counselling
with Tracy Balfour
We experience so much in our lives that sometimes we can feel overwhelmed and this causes feelings of depression, anxiety and low self esteem. Using an integrated counselling approach, with the added option of hypnotherapy and mindfulness techniques we can work through any issues that are troubling you.

Tracy is amazing! I found myself in a place I had never been in my life. I was at an extremely low point! I’ll be honest, I was a bit sceptical that counselling would work for me. Lockdown made things so much more difficult but Tracy’s walk and talk sessions, which meant face to face contact rather than zoom, made all the difference. The way she adapted her service was amazing. She helped me get to a place in my life where I am a much better version of myself than I was before my difficulties. I cannot give Tracy enough praise. I couldn’t have done it without her and I cannot recommend her highly enough.
I'm 100% of the view that everyone needs a Tracy in their life!

Tracy was really wonderful with my 14yr old daughter who was suffering from severe anxiety. Tracy has worked wonders and we have our happy girl back. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Tracy to anyone.

Tracy has been an immense help to my 17 year old daughter, who experiences severe anxiety amongst other challenges, and our family in general. My daughter has been seeing Tracy for about a year now and I see such an improvement in her ability to navigate the world emotionally. I would not hesitate to recommend Tracy as a counsellor, she has helped us immeasurably.
