Tracey Lynne Desjardins, NCPS

Tracey Lynne Desjardins is an Emotional Therapeutic Counsellor and Highly Sensitive Personality (HSP) coach who blends lived experience, broad life perspective, and professional training to support people through complex emotional issues. Originally from Canada, she has lived and travelled internationally, and brought that wider viewpoint into clinical practice after retraining as a therapeutic counsellor in 2020. She also holds the NCPS credential, which indicates completion of recognised professional training in counselling and practice standards.

Before qualifying, Tracey worked in the criminal justice sector in a range of practitioner roles, gaining particular experience with relationship difficulties, addiction, and sexualised behaviours. That background informs her practical and empathetic approach to therapy, especially when helping people affected by trauma, domestic abuse, or addictive patterns. She volunteers with Cruse Bereavement Services, which has deepened her understanding of grief and bereavement and shaped the support she offers to people navigating loss.

Tracey integrates the Inner Child model and emotional therapeutic techniques to help clients identify the origins of their patterns, address emotional blocks, and develop healthier ways of relating to themselves and others. She works with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, relationship and family issues, parenting challenges, self-esteem, PTSD and trauma, eating and sleeping difficulties, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Tracey welcomes international clients and offers flexible online options to match individual needs.

Approaches for emotional healing in online therapy

Tracey draws on client-centered therapy to create a warm, nonjudgmental environment where the client's perspective guides the work; this approach helps people build self-awareness, confidence, and clearer personal goals. She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to help individuals and couples explore underlying emotions and attachment needs, which can be especially useful for relationship difficulties, intimacy issues, and patterns of conflict. Mindfulness therapy is offered to teach present-focused awareness and simple practices that can reduce overwhelm and support coping with anxiety, stress, and mood fluctuations.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative process. Tracey will work together with each person to identify methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques as understanding deepens and progress is made.

Online therapy with Tracey is available by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy lives or connect across time zones. These flexible options support consistent work over time, allow for varied communication styles, and make emotional support accessible for people who may find in-person appointments difficult.
