Welcome, I’m Tracey Collins
BSci, MSci, MSocSci (first class honours), PGDipPsych (Clin)
It can be difficult to climb a mountain on our own.
But when we have a guide to show us an easier path, we can get out of challenging situations and reach our goals. I invite you to reach out and allow me to shine light on a path towards growth and healing.
We all have things we struggle with,
It's called being
Human.
Sometimes these challenges affect our mental well-being and functioning, or maybe we just want life to feel a bit better than it currently is. Helping to make sense of small difficulties or massive challenges can be made easier with someone alongside you to listen and help.
I like to lead clients to find THEIR way to healing. Problems often stem from previous situations in life where coping strategies were learnt that worked at the time but later in life those same strategies are affecting how we react to stressful situations.
I invite clients through a journey of discovery to unlock the puzzle of their distress and move towards living an authentic life.
MY APPROACH
Everyone has their story.
It is through this story that we can work together in an approach of compassion, empathy, and non-judgement to reconnect you to your innate wisdom, authenticity, and support of individual growth.
You are the expert of yourself, and I will guide and facilitate a journey of healing and connection to your inner self, to live a more meaningful life. I support this journey of self-discovery with an approach of curiosity, using scientific research alongside psychological theory, models, and tools, to create an intuitive and eclectic approach for you as an individual.
An intuitive & eclectic approach, based on scientific & psychological theory & tools.
We each have had individual sessions with her, and so far, one session with all present. These have provided considerable relief from tension and improvements in communication. There is more to be done and we look forward to the process, knowing we have skilled help from someone we trust. Tracey is very approachable with a warm and open manner. An excellent listener, she is good at probing further when she senses a significant (sometimes small) piece of the puzzle. Life experience, commitment to her work, strong empathy, presence of mind and an ability to speak honestly, make her a very able and willing assistant in a difficult situation.
We would thoroughly recommend her empathetic and skills based work. Thank you very much Tracey for your help so far.
Tracey was able to shift through the muddle of information I gave her and ask pointed questions that unlocked trauma I never even realised I had carried. It was like a huge light went on and a huge weight shifted and I knew what I needed to do. Tracey also gave me some “tools” to work with. I am so grateful to Tracey for the work she does. Tracey has a wonderfully gentle and honouring way of working with you. I felt completely safe the whole time I was working with her.
I would highly recommend her to anyone who is battling to make sense of it all.“
Her professional conduct was superb. Her report writing was incredibly thorough and well articulated. She was also very timely in presenting her report and communicated superbly over several weeks, leaving no uncertainty about what was happening and when it would happen. Her ability to move between professionals and clients with an ease and flow, supported a smooth engagement and sharing of knowledge and expertise.
Her insight and understanding of complexities and the multi layered nature of the challenges at hand was deeply insightful. She possesses a solid foundation of knowledge and works intuitively and compassionately. I highly recommend her.
Meeting Tracey for the first time I instantly knew she was the one we (me and my daughter) needed for some guidance and help. My daughter has only seen Tracey twice now and I can’t describe in words what a difference it has made to her (and I directly me as a mom). My daughter doesn’t open up easily, and she clicked and loved Tracey from the very first meeting. She will absolutely most definitely be a part of our lives from now on for a very long time. Thank You so much Tracey. We appreciate you more than you will ever ever know or understand.
