Tracy Baker-Lawrence is a leading Australian personality expert and relationship psychologist, and a certified Enneagram practitioner. She has worked with the Enneagram as a therapist with individuals and couples for over 20 years. She trained extensively in the Enneagram, in Australia and the USA, and presented at the International Enneagram conference in 2018 on The Ethical application of the Enneagram. She is a professional member of the Internal Enneagram Association and the Enneagram Collaborative Global, where she is presenting in June.
Over the two decades Tracy has facilitated live panels, and conducted over 3000 clinical typing interviews, codifying peoples body language and behaviour to hone her skills in determining accurately, and working with, each client’s personality developmental pathway (PDP). She also spent 4 years working towards a PhD to provide evidence of the Enneagram’s clinical efficacy in therapy and created a relationship matrix explaining predictable differences between people in their neurobiology, beliefs, attention, core needs and reactions.
As she is passionate about early intervention, Tracy founded The Insight Agency, an agency for change and a Business for Good, 4 years ago. Since then she has been researching and working with couples, married up to 40 years & at the point of separation, to determine what they could have known and done differently early in their relationship that would have prevented the hurt they were now experiencing. Every time 3 primary risk factors were determined and these have been converted into protective factors that underlie her methodology.
So, based upon her clinical knowledge, neuroscience and the best research on thriving relationships, Tracy developed a unique therapeutic ‘ATTUNED’ relationship methodology, “Your Couple D.N.A” Method, to understand partner’s unique Dynamics based on their Neurobiology and Attention. The method deepens partners accurate understanding of one another, by discovering partner’s unconscious core motivations, blind spots, early wounds and needs and how these interact, in a way that builds compassion and intimacy. This method has been tested with 100s of couples and having prevented many marriages from separation and divorce, is now offered as a pre marriage Program, Australia’s first divorce prevention program that can predict and prevent misunderstandings and challenges and future proof love.
Tracy also trains psychologists in the Enneagram, runs women’s workshops on “The Alchemy of Love”, does webinars and inner retreats, has written a 60 page eBook and is writing a book to be published in 2025 for couples on “Discovering their Couple D.N.A”.
