Tracy Brooks MBACP Dip. Couns.

About me
I'm an integrative therapist which means I draw from a range of therapeutic models according to individual client needs. I believe in my ability to form strong relational alliances. This has developed from many years working in client focussed roles. My belief is that a strong relationship aids the therapeutic process.
I have worked extensively in post-natal and peri-natal mental health, clients living with cancer, bereavement, loss, trauma and abuse. Alongside this I have worked with eating disorders, self-harm, addiction, life transitions, panic disorders, relationships, anxiety and depression.
