, emotional distress and a wide range of psychological and mental health difficulties.
Delamere Rehab – Addiction Therapist - My specialist experience at Delamere, a residential addiction treatment centre, involved working with individuals experiencing substance dependency, trauma, shame, grief and complex emotional difficulties. This has given me valuable insight into the relationship between emotional pain, mental health, addictive behaviours and recovery.
Refocus Therapy – Private Practice - Through my private practice, I provide individualised integrative psychotherapy and counselling, supporting clients with a wide range of mental health and emotional wellbeing concerns.
My experience across these different therapeutic settings enables me to work with people from diverse backgrounds, whether they're navigating everyday emotional challenges or experiencing longstanding and complex psychological difficulties.
My Therapeutic Approach
As an Integrative Psychotherapist and Counsellor, I recognise that no two people are the same. Therapy should be tailored to your individual experiences, needs and goals.
I draw upon Person-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Transactional Analysis and trauma-informed approaches, integrating different therapeutic techniques to provide support that is appropriate for you.
I also incorporate an understanding of nervous system regulation, emotional responses, attachment, behavioural patterns and the connection between our past experiences and present-day difficulties.
Together, we can work towards:
- Understanding and managing anxiety, stress and overwhelming emotions.
- Recognising and changing unhelpful thinking and behavioural patterns.
- Exploring and processing difficult experiences.
- Developing emotional regulation, resilience and healthier coping strategies.
- Building confidence, self-esteem and stronger personal boundaries.
- Improving relationships and reconnecting with your identity and sense of purpose.
- Creating meaningful and sustainable changes in your life.
I believe therapy is not simply about managing symptoms, but about developing a deeper understanding of yourself, healing from difficult experiences and discovering new ways of living with greater emotional freedom and wellbeing.
Taking the First Step
I understand that reaching out for therapy can feel daunting, especially if you're used to managing everything yourself, putting others first or struggling to find the words to explain how you're feeling.
You don't need to have everything figured out before starting counselling.
I offer a compassionate, confidential and non-judgemental environment where you can explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
My aim is to build a genuine therapeutic relationship based on trust, empathy, authenticity and respect, where you feel safe to explore difficulties and empowered to move forward.
You deserve more than simply getting through each day. You deserve to feel heard, understood and supported in creating a life with greater confidence, clarity and emotional wellbeing.
If you're considering therapy, I warmly invite you to get in touch to discuss how we might work together.

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.
