Lizi | Integrative Psychotherapist - Couples & Individuals

Introduction

Hi, I’m Lizi, I am an integrative psychotherapeutic counsellor in Derby, offering a tailored approach that respects your unique experiences, history, and aspirations. I explore how past experiences influence the present, using a compassionate, evidence-based approach to foster understanding, self-compassion, and change. I seek to honour your personal identities, cultural backgrounds, and the complexity of your shared experiences, I can support you in exploring patterns with compassion and curiosity.

Through guided clarity, deeper understanding, and intentional dialogue, I help you move toward empowered choices, meaningful change, and a stronger, more connected relationship.

As a couples therapist, I help couples be heard, stay honest and rediscover hope.

Online therapy

For the most part I choose to work with clients in person. However, if that is not an option I would discuss the possibility of meeting online via zoom. However, there are important boundaries that need to be honoured when working together via zoom. We can talk these through if we decide to work together.

Qualifications and registrations

I am a developmentally based, relationship-focused (Integrative) therapeutic counsellor qualified to Post Graduate Diploma level (Level 7) and a registered member of BACP (MBACP: 411478). Additionally, I have a MSc (Level 7) in Psychology, with a research special interest in grief, bereavement and trauma.

To complete my 3 year PG Diploma I was required to complete;

· 120 hours of accredited personal therapy

· 300 hours of client therapy

· 80 hours of accredited supervision

Additionally, to maintain BACP registration I attend regular continual personal development, necessary to ensure that I am up to date with the latest research, insight and client interventions. This means that I am able to support you and all that you choose to bring to sessions.

I have experience working with men and women, aged 19 to 80! Unsurprisingly their reasons for coming into therapy are varied. Furthermore, through my client work I have engaged with the Ethnical non-monogamy community, including polyamorous clients and those with open marriages.

Specialisations and Expertises

tbh. Therapy & Counselling - Couples Therapy & Relationship Counselling

Do you need help communicating or having difficult conversations? Or support on how to truly hear, listen and reflect together.

Do you need to be heard and better understood? I can support you in exploring relational patterns with compassion and curiosity, honoring both your personal identiites and lived experience.

Do you need hope, with honest conversations and support being listened too and understood, healing and change can be achieved. Hope is the foundation of relational transformation.

If you are looking for support for a specific issue or problem I am more than happy to work on a short-term basis, usually a minimum of 6 sessions. However, I can also work open ended with couples. This sees us meet for fortnightly or monthly sessions, with regular reviews to ensure your relational therapeutic goals are being met.

Most common issues I support people with:

Couples come to therapy for many different reasons. Often, challenges that feel overwhelming or stuck can become opportunities for deeper understanding and growth when explored together in a supportive space.

Communication difficulties; frequent misunderstandings, escalation or break down

Loss of sexual intimacy or emotional connection

Parenting pressures and differing parenting styles

Consensual non-mongamy, open relationships

Navigating life transitions or major changes

Fees

My individual session fee is £60. For couples the fee is £85 (Weekdays) - £100 (Saturday am)

Additionally I offer an initial 15-minute phone call (free of charge). When you make contact, we can chat briefly about why you are considering relationsip therapy and whether this is something I might be able to help you with.

I mainly work from a warm, confidential space in Derby (DE1). There is free, off street parking, toilets and disabled access.

Our first session is an initial assessment, this enables me to find out a little more about your history, your life today and your wishes for therapy. This will enable us to determine whether we are the right therapeutic fit for each other. For you both to decide whether it feels comfortable to work with me and for me to ascertain whether I am the right therapist for your relationship.

We will then agree a session time and day, weekly or fortnightly and this will be your time thereafter.
