Brilliant guy, he’s helped a lot and is very personable. Thanks Del, appreciate it a lot

Derek has taken me out of my downward spiral almost immediately. I felt instant positive changes in my mood after the first session itself. I wish I had approached Derek sooner. My Generalized Anxiety Disorder coupled with my Adhd symptoms are more manageable now.
Derek has been very supportive - firm but in a very nice way so that I am able to action my goals gradually.
I would highly recommend Derek.

I’ve had 2 sessions with Del, he is exactly what I’m looking for, I guess I got lucky with him being my first experience with therapy. He is calm and makes you feel totally comfortable. He helps nudge you in the right direction when you’re not sure, he is great!

Top job. Excellent.
Written on Dec 21, 2024 after therapy with Derek for 2 weeks on issues concerning stress, anxiety, relationship issues, intimacy-related issues, sleeping disorders, self esteem, and bipolar disorder
Derek has a great capacity to push me to look below the surface and detect effective ways to change my narrative. I made more progress with him in 6 months than in years of psycho analysis.
Written on Dec 02, 2024 after therapy with Derek for 5 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship issues, intimacy-related issues, and self esteem
I've had only a few sessions with Derek so far (2-3), but even in this short time, he's made a really positive impact. He quickly made me feel comfortable and understood, which is so important when starting therapy. His ability to listen carefully and provide insightful feedback has already helped me see things from new perspectives.
Despite the limited number of sessions, I already feel more confident in navigating my challenges, and I'm excited to continue working with him. If you're looking for a therapist who is empathetic, thoughtful, and easy to talk to, I highly recommend Derek.

Derek has been fantastic from the start. I feel listened to, respected and well guided. Thought-provoking questions are asked and kind words are sent via text message. Overall he feels like an unbiased and trustworthy friend. I’d definitely recommend Derek and getting help through BetterHelp.

A great man. Respectful and understanding. He's helped me address some issues I was running from for a long time and given me a chance to get where I want to be. It's not easy and he deserves alot of credit
