Support when you're struggling

Whatever you're facing, you don't have to make sense of it on your own. Here are some of the things people come to talk about.

I'm Tracy Simpson, a Registered Member MBACP, and I offer counselling in Barnsley and online for a wide range of difficulties. You don't need a diagnosis or a crisis to talk to someone. Here are some of the areas people come to me about, each with more detail if you want it.

General support, any time

These are open to anyone, whatever's going on for you, whether or not you're also thinking about counselling.

Questions people ask

Can I still get in touch if I'm not sure which of these fits?

Yes. You don't need to work out which category you fit into first. The free call is exactly the place to figure that out together.

Do I need a diagnosis to come to counselling?

No. You don't need a diagnosis or a crisis to seek counselling support.

Is it confidential?

Yes, within the standard limits of confidentiality, which I'll explain before we begin.
