Therapeutic Counselling
with Liz McDermott
Hello, I’m Liz McDermott, a Therapeutic Counsellor and member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. I offer a warm, supportive space where you can feel safe, heard, and understood without judgement.
I qualified in 2021 with Derby Adult Learning Service and have since gained extensive experience working with both young people and adults. My background includes working within a sexual assault and rape charity, supporting both survivors and secondary survivors, which has shaped my trauma-informed approach. I have also worked in schools and colleges and currently support young people as a school counsellor in a large secondary school in Derby.
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.
