About Derri
Derri Canning is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people work through stress, anxiety and depression. She works with people who struggle with low self-esteem, life changes, addiction and grief. Her manner is warm and compassionate and she aims to make the first step easier for anyone feeling stuck.
Derri uses straightforward, person-centred sessions that are shaped around each person’s needs. She listens without judgement and then helps clients set simple, practical goals.
Background and approach
Typical sessions focus on understanding what matters most to the client and trying small changes that build confidence over time. With four years of experience, Derri draws on a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address problems like panic, low mood, obsessive thoughts and relationship wounds. She also supports people facing burnout, compassion fatigue and issues connected to identity and sexuality.
Sessions include talking through patterns, developing coping strategies and practising new ways of responding to difficult feelings. Derri holds BACP, which stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She treats that membership as a sign of professional standards and ongoing development.
Her approach is collaborative - she works alongside each person to find what helps them most. People who choose Derri often want a practical, calm therapist who responds with sensitivity. She offers a non-blaming space to reflect and take gradual steps toward greater wellbeing.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Derri will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and together they will choose which methods to try. She adapts her plan as progress and feedback shape what works best for the individual.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone calls need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat or messaging suit quick check-ins, written reflection or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options help people access therapy around work, caring duties or travel constraints.
