About Lily
Lily Llewellyn is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She works with adults and young people on concerns such as stress, anxiety, grief, family conflict, LGBT matters, intimacy issues and coping with life changes.
Her background includes an MA in Anthropology and postgraduate counselling qualifications from Aberdeen University. She completed person-centred training and a PGDip in person-centred counselling, and has volunteered with ChildLine and local services. She also has experience working as a school counsellor and in private practice.
In sessions she offers a straightforward, listening-based approach that pays attention to how people relate to themselves and others. Conversations focus on what is happening now, patterns that repeat, and practical ways to try things differently. She uses client-centred methods to prioritise the person’s perspective and emotionally focused ideas to look at relationship patterns.
Lily also draws on existential thinking to help people explore meaning, choice and responsibility when life feels empty or stuck. She can support people dealing with addictions, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting strain, career concerns, bipolar and mood issues, ADHD and compassion fatigue.
Her work tends to be conversational and reflective, with gentle challenges when needed. People who prefer a calm, direct style and clear therapeutic aims may find this approach helpful. For international clients and those in the UK, Lily offers sessions and asks prospective clients to confirm current session options before booking.
How her approaches translate to online work
Lily uses client-centred practice to place the person’s experience first. That means sessions focus on the person’s perspective, their feelings and what they want to change. This approach can help with anxiety, relationship patterns and self-esteem struggles.She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas to look at how people connect and respond in relationships. EFT concepts can be useful when intimacy, attachment or communication problems are central concerns. Existential therapy helps people examine meaning, choice and responsibility when life feels empty or stuck, which can suit those facing major life changes or questions about identity.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and will adapt methods as the relationship develops. This is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all decision.
Session formats are not specified in the supplied biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, study or parenting commitments, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can often offer flexible scheduling to help therapy slot into everyday life.
