About Tracey
Tracey Lynne Desjardins makes space for people who are overwhelmed or stuck. She offers calm, practical support for worries about anxiety, depression, addictions and relationship pain. Tracey listens closely and helps people notice patterns that get in the way of daily life.
Tracey trained as a therapeutic counsellor in 2020 and holds NCPS. She draws on several ways of working to meet someone where they are rather than following one strict method.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on understanding feelings, recognising learned responses, and practising small changes that make life easier. Her background includes work in the criminal justice sector, where she dealt with addiction, relationship difficulties and sexualised behaviours. That experience informs a steady, non-judgemental approach when people bring difficult histories or complex behaviour into sessions.
Tracey also volunteers with Cruse Bereavement Services and has particular experience supporting grief and loss. She helps people process bereavement, separation and other major life changes through compassionate listening and paced emotional work. Her practice pays attention to attachment and early experience, including inner child themes.
Techniques are practical and grounded - helping people manage panic, improve communication, cope with stress, and build healthier self-esteem. Sessions are suitable for people navigating trauma, eating or sleeping difficulties, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, ADHD, bipolar and mood concerns. Tracey helps clients identify clear next steps and supports them as they try out change in everyday life.

Online support
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify core feelings and patterns in relationships and attachments. It is helpful for intimacy issues, communication problems and working through responses rooted in early experience.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Tracey will discuss different ways of working and decide with the client which methods match their goals, needs and preferences. This collaborative process is revisited as progress is made.
Online formats make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let the therapist and client read facial cues and work in real time. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is a concern, and live chat or text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options increase flexibility for ongoing sessions, practical check-ins and paced therapeutic homework, while letting clients choose what works best for them.
