About Lily
Lily Llewellyn offers a warm, person-focused counselling style rooted in client-centred work. She uses empathic listening to help people who feel stuck, overwhelmed or disconnected. Lily aims to create a calm space where people can begin to understand their feelings and choices.
Lily trained in person-centred counselling at Aberdeen University and holds a Bachelor of Arts in anthropology. She has five years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
Background and approach
Her background includes volunteering roles supporting young people and work as a school counsellor. Sessions often cover stress and anxiety, relationships and intimacy-related issues, grief and loss, substance difficulties, mood conditions such as depression and bipolar, and concerns linked to identity including LGBT matters. She also supports those facing family conflict, parenting strain, work stress and life transitions.
Alongside client-centred methods Lily draws on emotionally-focused therapy to look at patterns in close relationships and existential therapy to help people find meaning and direction. In practice she listens, reflects, and asks practical questions so people can test different ways of being in daily life. People describe her approach as attentive and steady, with an emphasis on exploration rather than quick fixes.
International clients who speak English can be seen, and sessions are arranged through a matching and scheduling process set out when beginning therapy.

How Lily works online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at patterns in close relationships and the feelings that drive them. It can be useful when people want to change how they relate emotionally to partners or close others and reduce reactive cycles.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide what feels most helpful based on a person's goals, preferences and the practical issues they bring. That may mean trying different ways of working until a good fit is found.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life. It can reduce travel time and allow sessions around work, study or family commitments. If you rely on phone or lower-bandwidth options at times, those choices can make check-ins simpler. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current options before booking to find arrangements that suit everyday routines and needs.
