Hi, I’m Tracey
A trained coach, mentor and senior leader supporting people in midlife to navigate their own season of change
My story
In 2021 I burnt out.
I was juggling pandemic stress, perimenopause, undiagnosed ADHD, homeschooling and a new puppy – while holding down a demanding leadership role at a creative agency in London. I kept pushing through and ignored all the signs. Until I couldn't.
Stepping away from my role as Head of People & Culture was devastating. I'd worked incredibly hard to get there as a working-class woman from Newcastle, and that job had become a big part of my identity. Losing it felt like losing myself.
Working with a coach helped me untangle who I was from what I did. I questioned long-held beliefs, reconnected with my values, set some long-overdue boundaries and slowly rebuilt my confidence. I found more of myself than I'd lost.
That experience is why I do this work. I'm not coaching people through something I've read about in a book. I've lived the burnout, the identity crisis, the 'is this it?' moment. I know what it takes to come out the other side with more clarity, more energy and a life that actually fits. It’s also what led me to become a coach and support others navigating change in midlife.
— Supportive —
A confidential, non-judgmental space and support that is challenging yet compassionate.
— Inclusive —
Every story matters. Every journey is valid. And everyone is unique which is why I don't do one-size-fits-all.
— Curious —
Growth happens through curious questioning – especially the uncomfortable ones you've been avoiding.
— Straight-talking —
No jargon. No empty promises. Just real, authentic human conversation.
— Impactful —
Real change that lasts way beyond our sessions – not just a good chat.

These principles guide everything I do at Green Acer
Training & experience
I'm trained to ICF (International Coaching Federation) standards, the coaching profession's equivalent of a quality mark. It means you can trust that what happens in our sessions is grounded in evidence and ethics, not intuition and guesswork.
I also draw on years of experience in people leadership and career development as well as insights from psychology, neuroscience and wellbeing practices. But our conversations will stay human, practical, and grounded in your real life – not in theory.
A few personal things
Walking my two Pomsky dogs in whatever the British weather has decided to throw at us is the best part of my day.
I'm married to a Welshman, have two kids at university and we love to cook, travel and experience new cultures together.
As an OG raver, I still love a good dance and there's nothing like an old house tune coming on to produce an instant dopamine hit.
Pause. Reflect. Bloom.
