Chaddesden online therapy with James Harris
In Chaddesden and the wider Derby, the common thread for busy professionals and shift workers isn't the diagnosis — it is the exhaustion. That's the starting point of this page.
The physical clinic is in Derby city centre (DE1). Chaddesden sits 2 miles away in the DE21 district, close to Chaddesden Park, with easy access along the A52 Nottingham Road. Online is available to anyone in the UK.

The work draws on secure video sessions, online hypnotherapy, online EMDR (where appropriate) — chosen based on what your nervous system, your history, and your current life actually need. That flexibility is the point.
How the work is delivered
- Step 1
Consolidate the change
Change has to hold beyond the session. Self-hypnosis, a short practice or a home task keeps it embedded.
- Step 2
Bridge sessions with tools
You leave with practical tools so between-session weeks are worked, not wasted.
- Step 3
Start with regulation
Nothing is processed while your nervous system is dysregulated. Sessions begin with body-level tools that work the same day.
- Step 4
Review and adjust
Every few sessions we step back and check the direction — nothing is done to you without your say-so.
