Tracey Lynne Desjardins, NCPS

Tracey Lynne Desjardins offers a calm, practical presence for people facing strong emotions and life changes. She greets clients with patience and aims to help them find clearer thinking and steadier feelings. Tracey is named in the entry and uses her counselling experience to guide sessions simply and directly.

She trained as a Therapeutic Counsellor in 2020 and has four years of practice since that retraining. Her background includes work in the criminal justice sector and volunteering with Cruse Bereavement Services, which shaped her understanding of grief, loss and trauma. Tracey also describes herself as an Emotional Therapeutic Counsellor and a Highly Sensitive Personality coach.

In sessions she draws on the Inner Child model to look at where difficult thoughts and behaviours began. That work is combined with client-centred listening, emotion-focused methods and mindfulness tools to help people notice patterns and try new responses. Motivational interviewing and psychodynamic ideas also inform her practice when useful.

Tracey lists a wide range of concerns she supports, including addiction, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, bereavement, trauma, self-esteem and compassion fatigue. She also notes interest in domestic abuse, highly sensitive traits and sexualised behaviour issues from earlier roles.

She works in English and accepts international clients from the United Kingdom. Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time; costs vary with location and therapist availability. To begin, people choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

How Tracey’s approaches can work online

Tracey uses client-centred work to prioritise the person's experience and choices. That means the counsellor listens closely, reflects what they hear and helps the person steer sessions toward what matters most. This style suits people who need space to be heard and to find their own solutions.

She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas to help identify and name feelings and patterns in close relationships. That work aims to reduce painful cycles and improve how someone connects with others. Mindfulness techniques are used as short, practical exercises to notice thoughts and ease anxiety or stress in everyday moments.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Tracey will discuss different methods with each person and agree together which ones to try based on goals and preferences. The first sessions often focus on understanding immediate needs and testing what helps.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins, or offer choices around using video or audio depending on what suits the person. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt these approaches to suit practical needs and schedules.
