Derren Bailey

I am an approachable integrative counsellor/psychotherapist which means that I use various approaches to support and help facilitate change in those I work with. I have interests in mindfulness, Buddhism and yoga which also inform my practice.

I typically meet people weekly however this can change depending on your needs and preferences.

My approach is interactive, supportive and encouraging.

Everyone is different and I am interested in what will work for you as well as what you are hoping to gain from working together. Frequently this may involve exploring how past experiences may be affecting the present, making sense of events, connecting with emotions and processing experiences. The pace of this would be led by you.

Forming a good trusting relationship is important which can take time and is helped by creating an environment which is accepting, safe, warm and supportive.

Areas within which I may work include stress, bereavement, depression, and relationship issues. I also have a background in workplace psychology and coaching which means that I have a very good understanding of the stresses and challenges one may face working within organisations, with teams and other work-related pressures.

Rates: £50 on line, £60 face-to-face

The first time we meet will be about us getting to know each other and making sure that I can meet your needs. We would discuss why you are seeking help and this will be an opportunity for you to ask me any questions.
