About Tracey
Tracey Lynne Desjardins works with people seeking help for anxiety, depression, grief and relationship struggles. She is a counsellor who uses emotion-focused ways of working to help clients notice and name strong feelings. Tracey practises in the United Kingdom and communicates in English.
Her style is calm and straightforward. She draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy, client-centred techniques and mindfulness to help people understand where patterns began. Sessions are aimed at bringing clarity to difficult thoughts and building small, manageable steps forward.
Background and approach
Tracey completed her retraining as a therapeutic counsellor in 2020 and holds the NCPS credential. Before retraining she worked in the criminal justice sector, which shaped her understanding of behaviour and risk. She also volunteers with a bereavement charity and has practical experience supporting people through loss.
Her practice pays attention to inner child work and how early experiences affect adult choices. She uses motivational interviewing and psychodynamic ideas to look at how beliefs were formed and how they can change. Techniques are explained in simple terms and adapted to each person’s situation.
People contact Tracey about addictions, trauma and abuse, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, compassion fatigue and attention difficulties. She also helps with intimacy concerns, self-esteem, anger and major life transitions. Work in sessions is collaborative and focused on making everyday life a little easier.

Online support
Emotion-focused care online and how it helps
Tracey draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify and sit with strong feelings so they lose some of their intensity. EFT aims to reveal how emotions shape patterns in relationships and personal choices, which can help with anxiety, grief and intimacy challenges.She also uses client-centred therapy, where the counsellor offers a non-judgemental, listening presence so clients lead the pace and focus of sessions. Mindfulness therapy is used alongside these approaches to teach simple attention and grounding practices that reduce reactivity and support calmer decision-making.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Tracey will work with each person to test what fits, adapt techniques and decide together on goals and steps. That collaborative tone helps people try small changes and notice what works.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video is best for face-to-face conversation, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, brief check-ins fit naturally into text or chat, and messaging is useful for ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, travel or caregiving commitments.
