About Derri
Derri Canning is a compassionate counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and major life changes. Derri aims to make the first step easier by offering respectful, sensitive support tailored to each person.
With four years of professional experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), Derri focuses on helping people set and reach practical goals. She pays attention to what matters most to each person and adjusts her approach to fit those needs.
Background and approach
Sessions are shaped around realistic steps and clear priorities. Derri also supports people dealing with relationship strains, grief, trauma and intimacy-related issues. She works with those facing addictions, sleep or eating difficulties, and career-related stress.
LGBT concerns are included among the areas she addresses. People bring a wide range of challenges, from obsessive behaviours and phobias to postpartum depression and seasonal mood shifts. Derri aims to break problems into manageable parts and offers steady guidance through change.
The focus is on practical strategies that can be used between sessions. Her style is collaborative and goal-oriented. Derri encourages open conversation about what is and isn’t working, and she adjusts plans as progress is made.
She supports international clients and conducts sessions in English.

How evidence-based methods translate to online counselling
Derri draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to structure sessions in a clear, practical way. One common approach involves setting concrete goals and using step-by-step strategies to reduce anxiety and improve mood; this helps when stress or low motivation are the main concerns. Another frequently used method focuses on building skills for managing difficult thoughts and behaviours, which can be useful for issues like obsessions, compulsions and addictions.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Derri will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and adapt methods accordingly. That collaborative process helps identify which techniques feel most useful and which to emphasise over time.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and offering flexible scheduling. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed, or sessions that avoid video if bandwidth or comfort is an issue.
