Derrick’s approach to psychotherapy is a person-centred, integrated way of practising mind/body health with a holistic sense that’s grounded by science. “My approach is dynamic, in that we will work together to discover what will work best in finding solace and long term solutions.” Integrative and person-centered means Derrick will draw upon his extensive knowledge of psychology & psychotherapy to develop an evidence-based program that supports the client as a person, not as just someone with a diagnosis or condition. We are all different with complex lives, and therapy is about working within those conditions to provide support and long term solutions.

Derrick has spent over 10 years in college both studying and teaching subjects in psychology, behaviour, cognitive science and critical thinking at UC Berkeley and UC Dublin. During this time, Derrick also trained and taught yoga, qi gong, and somatic movement education. Derrick is fully trained and registered with the Psychological Society of Ireland (PSI) - Ireland’s only professional psychological body. Derrick’s credentials are also in line incoming CORU regulations, which is set to regulate counseling & psychotherapy in Ireland in the coming years.

What are Dietitian Consultations? 

A dietetic consultation is for anyone who feels that they have a poor relationship with food, or are simply struggling with creating a positive, mindful relationship to their body and diet. This includes an in-depth review of your current and previous diet and food-related problems with your weight and medical history. Education and advice will then be provided which will support you in setting realistic and sustainable goals. Zoë takes a holistic approach, not solely focusing on nutrition but helping clients manage some of the broader issues like stress, exercise, and sleep through the use of yoga tools such as meditation, breathing practices and physical asana postures.
