About Lily

BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years' experience. Lily Llewellyn helps people with stress, anxiety, relationships, LGBT concerns, grief, and a wide range of life changes. She uses client-centred work, Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and existential ideas to guide sessions.

Lily meets adults and young people. She draws on training from Aberdeen University, including a post-graduate diploma and an ongoing MSc in Person-Centred Counselling. Her background includes school counselling, volunteer roles with ChildLine and The Bounds, and private practice work. She also has experience teaching English and lived time travelling and working across Europe.

In session she focuses on building understanding of feelings and patterns. That can look like talking through family of origin issues, attachment and communication problems, or dealing with emptiness and meaning. She also addresses more practical concerns such as sleep, eating difficulties, parenting strains, work stress and problems with intimacy or commitment.

Lily describes counselling as a collaborative process. She listens to each person's story and helps them notice repeated patterns. From there she supports people to try different ways of relating, managing emotions, and coping with life events such as loss, trauma or addiction.

Her approach draws on person-centred principles that foreground the client's experience, EFT techniques to focus on emotional bonds and attachment, and existential perspectives that look at meaning and choice. The result is a straightforward, conversational way of working that emphasises honest reflection and practical next steps.

How Lily's approaches work in online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of the work. The therapist listens closely, reflects feelings and supports the person to make sense of their experience. This approach suits people who want a conversational, acceptance-focused way to explore feelings.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on emotions and attachment patterns. It helps people identify key feelings in relationships and how those feelings shape interactions. EFT can be useful for relationship struggles, intimacy issues and attachment-related concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Lily will work together with a client to decide which methods best fit their needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative conversation can start in the first sessions and be adjusted as therapy continues.

Practical benefits of online work include easier fit with daily life and simpler scheduling around work or family commitments. Online sessions can reduce travel time and make it easier to keep regular appointments. Please confirm current session options before booking, as session formats are organised through the platform and the matching process.
