Psychologist & Mentor

Tracey is a psychologist based on the Gold Coast, Australia. Tracey has a PhD in Clinical Psychology with over 20 years’ experience in the field of psychotherapy, training and clinical supervision.

Tracey is an advanced trainer and supervisor in Schema Therapy with the ISST, after completing the International Schema Therapy Certification Program with Dr. Jeffrey Young and Wendy Behary in New York in 2011. Over the past 15 years, Tracey has run training and professional development workshops across Australia for other practitioners interested in using Schema healing in their therapy approach.

Tracey now works solely with other health professionals who want to cultivate their own individual wellbeing by embracing self-empowerment, confidence, joy, love, inner peace and relationship harmony in their lives. She is especially passionate about helping burnt-out practitioners to make radical changes to how they approach their career in the helping profession, and embrace a life of balance, abundance and joy. Tracey provides mentoring to practitioners who want to discover their niche, introduce schema coaching into their practice and find fresh, innovative ways of supporting their clients to thrive.

The majority of Tracey's clients are other practitioners who have been working in the mental health field for many years and sometimes decades, and are feeling drained or exhausted at the time they reach out. This is often due to not specifying their ideal work conditions (eg. hours, fee, clinic environment etc), niche or passion early on in their career, and find themselves working outside their ideal niche area, in environments that are not in alignment with their own temparement/values, or just generally pushing themselves beyond the limitations of their own nervous system. Tracey's 1:1 mentoring is ideal for therapists and practitioners who have a passion for Schema Therapy, and want coaching and mentoring on how to get clarity on their own personal and energetic boundaries, identify their "niche area", and attract clients who are most suited to their particular skills, insights and wisdom. The common goal that Tracey's clients all bring to the table is a desire for their work to feel energising and expansive, and no longer be living in a state of chronic stress or pressure.

Tracey works 2 - 3 days a week to allow her plenty of time for family, paddle boarding, yin yoga and reading.
