About Lily

Lily Llewellyn is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years' experience working with adults and young people. She helps people with stress, anxiety, grief, relationship concerns, LGBT issues and a wide range of life changes. Her practice also covers trauma and abuse, addictions, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting concerns and mood-related problems such as depression and bipolar.

Lily uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy as one of her main approaches alongside Client-Centred and Existential therapy. She listens for patterns in how people relate and respond to strong feelings. Sessions often focus on naming emotions, noticing unhelpful patterns and trying new ways of responding.

Her background includes a Master of Science in Person-Centred Counselling and a Postgraduate Diploma in Person-Centred Counselling from Aberdeen University. She has experience as a school counsellor, volunteer counsellor with ChildLine and other local services, and works in private practice.

Clients can expect straightforward conversation and reflective listening. Lily draws on her training and experience to help people think through problems, manage overwhelming feelings and clarify what matters to them. She also brings practical support for issues such as parenting, work stress and sleep problems.

Outside counselling she has worked teaching English and studied anthropology, experiences she says shaped how she understands different ways of living. She is happy to work with international clients and offers sessions that fit different life routines. To begin, people use the site matching steps to choose and book an initial session.

How Lily uses EFT and person-centred work online

Lily combines Emotionally-Focused Therapy with Client-Centred ideas to help people recognise and work with strong emotions. EFT focuses on identifying emotional patterns and the interactional ways people respond to feelings, which can help when worries, intimacy or attachment come up. Client-Centred work centres on listening and reflecting so a person can make sense of their own experience and decide what matters next.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Lily will discuss which methods fit the client's goals and preferences and will work collaboratively to adjust the way sessions run as needs change. That means trying approaches and checking in about what feels helpful as therapy continues.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm the session options before booking. Online work can make sessions easier to fit into busy lives, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to keep continuity if circumstances change, and therapists can adapt techniques so practical coping and emotional work translate to everyday situations.
