About therapy

Mental health is a now familiar term in the UK.  Accessing counselling and psychotherapy helps a person in distress and can also help prevent increasing distress.  Tracy’s approach is collaborative as each person has different needs.

​

Having someone to talk to in an open and honest way is very important.  To have a space to talk about any subject is helpful to one’s health and wellbeing.  In doing so, one can have a cathartic experience, see one’s thoughts and behaviours, develop different perspectives, develop emotional intelligence, feel less isolated, share the burden of emotions, improve physical health and develop a greater degree of self-awareness. 

​

The process of therapy towards one’s feelings and experiences may feel uncomfortable at first.  However, the process of tending to one’s experience with patience, care and openness can develop insight and it is through insight one may attain a deep sense of being ok with self, others and the world.
