Welcome to Tracy Ancell Counselling

Welcome — I'm glad you're here. I understand how hard it can be to reach out for support — but you have taken the first step.

 

I am a qualified Gestalt counsellor providing face to face and online counselling, for adults and young people (age 16+).

 

Life is not always straightforward and predictable. It can be full of unexpected challenges, uncertainties, and moments that can feel overwhelming. Perhaps you are navigating anxiety, low mood, loss, relationship struggles, or simply feeling stuck? Know that this is a safe, supportive space where your story matters and your feelings are valid.

 

​I believe that everyone has the potential for growth and the ability to make positive changes in their lives. I will help you to explore and make sense of your world and experiences, offering thoughtful, respectful, non-judgemental support as you find a way forward that feels right for you, at a pace you are comfortable with.
