I am available for supervision Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm, in person in Barnsley, online or by telephone. I do not work at weekends.
About me and my therapy practice
I offer supervision to qualified counsellors and to trainees. I'm a Registered Member of the BACP (45587) and an Accredited Registrant with the NCPS (NCS20-00911), and I've been in practice as a counsellor for 16 years.
I hold a Diploma in Supervision from the Leeds Centre for Psychological Development. My own training is integrative, and I draw on CBT and person-centred counselling. I'm happy to supervise counsellors who work in other ways.
Supervision with me is a place to think through your client work, your caseload and how the work is affecting you. I aim to be supportive and clear, and I'll say so when I think something needs a closer look.
Practice description
Sessions are 90 minutes and cost £75, paid by card or bank transfer before each session. Most supervisees come once a month. We can meet in person in Barnsley, online or by telephone.
We can use the time for case discussion, ethical questions, boundaries, safeguarding concerns, endings, and looking after yourself in the work. If you are a trainee, we can also work with your course requirements and placement.
I see supervisees in private rooms within the South Yorkshire Physiotherapy Centre on Day Street, Barnsley, with free parking. I work within the BACP Ethical Framework and have my own regular supervision.
My first session
The first session is 90 minutes and costs the same as any other, £75. We'll talk about your work setting, your caseload, how you like to use supervision and what you want from it. We'll agree how often to meet and how to contact me between sessions if something urgent comes up. You are welcome to bring a client case to the first session.

About me and my therapy practice
I'm Tracy Simpson, a counsellor based in Barnsley. I've been in practice for 16 years and work with adults and couples, in person, by video and by telephone.
People come to me with anxiety, low mood, stress and burnout, grief and loss, relationship difficulties, and the pressures that come with adult ADHD. I also work with gambling and its effect on families. From 2014 to 2020 I spent six years as an associate counsellor with Krysallis, a GamCare partner agency, delivering GamCare-funded gambling addiction counselling.
I trained in integrative counselling at Leeds University, which means I draw on more than one approach, including CBT and person-centred counselling, depending on what suits you. With anxiety, low mood and stress, that often means CBT: looking at the patterns in how you think, feel and act, and trying small changes. Where the difficulty has longer roots, we take more time to understand where it comes from.
I offer relationship counselling for couples, and for individuals working through a relationship issue, a separation or a divorce. I won't take sides or tell you whether to stay together.
Counselling isn't a medical treatment or a quick fix, and I can't promise an outcome. I can offer a calm, confidential space and an honest conversation about what might help.
I see people in private counselling rooms within the South Yorkshire Physiotherapy Centre on Day Street, Barnsley, a town-centre location with free parking. Individual sessions are £70 and couples sessions are £90, both 50 minutes.
I'm a Registered Member of the BACP (45587) and an Accredited Registrant with the NCPS (NCS20-00911).
Practice description
Sessions are 50 minutes, usually weekly or fortnightly. There is no fixed number. Some people find a handful of sessions is enough, and others come for longer. You can stop when it feels right.
I work in person in Barnsley, by video and by telephone, Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm. My rooms are within the South Yorkshire Physiotherapy Centre on Day Street, a discreet town-centre location with free parking.
Individual counselling is £70 a session. Couples counselling is £90 a session. Workplace counselling is £80 a session. Payment is by card or bank transfer before each session, and I ask for 48 hours' notice to cancel.
I accept referrals from Bupa and Aviva. If you are using health insurance, please contact your insurer first to check your cover and get authorisation.
What you tell me is confidential, within the limits I explain before we begin. I work within the BACP Ethical Framework and have regular supervision.
You can book a free 10-minute telephone call, or a first session, through my website. The call is optional.
My first session
Before a first session you are welcome to book a free 10-minute telephone call. It is a chance to ask how I work and to check that counselling with me is the right kind of help. The call is optional, and you can book a first session directly.
The first session costs the same as any other: £70 for individuals and £90 for couples, for 50 minutes.
It is a conversation about what has brought you and what you would like to be different. I will ask some questions about your life now and a little about your background. There are no forms or tests to complete in the session, and you can say as much or as little as you want.
Before we begin I will explain confidentiality and its limits, and we will go through the counselling agreement. At the end we will agree whether to carry on and how often to meet.
