Tracey
Hypnotherapist, trainer and Supervisor.
HPD, DHyp, CHyp, CNLP, MNCH (Acc.) BA Hons (in Art - SUPER USEFUL)
A full time hypnotherapist trained in counselling, hypnosis, hypnotherapy and NLP (Neuro-linguistic Programming) Tracey has been in practice for the last decade. Originally with locations throughout London including Harley Street she has now settled in practice, south of the river, in Balham. (2 minutes form the tube or a 20 minute cycle ride from town…downhill).
5 years ago I felt completely lost and I was deeply unhappy in all areas of my life. I did a quick google search out of desperation and found Tracey. I didn’t know or even think it possible back then, but with Tracey’s help I have completely changed my life. Tracey will humbly tell you I did the work- but I could not have done it without her.
From our very first interaction (a phone call I still remember in which I sobbed all the way through) Tracey continues to create a peaceful, sacred and special place for me to explore everything I feel. I return to Tracey over and over when a wave comes up that I’m not sure how to surf.
Tracey makes me feel seen, encourages me to truly be honest with myself, and champions and challenges me in equal measure. Tracey is warm, and her wicked sense of humour help keeps me real. She has a very unique talent for finding practical tools and homework that really resonate with me personally to take real action to make change in my life. Tracey is truly all about empowerment and the most marvellous thing she has done is to make me feel powerful.

The boring bit; Qualifications.
Tracey became Chairman of the National Council for Hypnotherapy (NCH) in 2016, a role she feels passionate about; setting and upholding standards in the Hypnotherapy profession. She also trains and assesses students of hypnotherapy to the Diploma standard of the National Council of Further Education (NCFE).
Tracey abides by The National Council for Hypnotherapy CECP (Code of conduct and ethical performance), with a full insurance for practice and a current Enhanced DBS.
Tracey also has further certified qualifications in Life Coaching and Counselling (Person Centred counselling, and then trained to level 4, Psychodynamic Counselling). She also has a practitioner certificate in Integrated Eye Movement Therapy (IEMT) – a branch of NLP work, where she has specialised in weight loss. She believes that ongoing study is an essential aspect of being a therapist and coaching and listening are vital tools to give a rounded approach to Hypnotherapy- which is more than just a magic pill.
She also has a specialist interest in creativity to alleviate trauma and has a certificate in Person Centred Art Therapy Skills, which she can use with clients to analyse alternative ways of reaching their subconscious self.
Tracey is also a trained solution focussed Supervisor for fellow hyp
notherapists and students of hypnotherapy alike; to be the best they can be- something she is very passionate about within her profession. Hypnotherapists like other talking therapy practitioners can gain incredible insight to themselves as a therapist and the way they practice. This will of course, enhance and increase the therapy potential for the client.
It is always important to make sure when you are looking for a Hypnotherapist that you find someone who:
-
Trained to NOS standards for training- basic training (they didn’t do a course online and call themselves a Hypnotherapist/ Counsellor (you can, you know).
-
Is affiliated to a Professional Body (without insurance to practice and training standards, Jo Blogs cannot join a PA).
-
Attends regular supervision sessions and CPD (continual professional development) courses (this makes sure your Hypnotherapist doesn’t get stale and refreshes their skills or lost in their own self glory, Supervision keeps things real).
-
Feels ‘right’ for you, if at any point your spidey senses think, this is not for me, listen to them, chances are, that person isn’t for you.
Passions
Throughout her life Tracey’s passion has been with communication and the ways in which we communicate; both verbally and non-verbally, the differing ways in which we can so easily be affected by our environment and the people around us. Tracey considers that it is all too easy to think, “Is it me?” when actually when you look at the life evidence around you …very much of it isn’t. However, just thinking that it may be you when everything around you is rubbish, is enough to say, “Sort it out, this isn’t me! So.... What can I do about it?”
Of course (despite all her studies and researches) her greatest learning came with her two sons; a learning that changes daily with regular new and interesting challenges, that only loved ones can present!
Finally, Tracey's personal goal was always to learn to ride a motorbike- something she had wanted to do from her teens, but never had the chance, but now her boys are older and more self-sufficient, she finally had the chance to tick that goal off in 2014 (20+ years later) You can be never too late with a goal and if she can learn to ride a motorbike at 43, anything is possible! Never give up on your dreams!
Testimonials
I worked with Tracy for about three months, and from the very beginning, we connected easily. She has a warm presence and a great sense of humor, which made me feel comfortable right away.
We met weekly, and during that time, she helped me uncover some deep and meaningful insights about myself. It wasn’t always easy, looking into the past was challenging, but her support made all the difference.
After some time to reflect and rest, I can honestly say that working with Tracy has been life-changing. Her guidance helped me make sense of things I’d been carrying for a long time, and I’m incredibly grateful for that.
Tracey changed my life - everything that had previously seemed impossible not only became possible, but became a reality. I came to Tracey with anxiety issues centering around travelling on public transport and being out of the house alone for certain lengths of time. Commuting to work for 40 minutes was a stressful experience, but fast forward to now and I have just returned from a solo, 3-month backpacking trip on the other side of the world. My confidence has increased, my anxiety has reduced and I am so grateful for Tracey's continued help and support. This was my first experience with hypnotherapy and it has been very effective for me - it's all about finding whatever works for you and I'm so glad I did!
I felt stuck and frustrated with my life when I found Tracy. I was looking for counselling to find out why was my marriage was so tense and why I had been having difficulties with getting pregnant: why I just felt out of place in general. Tracy is a highly intelligent and very intuitive listener. I felt safe from the first time we spoke on the phone. She really knows how to help you move along the path of self discovery. Tracy helped me find the way out of old patterns and analyse situations in a healthy and constructive way. She is a rare find among practitioners.
And within couple of months I was pregnant with my son, who is now six weeks old:)
Tracey is one of the best therapists I’ve ever seen.
She sees the world in 10D, sometimes I feel as if Tracey knows what I am coming to talk to her about before I walk through the door and knows my problem before I've even figured it out myself.
She acknowledges and recognizes your problems calmly, and helps you to work through them in an explorative way that isn’t pushy but guides you to the solution in a way you feel comfortable, and you can relax in her company.
I always come away from my sessions with Tracey feeling lighter and with life making more sense, less stress and I am able to see my issues from multiple angles with less confusion and grey area.
She’s also good fun and has a great way about her and sense of humour. She's super smart, super emotionally aware and is the best at what she does. I really appreciate all of Traceys help, she'd had a big impact on my life and I greatly value her company, opinion and mentorship.
Tracey has been endlessly supportive and encouraging throughout the last year, offering a safe space for reflection and analysis. She goes above and beyond, sharing readings and further exploration relevant to my issues. Also just a great lass. Couldn’t recommend her enough!
