Tracy Reeve

I am a Person-Centred Counsellor and Supervisor. Since qualifying in 2011 I have worked successfully with a wide range of clients and issues and have experience in counselling teenagers, adults and couples. N.B. Client testimonials can be viewed at the bottom of this page and on my website.

With a Masters Degree in Person-Centred Counselling, I am a Registered Psychotherapeutic Counsellor with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

I have thousands of hours of client contact and this work has addressed a wide variety of concerns including anxiety, depression, self-harm, relationship problems, loss, grief and bereavement, low self-confidence and esteem, abuse, trauma, gender identity and sexuality, work difficulties, bullying, parenting, family issues, illness and disability.

I am open to being approached with any issue that you have.

I aim to offer understanding and empathy and a safe, supportive and non-judgemental environment in which my clients can explore their thoughts and feelings.

Daily life can present us with a variety of psychological and emotional challenges that can be difficult to deal with or leave us in a situation that is hard to bear. Counselling can help to manage that distress and promote better mental health and well-being.

Anxiety, panic attacks, feeling sad, stress and depression are often difficult to talk about. Speaking to someone who is trained to really listen can help to express your thoughts.

Traumatic life experiences such as relationship breakdown, bereavement or abuse can be hard to live with. Talking with a qualified counsellor can help to explore your feelings.

Low self-confidence, low self-esteem, illness or disability can feel overwhelming. Looking at these issues with a therapist can be helpful.

Sometimes we don't feel able or we don't want to talk to those close to us or we don't have anyone who is really listening to what we are saying.

This is where I can help.

How I Work

Counselling provides you with an opportunity to present issues that are causing you concern, difficulty or distress to someone who is trained and experienced in providing psychological and relational help. As your therapist I will respect you as a person and respect your confidences.

Our first meeting will give us the time to clarify what therapy will involve, discussing the areas you wish to cover and to discuss what support might be helpful to you.

The number and frequency of counselling sessions you choose to have will be at your discretion. I am happy to work with you for a short time or for a more open-ended, long-term period of time.

I work in a ground floor room in Harleston. I am also happy to work with you on the telephone.

My practice is informed by the Humanistic perspective. I work with a person-centred approach believing in the value of the therapeutic relationship and offering confidentiality and empathy in a safe and non-judgemental environment.

The therapeutic relationship can facilitate personal development, growth and understanding and so enable you to make positive life changes if you choose to do so.

I can help you to explore and clarify your thoughts and feelings and with greater awareness and clarity it is possible to have a clearer understanding of ourselves and others.

If you would like to speak to me about any of the above or have any queries please do not hesitate to give me a call.

SUPERVISION

I offer supervision to fellow counsellors, trainee counsellors and to other professionals who work directly with people, in a supporting/helping role.

As a supervisor I aim to support supervisees to reflect on all aspects of their clinical work by creating an environment that facilitates open and honest communication, that helps develop reflective practice, where the welfare of clients and the quality of therapy is central. As a supervisor I aim to provide a collaborative relationship for supporting, developing and monitoring the supervisee’s work in their counselling practice by:

• Open and honest communication 

• Protecting and enhancing standards of practice

• Offering constructive feedback and guidance 

• Providing an environment that is supportive and reflective 

• Offer empathy and respect – to provide sufficient privacy for the supervisee to work with their personal issues involved in the work.

• Enhancing the aptitude, knowledge and skills of the counsellor focusing on work with current clients.

• Identify and monitor professional learning and development needs.

Sessions are available Mon - Fri and some evenings and last for 1 hour.

Individuals  £45

Couples  £60

Fees are payable at each session in cash, cheque or in advance by bank transfer.

Client testimonials

“I contacted Tracy when I was feeling very emotional and confused. Chatting things through has helped me to find some clarity and to feel more normal again.”

“I always left my counselling sessions feeling so much better for discussing things out loud and everything was clearer and more positive. It also helped me to have the confidence to go for a promotion at work which I got.”

“Tracy offers a warm welcome and a relaxed environment for a much needed ‘chat’. Tracy is a wonderful listener who I completely trust. She is patient and compassionate but constructively challenging when she needs to be. I am really pleased to have met her and highly recommend her.”

“Counselling has helped my wife and me to talk about our problems and find a way to move forward.”

“So easy to talk to, Tracy has helped me deal with several of life’s challenges.”

“Tracy is a great listener, analytical, compassionate (without being sentimental), trustworthy and a very kind person.”

“Tracy made me feel at ease immediately so it was like talking to a friend.”

“I was a Year 11 pupil struggling to attend school after an illness. Tracy quickly clicked with me and made me feel at ease and gave me some much needed honest help.”

“Fantastic counselling service, the first time I have been, so was very nervous. However Tracy was really friendly and has helped me through with several traumatic events in my life by listening to me, and helping to find some new ways to understand, so that I can accept that my life is what it is, and finally having hope going forward...
Tracy communicates well, even though I have a hearing problem, would recommend Tracy.”

“Tracy has a fabulous knack of creating the right environment for you to get to the core of the issue yourself. There is no pressure, but by skilfully asking the pertinent questions she naturally leads you to discover the hub of the problem. I would recommend Tracy’s help to anyone having issues in their lives”

“Talking through my problems with an outsider helped me to see things from a different perspective. It broke the thought cycle I had been going over and over in my mind which I had been unable to resolve. I now feel much less troubled and much more myself.”
