Tracy Avis

I've worked in mental health services (NHS and private practice) for over 20 years and I'm an experienced and accredited Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist.  My approach offers you a safe and compassionate space where we can work together towards resolving your problems and difficulties.  I know that each person is different - every individual has a unique past and experiences, with a diverse range of factors that contribute to their current difficulties.  I'll encourage you to be involved in your treatment throughout and will provide a supportive environment where you can take on the challenges and reap the benefits of therapy.

I have trained in a variety of approaches (see "Therapies" page for more information), and we can discuss and explore some ways of working that are most likely to help and suit you.  I believe that as well as using a solid evidence based theoretical approach, the relationship between you and your therapist is an important component of therapy - a relationship you feel safe, listened to and understood.   

I work with adults (18 years and onwards) - both individuals and couples, and can work with other family members if this would be beneficial.
