Tracy Mendis

I work daytime and evenings from midday Tuesday until Friday evening. Session availability will depend on whether the preference is for on-line or face to face sessions.

Hurting? Unhappy? Confused? Need to talk to someone you can trust? I am a professionally trained and qualified counsellor. I offer a safe place where you can be truly heard - not judged or told what to do. I work in whatever way is best for you and most appropriate to the circumstances that you are dealing with. Whatever you are facing - you don't have to do it alone. Together, we can find your way forward. 

Daytime & evening available. Sessions can be face to face or on-line.

I have over 25 years experience in counselling & psychology and have worked in the UK & NZ. I work with adults & teenagers. I enjoy working with counselling students and I am a former tutor. I am also a qualified supervisor.

I have experience working in many areas - including anxiety, depression, trauma, attachment, relationship difficulties, low self esteem & confidence, loss, bereavement and a wide range of eating issues . As a result of my own difficult journey with food, weight and body image, I have a real passion for helping people who are struggling in similar areas.

I offer a free, initial half hour session so that you have the opportunity to decide if I am the person you would like to work with.

I generally have availability for supervision sessions during the day - in particular on Tuesdays and Friday mornings.

I am an integrative/person-centred counsellor and supervisor with over 25 years experience in counselling & psychology and have worked in the UK and NZ. I work with adults and young people and have 12 years of experience working in a secondary school. I am also a former counselling tutor.

My specialities are disordered eating and a variety of self image issues. I am trauma informed and often work with clients who are neurodivergent. I also have experience working in many other areas - including anxiety, depression, attachment, relationship difficulties, lack of confidence, loss, bereavement and stress. 

I very much believe that the relationship is key in both counselling and supervision and I seek to provide a safe and supportive environment that allows and encourages your growth as a practitioner. I see supervision as being collaborative and as an integrative practitioner I seek to work in whatever way is best for you and most appropriate to your practice and level of experience/training.

Although the nature of our work is that we often work alone - supportive and collaborative supervision means you don't have to feel alone.

I offer a free initial session of 30 minutes so that we can talk through together what you are looking for in a supervisor and you can have an opportunity to see if we might be 'a good fit'.
