Tracey Sheehy

Welcome to my page.  I am a qualified Supervisor with availability.  please contact me if you're training to be a therapist, recently qualified or have been in practice along time.  I can offer concession rates for trainees. I really enjoy working with therapists and helping you gain skills, grow in self awareness and enjoy working alongside you supporting with ethical dilemmas and safeguarding issues that you may encounter in your private practice. Private practice can feel extremely isolating at times.  

I am available in the evenings and weekends from 4.30pm. I can be flexible around times in the evenings. I can work on-line and face to face. 

I supervise therapists working from both CBT and person - centred modalities. I have a level 5 diploma in CBT and really enjoy teaching and supporting trainee therapists in this modality.

I trained to be a supervisor using the seven eyed model and proctors model of clinical supervision.  

Working from Proctors model, I like to check in with all my supervisees at the beginning their session from a restorative stance of self care.  This helps to build authenticity and transparency in our relationship. A place of safety. 

During our work together I encourage exploration of the relationship between client and therapist, I use questions such as, tell me about what happened in the client session, how the client came to therapy, we may explore your internal dialogue to identify judgements, expectations or self doubt. 

We can explore interventions already used and I always encourage a brain storming exercise such as 'say whatever comes into your head', lets include the wildest options you can invent.  this exercise really helps to break down the potential power balance of supervisor and therapist. 

We will complete a contract together covering the below. 

I will begin by getting to understand you and your ways of working.  This is important in the modality you work from. I use some reflective questions to identify your strengths and where perhaps you may like some support in growth, together we can set goals with an agreed regular review. 

I provide a supportive environment where there is opportunities for personal growth and development such as challenging relationships  and exploring material you bring in a safe environment. 

I promote an open and honest relationship between us where giving and receiving feedback is encouraged. 

I will work to the ethical framework as set out by your professional body

I will bring attention and support to ethical dilemmas and challenges. 

together in the contracting we agree regular reflective and review dates. 

It is my own lived experience that sparked my fascination with mental health, in my early life seeing a family member go through severe emotional difficulties and later on my own recovery from domestic abuse and associated loss of confidence.

In 2015 I began training as a counsellor and launched my private therapy practice SheehyTherapy in 2018 and day to day I work with adult clients online, face to face and in agency settings. 

Since launching my practice I have built a solid client base founded largely on reputation.  I primarily work in arears of trauma, anxiety and depression and relationship issues, applying an integrated approach, intertwining person-centred therapy and CBT according to the clients individual needs. 

I qualified as a clinical supervisor in 2024. I work with qualified therapists working in agencies and private practice.  I am very passionate about this work, providing a forum for therapists to review their practice with safety and ethics as guilding principles. 

I am a reflective, self-aware therapist and supervisor who proactively keeps abreast of developments in the area of psychological therapy and prioritises CPD.
