About Lily

Lily Llewellyn is a counsellor who uses a client-centred approach to help people feel heard and understood. She works with adults and young people on issues like anxiety, depression, relationship strain and identity concerns. Lily holds a BACP credential and draws on five years of practice in the UK.

She aims to create a calm, dependable space where clients can talk without judgement. Sessions focus on listening carefully, reflecting what matters, and helping people notice their own strengths. Lily also uses ideas from emotionally-focused and existential approaches when they suit a person's needs.

Her background includes a Master of Science in Person-Centred Counselling and postgraduate diploma studies at Aberdeen University. She has worked as a school counsellor and volunteered with organisations supporting young people, including ChildLine and The Bounds in Aberdeen. Prior experience teaching English and travelling in Europe also shaped how she connects with different people.

In practical terms she helps with grief, coping with life changes, family and blended family issues, addiction concerns, eating and sleeping difficulties, and challenges around intimacy and communication. She also supports people dealing with ADHD, bipolar and compassion fatigue, always responding to the person in front of her rather than following a fixed script.

Lily describes counselling as a collaborative process. She encourages people to explore difficult feelings, try out different ways of relating, and discover clearer choices for moving forward. Her style is steady, attentive and grounded in respect.

How her approaches work for online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and building a warm connection so people can speak openly about what is troubling them. It can help with anxiety, low mood, identity questions and struggles around relationships by encouraging a person to notice their own strengths and choices.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on understanding emotional patterns in relationships and close connections. It supports people who want to improve communication, work through attachment concerns, or resolve intimacy-related difficulties by observing how emotions shape interactions.

Finding the right approach often happens together. The counsellor will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and select ideas from these approaches that fit. This is a collaborative process where methods are adapted as the relationship develops.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week and keep continuity when life is changing. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it simpler to join sessions from different locations. The biography does not list specific session formats, so readers should confirm available options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists can help people test what works best and adjust the way they meet as needed.
