About Derri
BACP. 4 years' experience. Derri Canning is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who works with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and coping with life changes. She also helps people dealing with addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, trauma and abuse, grief, sleep and eating problems, and career concerns. Sessions are presented in plain terms and focus on practical steps and conversation rather than jargon.
Derri describes her way of working as flexible and person-centred. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address issues such as obsessive-compulsive patterns, paranoia, personality difficulties, postpartum depression and seasonal affective disorder. She supports people facing compassion fatigue and those exploring sexual health, LGBT matters, infidelity and jealousy. Practical coaching-style work is available alongside counselling for goal-focused concerns.
She aims to make sessions straightforward and goal oriented. Conversations cover thoughts, feelings and everyday behaviours, and she works with clients to try out manageable changes between sessions. Derri pays attention to pacing so people can work at a level that feels doable.
Derri accepts international clients and offers sessions in English. Fees vary by location and she operates through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients use the See online counselling options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
Clients often seek Derri for a mix of emotional and practical problems. Her four years of experience are applied to both short-term problem solving and longer term work. She keeps descriptions simple and focuses on what will help in everyday life.
Approaches used in remote counselling and how they help
Derri describes her work as drawing on evidence-based therapeutic techniques. One useful approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing them with small behavioural experiments; this can help with anxiety, low mood and obsessive thoughts. Another common technique looks at behaviours and routines and introduces gradual changes to sleep, eating and activity; this often helps with depression, seasonal affective disorder and some process addictions. Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences, and then try methods that fit the client's needs. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress is reviewed. The practical benefits of online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life. Confirm which session formats are available before booking, since the biography does not list specific options. Online work can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a busy day, and make it straightforward to continue therapy when relocating or working across time zones. Registered or accredited professionals including counsellors can adapt tools and homework to suit remote sessions, while keeping the focus on clear, manageable steps that apply to daily routines.Areas of expertise
