About Tracy Simpson

I work in a calm, down-to-earth way, and I'll meet you where you are. My approach is integrative, which means I don't put everyone through the same method. The relationship between us is the foundation. I draw on ideas from different approaches, including psychodynamic thinking, and bring in more structured tools when they'll help.

Sometimes that means making sense of where a feeling comes from. Sometimes it means practical things you can try between sessions. We work out together what suits you.

From 2001 to 2006 I was a listening volunteer with Barnsley Samaritans, answering calls from people in distress.

I also offer counselling supervision in Barnsley for qualified counsellors.

How I work

Every person I see is different, and I tailor what I do to what you need. We usually begin with a free 10-minute call so you can ask questions and we can get a sense of whether working together feels right. There’s no pressure and no commitment required.

Sessions last 50 minutes in private counselling rooms within the South Yorkshire Physiotherapy Centre, Day Street, Barnsley (S70 1NW), or online by secure video. Available Monday to Friday, 09:00 to 18:00 (closed weekends).
