Tracey Lynne Desjardins , NCPS

Tracey Lynne Desjardins is an emotional therapeutic counsellor and Highly Sensitive Personality (HSP) coach who brings an international outlook to her work. Originally from Canada, she has lived and travelled widely, and those experiences inform a compassionate, broad-minded approach to counselling. Tracey retrained as a Therapeutic Counsellor in 2020 after a career in the Criminal Justice sector, where she worked in a range of practitioner roles with particular focus on relationship difficulties, addiction, and sexualised behaviours.

Her practice draws on the Inner Child model to help people identify and work through emotional blocks that limit wellbeing and progress. Tracey integrates an understanding of human behaviour with emotional therapeutic techniques to support clients in uncovering how early experiences shaped their current responses, and in developing new patterns that align with their goals. She volunteers with Cruse Bereavement Services, which has deepened her experience supporting people through grief and loss.

Tracey has a particular interest in working with survivors of domestic abuse and those coping with anxiety, depression, self-esteem struggles, trauma, and the challenges associated with high sensitivity or empathic traits. She holds NCPS, a professional counselling credential, and practices from the United Kingdom. Therapy with Tracey may address concerns such as addiction, relationship and family issues, parenting, eating and sleeping difficulties, bipolar and mood concerns, ADHD, and wider life transitions. She is accepting clients and works with people internationally, offering an approach that blends emotional insight with practical steps toward change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Tracey works integrativey with approaches that emphasize emotional connection and self-awareness. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people and couples identify and reshape patterns in emotional responses and attachment, making it useful for relationship difficulties, trauma responses, and deep-seated hurt. Client-Centered Therapy centers the client s experience, offering a nonjudgmental environment where personal goals and self-directed growth guide the pace of work; this approach is especially helpful for self-esteem, anxiety, and processing life changes. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance of thoughts and feelings, offering practical strategies for stress, anxiety, and managing intense emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Tracey collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques over time so therapy remains responsive and practical. Licensed professionals often blend approaches to create a tailored plan that supports both insight and change.

Online therapy with Tracey is available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care across locations and life transitions while allowing sessions to fit into busy routines.
