Hello, I'm Traci,
I’m an integrative therapist who is BACP registered, which means I work within an ethical framework, designed to work within your best interests.
You've taken the first step! The decision to participate in therapy is a decision to live a more satisfying life and I am here to help you see how that would look if you choose me to work with you.
As well as holding space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings, this may include reflecting on years gone by. You may think, "well what's the point as its already happened", but working with me in this way we may find the roots of what may be troubling you in the here and now.
Once we feel satisfied we've uncovered things, maybe long forgotten, I’m able to help with finding new - healthier coping mechanisms to arm you for the day to day grind of life, helping you understand yourself and gain acceptance and kindness where before there may have been judgement. Perhaps you feel stuck in a rut, unhappy in a relationship or at work, have suffered a loss, or maybe you just feel a little lost in life right now - let me help you find your way again.
I specialise in empowering people find their voice, understand and set boundaries and determine their self worth. Together we will work on how to find who you are and how you fit into this world, using a combination of techniques and theories.
I have 5 years of professional work experience. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.
please be aware -If you work with me, we aim for a session weekly for the Therapeutic change to take place.. Therapy is a process and we build on knowledge weekly.

Traci has truly been my rock. We met when I was at my lowest, and she’s been by my side ever since. Working with her has made me feel so seen and motivated to become a better version of myself. She’s incredible, and I’m endlessly grateful for her.

Traci and I have been working together for several months now and have formed a great relationship. I am truly open and honest with Traci because she has created a warm and safe environment for me to do so. Traci is extremely knowledgeable in the field and I value her expertise and input so very much. In the short time we have worked together I have noticed a shift in the way I think and feel about areas that have long caused me distress and for that I am truly grateful. I highly recommend Traci.

I’ve been having regular back and forth discussions with Traci Lawler. I feel that she listens well and has grasped the dynamics that surround me quite quickly. I really do appreciate having someone simply asking me how I am. Also recognising how to evaluate my circumstances and learning how to look at things from various perspectives.
It’s been good interaction so far.

Still early days but I feel very comfortable talking to Traci and truly listened to. I'm also getting a very valuable insight and advice. Traci is slowly giving me long lost hope, thank you!

Just started with Traci, and already can see the change in how I perceive my own self.
