About Tracey

Tracey Lynne Desjardins works with people facing anxiety, grief, addiction and trauma. She is Tracey, an Emotional Therapeutic Counsellor with NCPS after retraining in 2020. She combines straightforward conversation with gentle techniques so people can start to feel more in control of day-to-day life.

Tracey draws on earlier roles in the criminal justice sector to inform her understanding of behaviour. That experience helped shape her focus on relationship difficulties, addiction and sexualised behaviours.

Background and approach

She also volunteers for Cruse Bereavement Services and supports people through loss and bereavement. Her way of working uses the Inner Child model to look at where thoughts and habits began. Sessions aim to make those patterns clearer and to practise different responses.

Many clients use this work to reduce panic, ease negative thinking and rebuild confidence. She also uses client-centred and emotionally-focused approaches to improve how people communicate and relate to others. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are offered when people want practical steps to manage stress or make life changes.

Tracey tailors the mix of methods to each person’s needs. Tracey has four years' experience since qualifying and offers sessions in English. She works with people on issues including depression, bipolar, self-esteem, parenting strain, chronic pain and compassion fatigue.

International clients can also be seen, with online options available for different formats. To begin clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions. Cost varies with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches and online work that fit your life

Tracey uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people understand and work through the effects of past harm. This approach focuses on how traumatic events have shaped feelings and reactions and offers ways to reduce distress and manage triggers.

She also uses Client-Centred Therapy which centres the session on the person's experience. The counsellor listens without judgement and helps the person find their own answers and move at their own pace.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is used when relationship patterns and attachment needs are the focus. EFT helps people notice emotional responses, speak about them more clearly and practise different ways of connecting with others.

Deciding which approach to use is a joint process. The therapist will work with the person to identify goals, try methods that suit their needs, and adjust the plan as progress is made. That collaborative stance helps tailor work to what actually helps.

Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video lets people see facial cues and use exercises that need visual contact. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and messaging suit shorter updates, written reflection or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments.
