About me

Personal Profile (Trauma-Enhanced Version):
Dr Tracy Lavis holds two doctorates and the unique distinction of dual HCPC registration in both Forensic and Counselling Psychology - an exceptional qualification held by very few UK practitioners. A trauma specialist with advanced training in EMDR (Europe Accredited), Prolonged Exposure Therapy, and trauma-focused CBT, she has particular expertise in complex PTSD and occupational trauma. With high-level security clearance, she works with professionals in positions requiring enhanced vetting. Based in central Worcester with a national practice, clients travel across the UK for both face-to-face and online sessions.
With 15+ years' experience, she provides evidence-based treatment using EMDR, CBT, ACT, clinical hypnotherapy, biofeedback, and neurofeedback. Known for her warm, straight-talking approach, she supports professionals including judges, lawyers, accountants, police, emergency services, and healthcare workers - creating a safe space where clients can process traumatic experiences and workplace trauma. She specialises in supporting high-functioning neurodiverse professionals and offers both intensive therapy and flexible monthly support sessions.
Additional services include medico-legal assessments, court reports, clinical supervision, and specialised workplace training including trauma-informed resilience building. She offers specific programmes for trauma-related sleep disorders and nightmares, particularly beneficial for shift workers and emergency services personnel dealing with critical incident exposure.
