About Liam
Dr Liam Reilly is a Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) registered clinical psychologist in the United Kingdom with 11 years of experience. He supports people with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and a wide range of related concerns. He also works with issues such as ADHD, parenting strain, eating and sleeping problems, and career pressures.
His sessions are person-centred and collaborative. He helps clients name difficult emotions and look at how those emotions affect daily life and relationships. He draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy as one of his approaches to help people understand attachment and emotional patterns.
In practice he also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas to support clearer thinking and practical coping strategies. Appointments focus on what clients want to change and on small, achievable steps to manage distress and build better routines.
Dr Reilly has worked across NHS, private, corporate and educational settings, and has experience offering training and supervision. That varied background informs a flexible style that balances emotional work with practical techniques and problem solving.
People who come to him often want help understanding strong reactions, repairing strained interactions, or coping with life change. He will discuss goals at the first session and agree a way of working that fits those aims.
Using EFT, ACT and attachment ideas in online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and working with strong emotions and attachment patterns that shape how people relate to themselves and others. It helps when feelings are hard to name and when relationship or interaction patterns repeat in unhelpful ways.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choosing actions that connect to personal values. This can support coping with anxiety, low mood and life transitions.
Attachment-Based approaches look at early relationship patterns and how they influence current responses to stress and closeness. These ideas often help with intimacy-related concerns and persistent emotional reactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and then agree a way of working. That discussion helps decide whether to emphasise EFT, ACT, attachment work, or a blend of methods.
