New counselling service in Harrogate welcomes clients

Friday, 14 November 2025 08:48

Tracy Ward Counselling is a newly formed counselling service.

A newly established counselling service has launched in Harrogate, offering support both locally and across the UK.

Tracy Ward Counselling has been set up by lifelong local Tracy Ward, providing one-to-one sessions for adults aged 18 and over.

The service offers face-to-face appointments in Harrogate as well as online sessions nationwide.

Tracy is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and holds a Level 7 Postgraduate Diploma in Humanistic Counselling from York St John University.

She has worked with clients experiencing a range of challenges, including bereavement, relationship issues and anxiety.

Tracy’s approach focuses on self-development in the ‘here and now’, aiming to create a supportive and trustworthy space for clients to explore their concerns and work towards personal insight and growth.

She offers a free 15-minute phone call for those interested in finding out more about counselling and whether it may be right for them. Sessions cost £65 for one hour and are available Monday to Friday.

Tracy Ward said:

“You may feel that you need support or that you have lost your peace - I want you to know that I am here for you."

She added:

“Before training as a counsellor, I worked in various roles over the years but was left feeling like I wanted more from life. I wanted a role where I could support others in their time of need and have a genuinely positive impact.

"My dream of running my own counselling practice is a blessing and I can truly say that it is a privilege to work with so many clients from all walks of life.”

More information is available by contacting 07344 146694, emailing tracy@tracywardcounselling.com or visiting www.tracywardcounselling.com.
