About Liam
Dr Liam Reilly is a Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) registered clinical psychologist with 11 years of experience in the United Kingdom. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions, codependency and related concerns. He also supports people dealing with relationship or intimacy issues, parenting strain, eating and sleeping problems, and workplace or career challenges.
He writes plainly in sessions and focuses on practical steps. He draws on cognitive behavioural methods and acceptance-based approaches to help people notice patterns that keep them stuck. He also uses attachment-informed ideas when relationship patterns are central to the problem.
Dr Reilly has worked in NHS, private, corporate and educational settings, and has offered training and supervision alongside clinical work. His HCPC registration and background in clinical psychology inform his practice. He has experience supporting people with complex presentations such as bipolar disorder, dissociation and co-morbidity while keeping therapy centred on the person in front of him.
In sessions he aims for collaborative and person-centred conversations. He introduces strategies someone can try between meetings, then reviews what did or did not help. This approach is useful for people who keep putting others first, struggle to set boundaries, or live around someone else's moods or crises.
Practical problem-solving and clearer thinking are part of his toolkit. He encourages people to identify small changes that make daily life easier, and to build skills for managing distress, communication and emotional regulation.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting driven by them, then focus on actions that reflect their values. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and problems with motivation. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers clear strategies to change patterns that cause distress; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression and sleep or eating difficulties. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to patterns in relationships and how early bonds shape current reactions; it can help when intimacy, abandonment or family dynamics are central concerns.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist discusses options and collaborates with each person to decide which approaches to try, adjusting plans based on progress and preferences. This is a joint process rather than a fixed prescription.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions useful because they fit more easily into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow a shorter check-in if needed during a break at work. Registered or accredited professionals often use remote sessions to maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are difficult, and the therapist will help plan sessions to fit practical needs and goals.
