I was going through a rough time two years ago after the death of my mother. I had gone to the doctor but the only thing he could do for me was put me on medication and I knew that I did not want that and what I really needed to do was just talk to someone.

I got Tracey’s phone number off a friend and just rang one day when I felt really bad with anxiety and panic, it was the first step and one of the best things I ever did. I had always faced my problems head on and was known to be a strong and capable person but I knew this was different and that I needed help.

I cried the whole of my first session; Tracey just listened and didn’t make me feel stupid or silly. All our sessions resulted in her helping me to look at my anxieties and to think in a more positive way. She guided me and helped me not to be so hard on myself. I was suffering from delayed grief and not loosing my mind as I thought at the beginning.

My family had their own grief to deal with, so the best thing for me was to go to a counsellor and I found the experience in some ways life changing. I would recommend Tracey Kelly for her empathy and kindness and her ability just to listen and not judge. I know I will face grief again at some future stage but I feel that what I have learned from Tracey will help and support me.
