Tracey Lynne Desjardins makes space for people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck or unsure how to move forward. She is Tracey, a counsellor with four years' experience who draws on emotional therapeutic work to help people name what is happening and take small steps toward change. She offers straightforward support for anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain and struggles with addiction or trauma.
Tracey uses simple, practical methods in sessions. She listens without judgement and helps people spot patterns that keep them feeling stuck.
Background and approach
That can mean looking at early life influences, identifying unhelpful thinking, or learning calming skills to manage intense feelings. Her background includes work in the criminal justice sector before retraining as a therapeutic counsellor in 2020. That experience shaped her understanding of behaviour and risk, and informs how she approaches sensitive topics such as domestic abuse and sexualised behaviours.
She volunteers with Cruse Bereavement Services and has experience supporting people through loss. In practice she blends client-centred ways of working with emotionally focused, psychodynamic and solution-focused ideas. She also uses mindfulness and motivational interviewing techniques to support change.
Sessions aim to be collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. Tracey works with a wide range of concerns including stress, trauma, self-esteem, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD, compassion fatigue and issues around intimacy and attachment. She holds the credential NCPS and offers counselling in English to people in the United Kingdom and internationally.
Approaches that fit into online therapy
Client-centred therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and experiences and helps people feel heard while they make choices about change. It is useful for issues like low self-esteem, stress and relationship worries.Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and shift patterns in close relationships and in how they manage strong emotions. It can be useful for intimacy concerns, attachment issues and processing loss.
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation, which can help with anxiety, sleep and stress management.
Finding the right approach happens together. The therapist will talk about the options and tailor methods to suit the person’s needs, goals and comfort. That collaborative process can include trying different techniques and checking what feels most helpful.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video lets people work face to face, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging suit quick check-ins or those who prefer writing. These options increase flexibility, making it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping continuity of care.
