My name is Reena Purewal. I work with adults on a one to one basis, and with couples, offering a safe and none-judgmental space.
I frequently work with childhood/developmental traumas, loss and grief, anxiety, depression including peri-natal, cultural issues, as well as, relationship difficulties.
When working one to one, I offer online sessions and in-room sessions in the Derbyshire area. With couples, I offer in-room sessions only.
If you do not consider yourself tech 'savvy', be assured the platform I use to do online work is easy to use and I will offer support in navigating it if needed.
Reaching out can feel daunting. As someone who has experienced personal therapy, I know the feeling well.
Some people come into the process with a specific goal in mind. Others do not know what is bothering them exactly or what they want to change, knowing they no longer want to feel how they are. Either place is ok to start from.

Reaching out can feel daunting. As someone who has experienced personal therapy, I know the feeling well.
Some people come into the process with a specific goal in mind. Others do not know what is bothering them exactly or what they want to change, knowing they no longer want to feel how they are. Either place is ok to start from.
I offer a free initial assessment; with one to one clients this is upto twenty minutes, and with couples this is upto half an hour. This enables me to get a summary of your current circumstances and needs, and for you to get a sense of whether I am the sort of person you want to work with.
All enquiries are welcome.
In one to one work, I offer counselling and psychotherapy. Counselling tends to be a shorter-term process, focused on problem-solving around a specific issue, such as at work or in a relationship. Psychotherapy is a longer-term process which involves going backwards to go forwards. Primarily by exploring childhood experiences, the meanings you made of these, and how these thoughts, feelings and behaviors are limiting you in the here and now.
In couples work, I can help you improve communication and gain a better understanding of yourselves and each other to navigate difficult and confusing patterns of behaviour that keep happening between you. For couples that are uncertain about the future of their relationship, counselling can help to gain clarity, and if the decision is made to separate, it can offer a chance to be amicable. This can be hugely beneficial to all, including children.
Generally speaking, my approach is to play an active part; where I ask questions, reflect, share theory and
challenge where relevant. You are also required to be active in your change process.
Which type of work you access will depend on our mutual agreement of how we will work together. We will regularly review our work, assess your progress and look at how we are relating to each other.
I am a qualified and compassionate psychotherapist, and an integrative and attachment focused couples counsellor. I have a wealth of experience, including developed by my several years practicing as a social worker with people in very difficult situations. I am currently running my own private therapy and counselling practice. I have been an affiliate with bereavement charity '2 Wish Upon A Star', and a handful of employers in offering their employment assistance programme.
Q: What will happen during the telephone consultation?
A: I will ask you questions, including
-What has led you to making contact with me?
-What your present health is like
-What is it you want to get out of the experience?
This is also a chance for you to ask me anything you need to; about me, the approach I use, and/or the therapy experience.
There are a few possible outcomes after the consultation; either we decide we are not well suited to work together and for you to try someone else, or we continue and you book a session with me.
Thereafter, my fees are £55 for a sixty minute 1:1 session, or £70 for a seventy five minute couples session.
Q: What will be done with my information?
A: I understand the information you share is personal and highly sensitive. I take reasonable steps to ensure adequate levels of safety and security are in place with the storage of all my records. Further information about this will be provided during our first session.
