About Lilian
Lilian Shundi works from an evidence-based approach to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression and self-esteem difficulties. She is Dr Lillian Shundi and holds a professional doctorate in counselling psychology. She is registered with the HCPC in the United Kingdom and has four years of clinical experience.
Her main way of working draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact and offers practical steps to change unhelpful patterns.
Background and approach
She also weaves in psychodynamic ideas to help understand how past experiences shape current reactions. Sessions include psychoeducation and clear tools to use between meetings. Lilian supports people dealing with relationship strain, family-related concerns, communication problems, divorce and separation.
She also works with issues such as guilt, shame, isolation, social anxiety and workplace stress. Her focus includes midlife questions, life purpose and building self-love and confidence. In the room she treats the person as the expert on their life and aims to create a collaborative plan.
Progress is reviewed and practical ways to keep gains after therapy end are discussed. That makes the work feel concrete and transferable to day-to-day life. She offers sessions in English and Swahili.
Prospective clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to the therapist's availability via the Start Therapy button.

How Lilian works online
Deciding which approach to use is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options, try methods, and adapt them to what feels most helpful. Clients and therapist set goals together and review progress to find the best fit for each person.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around busy lives, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when that suits a day off work. It also makes it straightforward to continue sessions when people are living in different places or travelling.
