About me
Hello, welcome to my profile,
My name is Tracy Emanuel-Pearson, I am a BACP Reg, Professional Person-Centred Therapist, with over 25 years experience from working within the mental health and social care sector.
How I help support people
As a private compassionate therapist, my vocation is to work collaboratively and safely with my clients to facilitate and provide the necessary conditions to promote change for those who are struggling with ways to overcome any anxieties or depression with adverse mental health struggles and difficult life experiences, past or present.
Why you might contact me
Clients contact me as a first step for several reasons, usually to help them work through difficult emotions and for support, guidance or clarity, as life can sometimes bring confusion, overwhelm, sadness, pain and distress, leaving them feeling stuck or in some way isolated with their problems to face alone.
Also...
- You may want to talk to someone outside of your social or family circle for a neutral understanding and acceptance of your own thoughts, feelings and behaviours and to find your own path in life
- You may be struggling with managing life around Neurodivergence or another diagnosis
- IIness, grief, divorce or relational conflict around others
- Domestic violence/Rape/Abuse/ACES- adverse childhood experiences.
- Narcissistic family characteristics/personal relationships
- Trauma healing/PTSD
- Co-dependency-attachment to others with alcolism/drugs/mental-health issues/losing self on the way.
- I am a Neurodivergent therapist.
What happens next?
When you contact me, I will offer you a 20- minute call, with an assessment to discuss your needs from counselling. Importantly, the call offers us a way to see if we would like to work together and for me to offer flexibility, before any counselling begins.
- Sessions could be held face to face, online or by telephone.
- Therapy can be short or long-term, depending on the individual requirements and work involved with each person.
What will happen in sessions?
During sessions... I will work alongside you to facilitate the changes you want to make. I will help support you to re-wire any old, core beliefs or unhelpful damaging coping mechanisms that are hindering your personal growth and development, that are keeping you stuck.
- Sessions will support you to learn important skills and boundaries around others and teach you about self-compassion.
- Offer reflection and build resilience for managing the issues that have brought you to therapy.
- You can learn how to process, manage and understand difficult emotions, thoughts, feelings, behaviours and communication barriers.
- Understand and respond effectively to the fight/flight responses that can push you outside of your tolerance levels.
- You will understand how to manage your personal triggers and reactions.
When sessions end..
I have experienced how the counselling process can promote change, personal growth and empowerment for my clients in most cases. Clients are able to find some resolve to the issues that they have brought into therapy when they engage and we work alongside person-centred therapy. They feed back that they felt held, safe, heard and accepted and that they recognised change was something that sometimes needed support to help manage their issues and personal journey.
'The Counselling process' underpins a rewarding way for you to take back control of your 'own life' so that you feel empowered rather than disempowered.
I understand that seeking a therapist can be a daunting and frightening experience, so it's important to know, there is someone here to help, guide and listen to your concerns, fears, and be able to hold a space where you feel accepted, safe, not judged and be able to heal from the reasons you are seeking support for.
Other Information
I do offer psychoeducation during sessions' which can be helpful for some in offering insight for your emotional growth and self-awareness and give you more understanding of the issues you are facing

Training, qualifications & experience

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.

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.

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.
