Tracey Lee Coaching & Therapy

Life throws storms at us.... stress, grief, overwhelm, those “too much” days. Our instinct is often to fight the storm, to try and control every bolt of lightning.

But here’s the truth: storms aren’t meant to be controlled!

✨ Instead, focus on calming yourself. Breathe. Pause. Do the little things that bring you back to center. The storm will move on, just like every storm does.

You don’t have to fix it all right now. You just have to take care of you. 💛

If you’re finding your storm too heavy to face alone, I’d love to walk alongside you and help you find calm again. 🌿

💭 Have you ever wondered what hypnotherapy is really like?

There are so many myths and questions out there — Will I lose control? Does it work for everyone? What can it actually help with?

In this short video, I answer some of the most common questions I hear about hypnotherapy, so you can understand what it really is (and isn’t!).

🌱 Sometimes growth means letting go.

You don’t have to stay in situations, relationships, or habits that no longer feel right for you. Outgrowing something doesn’t mean you’ve failed, it means you’re evolving. 💜

In therapy, I often remind clients that it’s okay to change, to shift, and to step into a new version of yourself. You’re allowed to move forward, even if it feels scary at first.

✨ If you’re ready for support as you navigate your own growth and changes, I’m here to help. Let’s chat about how counselling or hypnotherapy could give you the tools and space you need.

😴✨ Ever find yourself lying in bed with a million thoughts racing through your head? That mental chatter is one of the biggest sleep stealers I see.

In my new short video, I share a quick technique called braindumping — a super simple way to clear the clutter from your mind before you go to sleep. 🖊️📓

It only takes a few minutes, but it can make a huge difference in how quickly you drift off.

👉 Watch the video here and try it tonight — your brain (and your sleep) will thank you! 💛

🌿 Radical Acceptance 🌿

Life doesn’t always go the way we want. Sometimes things happen that are unfair, painful, or completely outside our control. But fighting against reality often just adds more stress and frustration.

Radical acceptance doesn’t mean you like what happened or that you’re giving up. It means acknowledging: “This is where things are right now.” By doing that, you stop wasting energy on the “it shouldn’t be this way” loop and free up space to focus on what you can do next.

It’s a skill that takes practice and some days it feels way easier than others. But with time, it can reduce stress, ease emotional pain, and help you move forward.

💛 If you’re struggling with something in your life and finding it hard to accept, I’m here to help you work through it in a safe, supportive way.

💭 Not every thought or feeling needs a front-row seat in your mind.💭

Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is notice it… and let it drift by.

Whether it’s stress, someone else’s mood, or your own racing thoughts,you don’t have to take it all on.

It’s a skill, and like any skill, it gets easier the more you practice. 🌱

✨ What’s one thought today you’re choosing to observe instead of absorb?

💬 NEW BLOG POST 💬

https://www.traceyleecoaching.co.nz/post/social-media-and-self-esteem

Ever found yourself scrolling through Facebook, feeling fine one minute… then suddenly not so fine?

It’s sneaky. You see someone’s perfect holiday, flawless skin, dream job, and without meaning to, you start comparing.

I’ve been hearing this a lot lately from clients of all ages (teens, parents, professionals) and the impact on self-esteem can be huge.

So I’ve written a blog about it.

It’s not all bad news (social media can be a good thing), but there are some real risks if we don’t set boundaries.

In it, I cover:

👉How social media quietly shapes the way we see ourselves

👉What the research is showing about mental health impacts

👉Simple, doable ways to protect yourself (and your loved ones) from the worst of it

You deserve to feel good about yourself, on and off the screen. 💛

Social media has the power to connect and inspire, but it can also quietly chip away at self-esteem. Learn what the research says, how it affects all ages, and practical ways to protect your mental health online.

✨ You don’t have to carry it all on your own. ✨

Behind quiet smiles, so many people are feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or just… not quite themselves.

If asking for help feels awkward, scary, or unfamiliar, my latest blog post for you.

👉 Click here to read the full article: https://www.traceyleecoaching.co.nz/post/why-asking-for-help-matters

The blog covers:

💛 Why Asking for Help Matters

💛 Why it’s hard to reach out (and why you’re not alone)

💛 What asking for help can actually look like

💛 How early support can shift everything

💛 Gentle ways to take the first step (even if you don’t know what to say)

You are not a burden. You’re a human being with real needs,and you deserve to be supported, heard, and cared for.

Let this be your sign. You’re not alone.

Asking for help isn’t weakness, it’s the greatest sign of strength there is. This blog explores why reaching out matters, what holds us back, and how to take that first step toward real support.
