Derren Bailey

I currently have availability and see people Monday to Friday between 8.30 - 17.30. I try to be as flexible as possible, sessions are usually booked a week in advance and may take place weekly, fortnightly, or on a more ad hoc basis.

I am an Integrative Psychotherapist offering a warm, supportive space, both face-to-face and online, where you can safely explore your challenges and work towards meaningful change. My approach draws on a range of therapeutic methods to help you gain deeper insight into your experiences and discover new ways forward. 

I provide an interactive and encouraging environment, focusing on what matters most to you. Often, understanding how past experiences shape your present can be a powerful step in making sense of difficulties and building a stronger future. Exactly what we explore and how, would always be guided by your own pace and preferences.

I commonly support individuals dealing with:

• Relationship difficulties

• Anxiety and depression

• Work-related stress and burnout

• Emotional challenges 

• Life transitions and personal growth

Often, our past experiences shape how we feel and act in the present and exploring these connections is usually helpful, however, I understand that not everyone is ready to talk about their past, and some memories may remain unclear. I respect your pace and your boundaries: whether you want to focus on the present, the past, or both, therapy will always be guided by your readiness and comfort.

I have a Master's degree in Integrative Psychotherapy and I am currently studying advanced training in Transactional Analysis (TA). Transactional Analysis often helps to highlight patterns learnt from earlier in life and how these may be updated to provide more choice and autonomy. Our work together would be likely to also likely involve developing understanding and meaning around your experiences, as well as identifying what may be helpful to move forward. Outcomes often include deepening self-awareness, understanding your emotions and how they may be managed, and exploring more effective ways of relating to others.

Additionally, I bring over 20 years of experience in organisational psychology and coaching. This means I understand the unique stresses and challenges that arise in the workplace, and I can help you navigate professional pressures, transitions, and relationships.

I work to create a safe, warm, and accepting space where you can feel supported as you explore, grow, and make lasting change. Our work together moves at your pace, giving you time and space to process and heal.

Rates: £55 for 60mins

I understand that taking the step to start a therapeutic relationship with someone is an important one, which involves your time, energy, emotion and money. I therefore believe that before making this investment, it will be important for you to be as informed as possible, so that you can make the right decision about whether you would like to work with me.

After initial contact, I will arrange a time for us to have a telephone conversation which will be the opportunity to discuss what brings you to therapy, your expectations and your current situation. You will be able to ask questions and we will also discuss some practicalities, such as where and when we may meet.

Session length: 30 mins (Free)
