Derri presents herself as a compassionate counsellor who listens and responds to each person’s needs.
Derri uses a tailored approach in sessions. She works with people on problems such as depression, coping with change, grief, compassion fatigue and addictions.
She also supports clients facing relationship concerns, intimacy issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger and career stresses. <brHer practice includes work around more specific difficulties such as obsessive thoughts, jealousy, infidelity, phobias, bipolar symptoms, postpartum depression and seasonal affective disorder.
Background and approach

Derri is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which she lists as BACP. She has four years of experience working in the UK and offers sessions in English.
Her style is to adapt sessions to what each person needs rather than using one set method for everyone.

She aims to help clients take the next step toward clearer thinking and better day-to-day routines.
The first meeting focuses on what is most pressing and how to move forward together.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Many people benefit from techniques that help them notice unhelpful thoughts and change small behaviours that make daily life harder. One approach focuses on identifying negative thinking patterns and testing them against real experience to reduce anxiety and low mood. Another approach concentrates on building practical coping skills and routines for sleep, eating and managing urges, which can be helpful for addictions and seasonal mood shifts.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss different methods during early sessions and adapt tools to fit the client's goals, preferences and current circumstances. Together they will set short-term aims and review progress regularly to find what works best.
Online therapy offers flexibility and easier access to regular support. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation from different locations. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit those who prefer typing or brief, on-the-go contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to maintain continuity between appointments.
