You are here because relationships and life for you have been an emotional and spiritual battle through your drained soul and body. Long-term narcissistic abuse, BPD, codependency and complex trauma have been a journey of living in survival mode. You are tired of suffering and not living better. You want better than this, and yes, you can have it. Many clients have told me they have been missing something from therapy after countless therapists - deep, soulful relationship healing and actionable steps that get into your heart of soul wounds, not just talk therapy and endlessly validating feelings. While we do this, we do so much more. Being in therapy with me is like experiencing the deep end of you with a professional best friend, shaman and prophetic healer in tune with your soul, body and spirit.
I will help you heal your complex trauma, navigate difficult relationships and guide you toward the reclamation of your soul, voice and power.
Evidence-based, integrative, holistic, complex trauma-informed DBT, mindfulness, Gestalt method and faith-based, I don't leave any part of you out of the equation - mind-body-soul-spirit healing. Where science, natural intelligence and God intersect. All parts of you deserve therapy at this deep level. If you're still reading and feel it, book a consultation with me. I look forward to connecting with you

Transformative Healing with Tracey: A Holistic, Trauma-Informed Journey to Your True Self
Welcome, I’m here to guide you on a deeply personal journey to heal, grow, and reclaim the truest parts of who you are. If you’re navigating the pain of narcissistic abuse, Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), codependency, or complex trauma, you might feel lost in patterns that keep you stuck—patterns you might not even see yet. My practice is all about illuminating those hidden dynamics in your relationships, helping you embrace radical acceptance, and letting go of what no longer serves you. Together, we’ll create a safe, soulful space where healing feels like truth—a bullseye for your heart and spirit.
A Holistic, Embodied Approach to Healing
What makes my practice unique is its complex trauma-informed, holistic foundation. I don’t just focus on your mind; we work on fully embodied healing that integrates your body, soul, and spirit. Whether you’re untangling the effects of narcissistic relationships, healing BPD dynamics, or rediscovering your sense of self, we’ll dive deep to uncover the patterns holding you back—like people-pleasing, self-doubt, toxic shame or emotional instability—and transform them into pathways to empowerment. Healing with me isn’t just mental; it’s a soulful, transformative process that helps you feel lighter, more wholehearted, and aligned with your true self.
My approach is intuitive and tailored to your unique story, but the core values remain constant: fostering emotional stability, healing relationship dynamics, and reclaiming your power, voice, self-trust, and autonomy. We’ll use embodied psychodynamic techniques to help you feel grounded in your body, ensuring that healing isn’t just something you think about—it’s something you feel and live. By practicing radical acceptance and letting go, we’ll release the weight of old wounds and create space for a reality-based, meaningful life.
What We’ll Work On Together
In our sessions, we’ll deepen your awareness of what’s going on within you and your relationships. Maybe you’re caught in a cycle of chasing approval, walking on eggshells, or feeling invalidated by gaslighting. Perhaps you’re struggling with attachment styles, unhealthy boundaries, or coping mechanisms that keep you from trusting yourself. Together, we’ll shine a light on these patterns—some you might not even realize are there—and approach them from an awakened, empowered perspective.
We’ll address your emotional needs through practical, effective tools like:
Illuminating Hidden Patterns: We’ll uncover the unconscious dynamics in your relationships, like trauma bonds, defensiveness or codependency, to help you understand yourself and others more clearly.
Radical Acceptance and Letting Go: By embracing what is and releasing what isn’t yours to carry, you’ll find freedom from resentment, guilt and feeling responsible for others
Embodied Healing: Through psychodynamic approaches, we’ll help you feel safe in your body, rebuild your gut instincts, and make confident decisions that honour your voice.
Healing Core Wounds: We’ll work on unmet emotional needs, survival mechanisms, and the effects of manipulation and gaslighting to restore your sense of self.
Building Self-Regulation: Through a co-recognition process, I’ll validate your thoughts and feelings, helping you trust yourself and develop stronger emotional stability.
Why My Practice Is Different
My practice is deeply holistic, weaving together soul, emotional, physical, and spiritual healing to bring you closer to your authentic self. I believe healing should feel like truth—a soulful bullseye that resonates in every part of you. Whether you’re recovering from narcissistic abuse, navigating BPD relationship challenges, or working through complex trauma, I’m here to hold space for all parts of you, no matter how complex your journey is, and actually understand it. If it aligns with your path, we can incorporate principles of Christianity and mindfulness to ground your healing in a spiritual, heart-centred way that is your true north.
I’ve walked alongside others who’ve felt the same weight of shame, self-doubt, isolation, or emotional chaos that you might be carrying. I know how hard it is to feel like you’ve lost your voice or your power, but I also know the beauty of reclaiming it. My approach is relatable, nonjudgmental, and rooted in the belief that you are enough—exactly as you are.
