Derek Bayne

Derek Bayne believes that everyone deserves to embody their genuine self—a unique and wonderful expression of their values and beliefs. He understands that any self-image that deviates from this can lead to feelings of anxiety, depression, anger, stress, confusion, and exhaustion. Life, in his perspective, should not be experienced through a lens of questionable worth. While he recognizes the challenge of prioritizing one's true self, he affirms that this endeavor is well-deserved.

Derek employs an existential approach to therapy, which examines past experiences to uncover the belief systems formed through former choices. This method is aimed at fostering higher self-awareness that individuals can leverage to pursue their future aspirations with freedom and confidence.

In Derek's work, counseling is seen as an interactive relationship where individuals have the opportunity to regain confidence and respect for themselves. He creates a space where personal values are honored and integrated, leading to a fulfilling life. Through the therapeutic relationship he cultivates, Derek aspires to connect with clients' authentic selves and support them in enhancing their lives by freely expressing their beliefs and values.
