Tracey’s therapeutic style is warm, direct and intuitive. She believes in creating a balance of nurturance and validation of difficult emotions, as well as gentle challenging and shifting of habits, behaviours and belief systems that are sabotaging growth and wellbeing. This is done through Schema Therapy techniques such as limited reparenting, imagery rescripting, chair dialogues between different parts of the self, empty chair dialogues with loved ones, body-based techniques and postures, and generating new narratives that support positive schema development and healthy relationships.

Tracey completed a PhD in Clinical Psychology at Griffith University in 2005, and in 2011 was accepted into the International Certification Program for Schema Therapy in New York with the developer of Schema Therapy, Dr. Jeffrey Young. She became one of the first accredited trainers in Schema Therapy in Australia, and provided workshops all over Australia as well as internationally online since 2012.  In 2015, Tracey was the lead organiser in inviting Dr. Scott Kellogg from New York to run his Transformational Chairwork training across several cities in Australia, and she continues to use and teach chairwork techniques in her approach to healing and emotional wellbeing in her supervision, 1:1 coaching and workshops.

For the past 7 years, Tracey has been busy developing novel ways of teaching schema coaching as a framework for personal development, and facilitating workshops and programs that focus on positive wellbeing outcomes and positive emotional states that clients are seeking when they engage in therapy or coaching.

Tracey is a mum of two teenage girls, and is in a loving relationship with her partner of 12 years. She enjoys travelling, bush walks, paddle boarding, going to the gym, seeing her friends, house music, and learning about cryptocurrency. She is passionate about helping people turn inwards to find their hidden strengths and resources. Tracey is available for 1:1 therapy and schema coaching, mentoring and professional supervision, and in-house training.
