About Liam

Dr Liam Reilly is a Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) registered clinical psychologist with 11 years of experience. He works in the United Kingdom and supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and challenges common in young adulthood such as career and life changes.

He prefers a person-centred approach that encourages people to speak openly and feel heard. Sessions are collaborative and focus on practical strategies to cope with everyday pressures. He draws on a range of psychotherapy techniques to help people manage symptoms and make decisions that suit their lives.

Dr Reilly has worked across NHS, private, corporate and educational settings, and has provided training and supervision alongside clinical work. That background informs a flexible style that aims to match methods to an individual’s situation rather than using one fixed method.

His practice includes approaches such as cognitive-behavioural work, attachment-informed methods, and acceptance-based techniques. These are used alongside skills from dialectical and client-centred ways of working when helpful.

People come to him for help with burnout, relationship problems, identity questions, sleep and eating concerns, ADHD-related coping, and the stresses of leaving home or starting work or study. He also supports those dealing with bereavement, trauma, and difficult patterns such as codependency or control issues.

How his approaches translate to online work

Dr Reilly uses cognitive-behavioural techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and develop practical steps to change them. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep and day-to-day coping skills.

He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which focuses on helping people clarify values and take committed action even when difficult feelings are present. ACT can help with decision-making, life transitions and managing ongoing stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. He will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as work progresses.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, study and travel, and can reduce time spent commuting. They can also allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or avoid being on camera if that helps someone engage.
