Availability @ January 2026

Monday afternoon/evening

Wednesday afternoon/evening

Weekly and fortnightly sessions available.

I provide daytime and evening, face to face and online counselling sessions to both adults and young people (age 16+), and whether you’re considering short-term or longer-term counselling, we can work together to decide what’s right for you. 

I am based in Havant and my room is close to rail and bus links with parking available nearby.

You will find me to be warm, welcoming and friendly and I will offer you a safe, confidential, supportive space to come and be heard without judgement. I believe that everyone has the potential for growth and the ability to make positive changes in their lives and I will sit alongside you, and support you, as you find your own way, helping you to explore and make sense of your world and experiences.

Ultimately, I see it as a huge privilege to sit and listen to someone as they tell me their story and allow me into their world, and would be very happy to speak with you if you choose to contact me.  

I specialise in working with clients with anxiety and am passionate about listening to their experience and helping them to explore what might be at the root of the anxiety, whilst also providing them with tools to manage their physical symptoms along with ways to challenge their overthinking/negative thoughts.

I have experience in dealing with a wide range of other issues, including depression, low self-esteem and self-confidence, stress, grief, relationship issues, family issues, body image, anger management and work related issues.

In addition to working with clients privately I also work part-time with Aquilis Counselling, a service which provides counselling for the employees of Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust, at Queen Alexandra Hospital, supporting them with both work and personal issues.

 I adapt my counselling approach to suit the needs of the individual, for instance by integrating Cognitive Behavioural Therapy within my counselling, and I can help you to develop a “toolkit” of strategies and techniques to manage your mental health.  

I believe that the most important factor in counselling is the relationship between the client and the counsellor, and we can work together to build that relationship. 

Finding a counsellor who you feel comfortable working with is so important, which is why I offer a free, no obligation, 10-15 minute initial chat on the telephone. This gives me the opportunity to gather some details from you and for you to ask any questions you may have for me. If you decide you would like to proceed then this is followed by a 50 minute face to face initial consultation which gives us a chance to get to know each other a little and decide whether we feel we would like to work together. 

Please just call or text me on 07746 157591, or email me on admin@tracyancellcounselling.com

I aim to respond to all enquiries within 24 hours and look forward to speaking with you.
