About Lily
Counsellor and member of BACP with 5 years' experience, Lily Llewellyn works with adults and young people on issues including LGBT matters, family conflict, grief, intimacy problems and coping with life changes. She also helps with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions and ADHD, among other concerns.
Lily trained in person-centred approaches while studying anthropology and later completed postgraduate counselling qualifications at Aberdeen University. She has worked in schools, volunteered with helplines and runs a private practice in the UK. Her background includes teaching English and time living and travelling in Europe, which she says helped her meet different kinds of people.
In sessions she uses client-centred ideas that focus on listening and the client’s own pace. She also draws on emotionally-focused work to look at feelings in relationships, and existential ideas when people face big life questions. Conversations are plain and practical, aimed at helping people understand their reactions and make small changes they can try between sessions.
She is comfortable talking about attachment, communication problems, codependency, body image and blended family issues. Lily also lists support for eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting strains, career concerns, bipolar and compassion fatigue as areas she works with.
Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people are asked to use the See online counselling options button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How Lily uses therapeutic approaches in online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy places the client’s experience at the centre. The counsellor listens without directing, helping people name their thoughts and feelings and decide what matters most to them. This approach suits people who want a steady, listening relationship to help them make sense of their situation.Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at how people respond in relationships. It helps identify patterns of interaction and the feelings that drive them, which can be useful for intimacy and relationship concerns. Existential Therapy encourages people to face big questions about meaning, choice and responsibility when coping with life changes or feelings of emptiness.
Finding the right combination of approaches is part of early sessions. Lily will work collaboratively to decide what fits a person’s needs, goals and preferences. That may mean trying different ways of working and adjusting as things progress.
The profile does not state which online session formats are offered, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into everyday life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing a shorter check-in during a work break, or avoiding the need to be on camera when quieter audio works better. Registered or accredited professionals commonly use these practical benefits to help people sustain their sessions alongside daily commitments.
