Tracy Murtagh
Counsellor, MBACP Accred

After my first assessment I will work closely with my client to decide on the best form of therapy for them and decide the way forward together. I have had a passion for helping others my entire life and began counselling in 2010. My own past has only served to deepen my desire to help as I can deeply empathise with those who need it most. I believe that no one should suffer in silence and I work hard to try and guide clients to their own answers. When someone feels lost they then become confused and this is a very lonely place to be. I base my work on clearing the mist and helping clients find the answers.

That feeling that follows you from when you get up in the morning, and never leaves. Which gradually grew from a passing "uncomfortable" feeling to an overwhelming sense of dread, anxiousness, sadness, tearfulness, or even anger. This is where I was in 2008, until I finally found the courage to go to my GP, and seek support from a counsellor. Furthermore this is what inspired me to become a mental health counsellor. Its important for you to understand that you are never alone, no matter how much it feels that way. Your emotional well-being is the most crucial part of you, and you can get through this.

"A New DAWN Counselling Service"
Counsellor, BACP
Verified
I believe it is impossible to "have the ideal Client", as my experience has shown me we really don't know where the story is going until you build up the connection and confidence between you and your client. I always focus on making the clients feel that they are in a safe place and that this place is for them. It is also important that the client and I are open and honest with each other, in order to avoid any misunderstanding between you and the client with regards to their needs and the best course of therapy that is required. I have found that the more ownership and input the client has during the sessions the better outcome,
