Tracy Short

I am currently offering face-to-face, online and telephone counselling.

Sometimes you come to a point in life where something needs to change and you need help with that shift. Maybe you have unresolved issues from the past; possibly you are having difficulty dealing with more recent events.

Perhaps you feel stressed, anxious, sad, depressed, confused, angry or numb and it is getting in the way of you living your life as you would like. It could be that you have noticed unhelpful patterns or thoughts. Alternatively you may feel just stuck or have a sense that on the surface life appears fine but something is missing.

My aim is to offer support in exploring how these events and feelings are impacting your life and help you find a way through.

How often do you have the opportunity to talk about you and be fully listened to?

I provide a time and space where, without judgement, you will find hope, confidentiality, empathy and warmth.

In helping you gain an understanding of what has happened or is happening, I aim to help you identify the changes you want to make and help you deal with those issues. 

I tailor my way of working to suit you, using the most appropriate combination of approaches from my training in Person Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Gestalt, Creative Therapy and Mindfulness. If these terms sound baffling then don’t worry – it just means I have a variety of ways of counselling and we find what is best for you and what you bring.

I am an 'Approved Therapist' registered and working for Anxiety UK.

I have experience in working with the following:

anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, confidence issues, self-steem issues, stress, self-harm, anger, domestic abuse, relationships, boarding school syndrome, feeling stuck, parent relationships, sibling/twin relationships, loss, work related problems.

I offer a free first half-hour session.

I work on a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday, daytimes and early evenings. I offer online, in person or a combination of both.

I work with Supervisees who have trained in a range of models including PCT, CBT, Gestalt, TA and Psychodynamic - both online and in person. I also work creatively.

I enjoy working with counselling students and my experience as a tutor can be helpful in this area.

My aim is to provide a safe and positive space for you to reflect and explore your work with your clients through collaboration within a trusted relationship.

I work to support you so that you feel comfortable to bring all that is necessary to supervision to get the best out of it for both you and your clients.

I charge £60 for a 1.5 hour session and I also offer discounts to students.

If you would like to have an initial chat to see that we are a good fit, I offer a free 20min session, either online or a phone call.

Feel free to contact me, with no obligation.
