About me
About Me
Hello, I’m Tracey, a warm, down-to-earth counsellor based in Huddersfield. I offer face-to-face therapy from my studio and work online with clients across the UK and beyond. With over 12 years’ experience, I’ve helped hundreds of people navigate a wide range of issues, from grief and trauma to anxiety and low self-esteem.
I understand how daunting starting therapy can feel—especially when you’re overwhelmed, unsure where to begin, or simply feeling stuck. My approach is welcoming and gentle, and I’ll work with you at your pace, helping you feel relaxed and supported from the very first session.
I use a range of counselling approaches, drawing on what works best for you. I also bring a wealth of life experience, much of it spent in a military environment supporting service personnel, veterans, and families. This unique insight led me to train as a counsellor and now shapes the way I work—with compassion, clarity, and care.
I specialise in areas such as:
Rape and sexual abuse
Loss and bereavement
Life-limiting illness
Military life issues
I’ve also worked in hospice care, at a rape crisis centre, and have delivered bereavement training to military welfare officers.
Therapy can help you make sense of your situation, discover new perspectives, and take meaningful steps forward. If something in your life is causing concern—or you’re simply not feeling like yourself—please reach out. There’s no pressure to commit, just a chance to see if I might be the right therapist for you.

Member Organisations:
Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP)
I am listed on the BACP Register, which is accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). This means I meet recognised professional standards and am committed to ethical, safe, and effective practice.
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.

I have a wealth of life experience much of which was spent in a military environment and as such working with military personnel, veterans and their families is a specialist area within my counselling work. I also specialise in the areas of loss & bereavement and rape and sexual abuse.
