About Lily
Lily Llewellyn is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She works with adults and young people and helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief and loss, LGBT-related matters, relationship and intimacy concerns, and major life changes.
Lily uses person-centred ideas in her work, focusing on what matters to the person in front of her. Sessions are conversational and aim to create steadiness so people can talk through painful or confusing feelings. She also draws on emotionally-focused techniques to look at patterns in relationships and how feelings get expressed between people.
Her background includes postgraduate studies in person-centred counselling and a MA in anthropology, plus experience as a school counsellor and volunteer at ChildLine. That mix of academic study and frontline roles shapes a practical way of working. Sessions often look at immediate coping alongside longer-term questions about identity and belonging.
Lily has supported people with addictions, trauma, eating and sleeping concerns, ADHD, bipolar and depression, and parenting or fatherhood issues. She pays attention to attachment and family of origin problems when these come up in sessions. Her approach tends to be quiet, attentive and reflective rather than directive.
She accepts international clients and offers work in English. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then book a first session through the service's online options. Fees vary by location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How her person-centred and emotionally-focused work translates online
Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience at the centre. It encourages honest talk and helps someone feel heard while they sort through their thoughts. This approach can be particularly useful for identity questions, self-esteem issues and the everyday pressures of early adulthood.Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at how emotions show up in close relationships and at the patterns that keep repeating. It aims to open up new ways of communicating and connecting, which can help with intimacy issues and relationship stress.
Finding the right approach is something to do together. Lily will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and will adapt the work as understanding grows. That conversation helps decide whether more person-centred or more emotionally-focused methods suit the issue at hand.
