I offer counselling that’s all about you - your needs, your pace, and your goals. Life is full of challenges, whether it’s navigating emotional ups and downs, working through personal struggles, or making sense of the past. My aim is to help you explore these areas in a way that feels right for you, with tailored support every step of the way.
About Me
I’m Darrel, a fully qualified counsellor with a Level 5 Professional Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling (accredited by the Prince’s Trust). I’ve trained in psychodynamic, humanistic, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) - but what matters most is how that helps you.
In simple terms:
I can support you in understanding the past, dealing with what’s going on right now, and finding ways to move forward with more confidence and clarity.
My Approach
I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all therapy.
Everyone’s different, and your sessions should reflect that. Whether you’re…
Working through emotional pain or loss
Struggling with anxiety, stress or low mood
Feeling stuck and unsure where to turn next
Wanting space to explore things at your own pace
…we’ll work together in a way that suits you best.
I’ve had my own share of life’s ups and downs - grief, identity struggles, trauma and work stress - and I bring that real-life understanding into my work. My aim is always to create a safe, supportive space where you feel heard and never feel judged.

Read with my clients say!
I would like to thank Darrel for his kindness and support during the counselling sessions. When I first met Darrel I could barely speak about the trauma that was having negative impact on my life.
I cannot recommend Darrel highly enough. From the very first session, I felt truly heard and understood. The warmth, empathy, and compassion created a safe space where I could openly share my thoughts without fear
