Therapeutic Counselling

With Liz McDermott

Liz McDermott

Hello, I’m Liz McDermott, a Therapeutic Counsellor based in Derby. I offer a warm, supportive, and non-judgemental space where you can feel safe, heard, and understood as you navigate what is going on in your life.

I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), and I have experience working with both young people and adults across a variety of settings, including a sexual assault and rape charity, as well as schools and colleges. These experiences have shaped my trauma-informed approach, allowing me to support clients with sensitivity, care, and understanding.

My approach is honest, accepting, and centred around building trust. I work at your pace, giving you the space to explore your thoughts and feelings in a way that feels right for you, without pressure or judgement.
