Tracey Barbe - Level 2 Tutor
I’m Tracey, an integrative counsellor and tutor based on the outskirts of North London. I draw on person-centred, psychodynamic and elements of CBT in my work because no two people are the same, and I don’t believe one approach fits everyone. I hold a BSc (Hons) in Therapeutic Counselling.
I work as a counsellor and safeguarding officer at a North London college, as well as running my own private practice. I currently teach CPCAB Level 2 Counselling students. Before becoming a counsellor, I worked as an English and EAL teacher at an international secondary school, so I bring a wealth of teaching experience into the room.
I aim to make learning clear, inclusive, encouraging and interactive.
I’m particularly interested in client work involving food noise, relationships with food, and intercultural approaches to counselling. I work in line with the BACP Ethical Framework and am an Accredited Registrant member of NCPS.
Outside of work, I enjoy dabbling in the performing arts and can play the steel drums.
