Life isn’t always straightforward, and there are times when it can feel difficult to cope with everything you’re facing. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties, stress at work, trauma, bereavement or simply feeling overwhelmed, seeking professional support can be the first step towards feeling more in control.
At My Solution Wellbeing, we offer professional counselling in Derby for adults, children, young people and couples. Our experienced therapists provide a welcoming, confidential space where you can speak openly without fear of judgement, allowing you to explore your thoughts and emotions at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
Every client has their own experiences, challenges and goals. That’s why we don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. Instead, we carefully match you with a counsellor whose skills and therapeutic approach best meet your individual needs, helping you build resilience, improve emotional wellbeing and develop practical strategies that support lasting positive change.
Conveniently located in Derby city centre, we also offer online counselling for clients throughout Derbyshire, making it easier to access professional mental health support wherever you are.
Counselling is a collaborative process that helps you better understand your thoughts, feelings and behaviours while providing practical support during difficult periods of your life. Working with a qualified counsellor gives you the opportunity to explore personal challenges in a confidential environment where you can speak honestly and openly without feeling criticised or pressured.
Many people choose counselling when they’re experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, grief, trauma, family difficulties or relationship problems. Others seek therapy because they want to improve self-confidence, manage major life changes or develop healthier ways of responding to situations that repeatedly affect their emotional wellbeing.
Rather than offering advice or telling you what decisions to make, counselling focuses on helping you gain greater self-awareness, recognise unhelpful patterns and develop strategies that allow you to move forward with confidence. The therapeutic process is tailored to your individual circumstances, ensuring that the support you receive reflects your unique experiences and personal goals.
At My Solution Wellbeing, our Derby therapists use a range of evidence-based counselling approaches, selecting techniques that are appropriate for your needs. Whether you’re looking for short-term support to overcome a specific challenge or longer-term therapy to explore more complex issues, our aim is to help you achieve meaningful, lasting improvements in your mental and emotional wellbeing.

Find quick answers to common questions about our services, appointments, and support options.
The cost of counselling depends on the type of appointment and service you require. Our fees are clearly displayed on our website, and we’re happy to discuss the most suitable option for your needs before you book your first session.
No. You can contact My Solution Wellbeing directly to arrange an appointment. While some clients are referred by their GP or another healthcare professional, many people choose to self-refer and access support without a referral.
Your first appointment is an opportunity to discuss what’s been happening in your life, the challenges you’re facing and what you hope to achieve through counselling. Your therapist will explain how sessions work, answer any questions you may have and begin creating a personalised therapeutic approach based on your individual needs.
Yes. Alongside appointments at our Derby practice, we also provide secure online counselling sessions. This gives you the flexibility to access professional support from home or another private location if attending in person isn’t convenient.
Our therapists support individuals experiencing a wide range of emotional and psychological challenges, including anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, bereavement, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, workplace pressures, family concerns and major life changes.
Our Derby counselling practice regularly supports clients from across Derby city centre and surrounding areas including Mickleover, Littleover, Allestree, Chaddesden, Oakwood, Spondon, Borrowash, Chellaston, Duffield, Belper, Long Eaton and many other parts of Derbyshire. Online appointments are also available.
We’ll take the time to understand your circumstances before recommending the therapist whose experience, specialisms and therapeutic approach are best suited to your individual needs. Our aim is to ensure you feel comfortable and supported from your very first appointment.
Yes. Confidentiality is one of the foundations of effective counselling. Everything discussed during your sessions is treated with the highest level of professionalism and confidentiality, except in the rare situations where legal or safeguarding responsibilities apply. Your therapist will explain these at the beginning of your counselling journey.
At My Solution Wellbeing, we understand that every client has different experiences, personalities and goals. For that reason, we don’t believe in delivering therapy using a single method for everyone. Instead, our Derby counsellors use a range of recognised therapeutic approaches, selecting the techniques most appropriate for your individual circumstances.
Our focus is always on providing therapy that feels supportive, effective and tailored to your needs, helping you gain a better understanding of yourself while developing practical ways to improve your emotional wellbeing.
Person-centred counselling provides a safe, accepting environment where you can speak openly about your experiences without fear of criticism or judgement. Rather than directing the conversation, your therapist encourages you to explore the thoughts and feelings that are most important to you.
This approach is built on the belief that every individual has the capacity for growth and positive change when given the right support. By developing greater self-awareness and understanding, many clients find themselves better equipped to make confident decisions, improve relationships and overcome personal challenges.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a practical, evidence-based approach that examines the relationship between your thoughts, emotions and behaviours. Unhelpful thinking patterns can often influence how we react to everyday situations, contributing to anxiety, stress, depression and reduced confidence.
CBT helps identify these patterns while introducing realistic strategies that encourage healthier ways of thinking and responding. The techniques learned during therapy can often be applied in everyday life, making CBT particularly effective for clients looking to develop long-term coping skills.
Our past experiences can have a lasting influence on how we see ourselves, interact with others and respond emotionally to different situations. Psychodynamic therapy explores these deeper patterns, helping you understand how previous experiences may continue to affect your life today.
Developing this insight often enables people to recognise recurring behaviours, improve emotional awareness and create healthier relationships moving forward.
Many of our therapists use an integrative approach, combining different counselling models to create therapy that reflects your individual needs. Rather than relying on one fixed technique, sessions can adapt as your circumstances and goals evolve.
This flexible approach allows therapy to remain personalised throughout your journey, ensuring the support you receive continues to reflect what is most beneficial for you.
Seeking counselling is a positive investment in your emotional wellbeing. While every therapeutic journey is different, our counsellors share the same commitment to providing professional guidance, compassionate support and a confidential environment where meaningful change can take place.
Feeling comfortable with your counsellor is essential for effective therapy. Every session takes place within a private, respectful setting where you can discuss your experiences openly, knowing your confidentiality is protected.
This supportive environment allows you to explore sensitive issues at your own pace while building trust with your therapist throughout the counselling process.
One of the most valuable aspects of counselling is having someone who genuinely listens without judgement. Our therapists take time to understand your experiences, perspectives and concerns before helping you explore the issues affecting your wellbeing.
Being heard in a safe, supportive environment often helps people gain greater clarity, recognise patterns and begin making positive changes in their lives.
Counselling is about more than simply talking through problems. Your therapist will work collaboratively with you to develop practical coping strategies that can be used outside of your sessions, helping you manage stress, regulate emotions, improve communication and respond more confidently to future challenges.
The aim is to equip you with skills that continue supporting your wellbeing long after therapy has ended.
Our goal is not simply to help you through your current difficulties but to support lasting personal development. As therapy progresses, many clients report improved confidence, stronger relationships, greater emotional resilience and a clearer understanding of themselves.
By combining professional expertise with a personalised approach, we help you build the foundations for long-term emotional wellbeing and positive change.
Although our counselling practice is based in Derby city centre, we regularly support clients from across Derby and the wider Derbyshire area. Our convenient location, together with online counselling appointments, allows us to provide professional therapy for individuals, couples, children and families throughout the region.

Life presents challenges that can sometimes feel too difficult to manage alone. Seeking counselling isn’t a sign of weakness—it’s a positive step towards understanding your thoughts, improving your emotional wellbeing and finding healthier ways to cope with life’s difficulties. Many people begin therapy because they want support through a specific situation, while others simply want to better understand themselves and make lasting positive changes.
Below are some of the most common reasons people choose counselling at My Solution Wellbeing in Derby.
Occasional anxiety is a normal part of life, but when constant worry, racing thoughts or feelings of panic begin affecting your daily routine, professional support can make a significant difference.
Our Derby counsellors work with clients experiencing general anxiety, social anxiety, panic attacks, health anxiety and excessive worrying. Together, we’ll help you understand the underlying causes of your anxiety while developing practical strategies to manage symptoms more confidently.
Modern life places increasing demands on our time and energy. Work pressures, family responsibilities, financial concerns and major life events can all contribute to chronic stress.
If you’re feeling emotionally exhausted, struggling to switch off or finding everyday responsibilities increasingly difficult to manage, counselling can help you identify the causes of your stress and develop healthier coping mechanisms before burnout begins affecting your overall wellbeing.
Depression affects everyone differently. You may feel persistently sad, emotionally numb, lose interest in activities you once enjoyed or struggle with motivation and self-confidence.
Therapy provides a supportive environment where you can openly explore these experiences while working towards understanding the factors contributing to your depression. With the right support, many people gradually regain confidence, rebuild resilience and reconnect with the things that matter most.
Traumatic experiences can continue affecting emotional wellbeing long after the event itself has passed. Whether you’ve experienced childhood trauma, abuse, bereavement, accidents or other distressing situations, counselling provides a safe space to process those experiences at a pace that’s right for you.
Our therapists use evidence-based approaches to help reduce the emotional impact of trauma while supporting long-term healing and recovery.
Healthy relationships require communication, trust and understanding, but conflicts can arise for many different reasons. Whether you’re experiencing difficulties with a partner, family member or close friend, counselling offers an opportunity to better understand these relationships and develop healthier ways of communicating.
Relationship counselling can also help couples strengthen their connection, resolve conflict and navigate significant life changes together.
Losing someone important can affect every aspect of life. Everyone experiences grief differently, and there is no right or wrong way to process loss.
Counselling offers compassionate support while you work through difficult emotions, helping you understand your grief, adjust to change and gradually move forward at your own pace.
Not everyone comes to counselling because of a mental health condition. Many people simply want to improve self-confidence, manage life transitions, develop healthier relationships or gain a better understanding of themselves.
Therapy provides an opportunity to reflect, learn and grow, helping you build emotional resilience that supports every area of your life.
We take pride in the trust our clients place in us. Here’s what they have to say about their experience and our commitment to quality.
