Tracey Lynne Desjardins , NCPS

Tracey Lynne Desjardins is an emotional therapeutic counsellor based in the United Kingdom who brings a global perspective to her work. Originally from Canada, she has lived and travelled widely, and those experiences inform a compassionate, culturally aware approach to supporting clients. She retrained as a Therapeutic Counsellor in 2020 and holds NCPS, a professional counselling credential, which underpins her clinical practice.

Before shifting into counselling, she worked in the Criminal Justice sector in a range of practitioner roles, developing particular expertise with relationship difficulties, addiction, and sexualised behaviours. That background contributes to a practical understanding of human behaviour and the ways early experiences shape later responses. Tracey integrates the Inner Child model into her emotional therapeutic work to help clients identify and tend to the childhood roots of recurring patterns and beliefs.

Tracey volunteers with Cruse Bereavement Services, giving her direct experience supporting people through loss and bereavement. She works with a wide range of presenting issues, and has a focused interest in supporting survivors of domestic abuse, people living with anxiety and depression, those struggling with self-esteem, trauma, and individuals who identify as highly sensitive or empathic. Her style is gentle and exploratory, helping clients uncover emotional blocks, understand how coping strategies developed, and build new pathways toward wellbeing.

Tracey offers tailored emotional therapy that encourages clients to explore where difficult thoughts and behaviours began, learn new communication methods for relationships, and develop steps toward meaningful change. She accepts new clients and works with people across different locations, supporting recovery and growth with empathy and clinical insight.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Tracey draws on client-centered therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client leads the pace and focus of sessions. This approach emphasizes listening and empathy and is useful for people seeking deeper self-understanding, improved self-esteem, and support through life changes.

She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to help clients and couples identify and work through patterns of attachment and emotional responses. EFT can be especially helpful for relationship difficulties, intimacy concerns, and trauma-related emotional cycles.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Tracey works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences. Together they explore what feels most helpful and adjust techniques as work progresses.

Online therapy with Tracey is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexible options that suit different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access consistent support from wherever a client is located and allow sessions to be adapted to individual circumstances and communication styles.
