Understand yourself. Change the unhelpful patterns. Restore connection
Therapy can provide a safe space to understand what's happening beneath the surface, helping you to explore how the experiences, relationships and ways of coping have shaped the person you are today.
Whatever you are going through at the moment, you do not have to face it alone.
I am here and ready to help.

My name is Reena Purewal. I am an experienced UKCP registered psychotherapist. I work with adults on a one-to-one basis, and with couples, providing both in-room sessions in Derby (Mickleover) and online.
I primarily work from the powerful therapeutic approach of Transactional Analysis (TA for short). TA helps understand how early experiences can shape the beliefs we develop about ourselves, others and the world, and how these beliefs can continue to influence our thoughts, feelings, behaviours and relationships in adult life, with ourself and others. I specialize in integrative and attachment-focused therapy for couples.
I am also an accredited breathwork coach and integrate mindfulness, including somatic resourcing practices.
My therapeutic work is informed by several years of experience as a social worker, where I supported people through complex and difficult circumstances.
I currently run my own private practice. I have also been affiliated with the bereavement charity '2 Wish Upon A Star', and have worked with several employers to offer their employment assistance programmes.

Getting started
Getting started
Reaching out for psychotherapy can feel daunting. As someone who has experienced personal therapy, I know this feeling well.
Some people come into the process with a specific goal in mind, while others may not be exactly sure what is bothering them or what they wish to change; they just know they no longer want to feel how they are. Eithe
Reaching out for psychotherapy can feel daunting. As someone who has experienced personal therapy, I know this feeling well.
Some people come into the process with a specific goal in mind, while others may not be exactly sure what is bothering them or what they wish to change; they just know they no longer want to feel how they are. Either is a perfectly fine place to start.
I offer a free initial consultation which allows me to understand your current circumstances and needs, while giving you a chance to see if I'm the right fit for you.
