Find Support and Emotional Clarity with Therapeutic Counselling by Liz McDermott in Derby
As life becomes busier and pressures mount, it is easy to feel overwhelmed, anxious, or uncertain about where to turn. If you are dealing with stress, relationship challenges, grief, or simply feeling disconnected from yourself, having a safe space to talk can make a meaningful difference.
At Ora – The Wellbeing Company, Liz McDermott provides therapeutic counselling from The Old Surgery in Mackworth, Derby. Her trauma-informed, person-centred approach supports children, young people, and adults to explore thoughts and feelings in a safe, confidential environment. Liz’s focus is on helping you feel heard, understood, and empowered throughout your counselling journey.
What Therapeutic Counselling Offers and Who It Helps
Therapeutic counselling provides a private, non-judgemental space to discuss what’s on your mind. Unlike quick-fix solutions, it offers time and support to work through emotions, experiences, and challenges at your own pace.
Liz works with a wide range of clients, including:
Children aged 11 and above
Young people and young adults
Adults navigating personal or professional challenges
Trainee and newly qualified counsellors
Education professionals seeking clinical supervision
Clients typically seek support for:
Anxiety, stress, and emotional overwhelm
Low mood or depression
Self-harm or intrusive thoughts
Relationship or family difficulties
Identity, gender, or sexuality exploration
Low confidence and self-esteem
Trauma, grief, and major life transitions
School, exam, or academic pressures
You do not need a clear reason or goal to begin counselling—clients are welcome exactly as they are, with whatever they are carrying.
