About Lily
Lily Llewellyn is a counsellor who works from a person-centred outlook. She aims to create a calm space where people can talk about stress, anxiety, grief, relationship troubles and issues around identity. Lily has five years of counselling experience and holds BACP registration, which she uses to guide her practice.
She prefers a straightforward and conversational way of working. Sessions focus on listening, reflecting what the person says, and gently helping them find clarity about their feelings. The approach is practical and driven by the client's priorities rather than rigid techniques.
Lily trained in person-centred counselling at Aberdeen University and completed postgraduate study in the same field. Her background also includes an MA in anthropology and teaching English, experiences that shaped how she notices culture, story and everyday life in therapy.
She has worked as a school counsellor, a volunteer counsellor for child-focused services, and in private practice. Those roles have given her regular contact with issues such as family conflict, parenting strains, intimacy questions, eating and sleeping problems, addiction concerns, and challenges linked to LGBT identity.
In sessions Lily pays attention to patterns from family of origin, attachment, and communication styles. She supports people who are dealing with life changes, career uncertainty, anger, low self-esteem and compassion fatigue. Her manner is steady and curious, helping people find more agency and a clearer sense of direction.
How Lily's approaches translate to online counselling
Lily draws primarily on person-centred practice, emotionally focused ideas and some existential thinking. Person-centred work means the counsellor offers attentive, non-judgemental listening so people can explore feelings and decide what matters most to them. Emotionally focused approaches concentrate on identifying and expressing core emotions that shape how a person connects with others and themselves. Existential ideas invite reflection on meaning, responsibility and the choices a person faces in life.Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative work in sessions. Lily will discuss what feels most useful, try different ways of approaching concerns, and adapt the style to the client's goals and preferences. That shared process helps decide whether more exploration, emotional processing or practical planning should come next.
Confirm the available session formats before booking so you know what will be offered. Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy around work, travel or family life and can reduce time spent commuting. It can also allow shorter check-ins when mornings or lunch breaks are the only times that suit, or quieter audio-only meetings when camera use is difficult. Many people find these practical options help make regular work on their wellbeing more achievable.
