About me

I’m Tracy, a psychotherapist, counsellor and coach, and I’m the person behind One of a Kind Counselling, Coaching and Training.

I chose the name because I believe we are all unique — and that who you are, your experiences and the way you see the world matter. I offer a warm, compassionate and non-judgemental space where you can be heard, understood and, perhaps for the first time in a while, put yourself first.

Maybe you're struggling with something that has happened in your life, feeling overwhelmed or disconnected, or simply know that something needs to change but aren't sure where to start. You might be looking for space to make sense of your thoughts and feelings, understand patterns that keep repeating, or work out what you actually want for yourself. Whatever brings you to therapy, we can take the time to understand what's happening and work through it together.

I’m a fully qualified integrative counsellor and psychotherapist and a CMI-qualified coach. I work with adults both in person and online, drawing on different therapeutic approaches depending on you, your needs and what feels helpful.

I have a particular interest in loss, grief and bereavement. Loss isn't limited to losing someone we love. We can grieve the loss of a relationship, our identity, a job or business, our health, our expectations for the future, or the life we thought we would have. These experiences can leave us feeling lost, overwhelmed or unsure of who we are, and therapy can provide a space to make sense of that.

I also work with women's issues and life transitions, including periods of change when you may find yourself questioning who you are and what you want next.

I particularly enjoy bringing elements of coaching and psychoeducation into therapy when they feel appropriate. Understanding why we feel and behave in certain ways can sometimes make things feel less frightening and more manageable, while practical tools can help you take what you've learned in therapy into everyday life.

Ultimately, I don't want you to become dependent on therapy. I want you to understand yourself, feel more confident in your own choices and have a sense of ownership over where you go next.

You are one of a kind. Your therapy should be too.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.
