Testimonials

Counselling, CBT, EMDR and Hypnotherapy, all have their place in successful therapy.

Different therapies for different people.

Here are some of the examples of how I’ve used different therapeutic approaches, tailored to the individual, for successful therapy.

Derek is a brilliant therapist. His use of EDMR allowed me to explore my trauma and recognise and address the irrationality of my thinking. He provided me with techniques that I now use daily to help stay on track. Plus, I always left our sessions with a spring in my step. Go see him!

Even though I was a health professional, I was finding it hard to go back to work after a previous toxic work environment had got on top of me.  Derek was able to remove the dread I felt at starting a new job and I was able to put my previous bad experiences behind me and enjoy my work again.

I was experiencing chronic pain from a shoulder injury which was causing me sleep problems and generally impacting my life. Derek’s hypnotherapy session, dramatically reduced my pain perception.

As a former Law Enforcement Officer for over 20 years, I was diagnosed with PTSD and was using alcohol to self-medicate to cope. I found myself bouncing around from one therapist to another until I found Derek,

For the first time, I received help to deal with the symptoms and the severe emotional distresses that I was enduring.

I recommend Derek to any person who is seeking help with trauma and associated substance abuse. The help I received with EMDR therapy saved my life.

Derek provided a safe and professionally trusting environment to help me with my life changing therapy.
