What is Psychotherapy?
Psychotherapy refers to a range of different approaches and methods that can help with mental health problems and emotional challenges. These can include Brief Therapy, NLP, CBT, Solution Focus Hypnotherapy, Psychoanalysis, Family Therapy and Couples Therapy.
Psychotherapists are mental health professionals who are trained to listen to a person's problems and help them find a solution. As well as listening and discussing important issues, a psychotherapist can suggest strategies for resolving problems as well as helping to change attitudes and behaviour.

Tracy Sheppard
I’m an Integrative Therapist who welcomes Adults and Children (aged 9 years +) for Counselling.
Counselling for Adults: Sometimes life’s twists and turns can stop us in our tracks, or we recognise we feel uncomfortable or misaligned. Therapy can help to explore and smooth out our inner selves.
Counselling for Children aged 9+, Tweens, Teens & Young Adults: If you are concerned about a young person navigating challenges, worries, or distress it can be hard to know how to help. Therapy can be a place to make sense of their upsets and find some calm.

I am warm and approachable and strive to provide a safe, non-judgemental, and confidential space for you to explore anything that you wish to talk about. My core modalility is person-centred; however I am trained to integrate other psychological approaches into our work together.

I offer integrative, relational counselling for adults, creating a supportive space where you can talk openly about what’s been weighing on you, at your own pace.
