About Derri
Derri Canning welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to start. She helps those coping with stress, anxiety, low confidence and depression. She also supports people facing life changes, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and struggles with sleep or eating.
Derri works in a straightforward, respectful way. Sessions are tailored to what each person needs. She aims to help clients set small goals and build practical steps they can use between meetings.
How Derri works
With four years of professional experience, Derri has supported individuals with addiction-related concerns, attention difficulties, mood fluctuations such as bipolar symptoms, and compassion fatigue. She also focuses on more specific worries like infidelity, obsessive-compulsive patterns, phobias, paranoia and postpartum depression. Derri is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
She offers counselling in English to people based in the United Kingdom and to international clients. Sessions can be arranged as video calls, phone appointments, live chat or ongoing text-based messaging. Fees vary with location and the subscription model used by the service can be cancelled at any time.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist's availability.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches and online counselling options
Many people benefit from structured, evidence-based techniques that focus on thoughts, behaviours and practical coping skills. One common approach works on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing them with real-life experiments to reduce anxiety and low mood. This helps when worries or negative self-talk keep someone stuck. Another helpful method emphasises small behaviour changes and routine-building. It supports people with low motivation, depression, sleep problems and seasonal mood changes by creating manageable daily steps that gradually improve mood and functioning. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and then try methods that fit best. This is a collaborative process and approaches can be adjusted over time based on what helps most. Online sessions make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when people prefer to see their counsellor. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can suit shorter check-ins. Live chat and ongoing text-based messaging offer a written option for those who want to reflect in their own time. These formats aim to increase flexibility and accessibility while keeping the focus on practical progress.Start online instead of waiting
