I am Dr Tracy King, and I’m passionate about helping people heal, grow, and find balance in their lives. Whether you're struggling with trauma, relationships, neurodiversity, managing anxiety, coping with grief, or facing a major life transition, my goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where you can explore your challenges and work toward meaningful change.

My approach is integrative, blending science-backed therapies with holistic practices to ensure every aspect of your well-being is considered.

My approach is to develop personalised care for the whole Person: thoughts, feelings, the physical body and spiritual meaning (if this feels appropriate for you in whatever way that makes sense).   

My practice offers a broad range of traditional psychological therapies and psychometric assessment processes, along with holistic health practices.

Each client begins with a comprehensive in-depth assessment to determine whether a pure therapeutic approach or an integrative one is best suited to them.
 

I also offer regular group programmes designed to make therapy more accessible and affordable, providing a community-centered approach to healing.
 

Sessions are online or face to face, in my practices in

Polyvagal Theory as a Foundation

This approach ensures that each therapeutic modality I use, whether it's trauma-focused, body-based, cognitive, creative or spiritual, is grounded in helping clients build safety, resilience, and a deeper connection to their body’s natural wisdom.
