About Lily

Lily Earle is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 15 years' experience. She works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and relationship difficulties. Her practice also covers codependency, addiction, trauma, eating and sleeping problems, and other life changes.

Lily combines several therapy styles so sessions are straightforward and practical. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centred ways of working and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside existential and mindfulness approaches. This mix helps people notice unhelpful patterns, test small changes and try different ways of responding to difficult thoughts and feelings.

Sessions begin by clarifying what matters most to the individual. Lily aims to help people untangle overlapping issues step by step. That might look like naming what keeps repeating in relationships, mapping triggers for anxiety, or practising simple exercises to manage intense emotions.

She describes the client as the expert in their own life and sees her role as a collaborator and guide. Conversations move between exploring personal meaning and using practical tools when those are useful. The approach is flexible so it can shift as a person’s situation and goals change.

People who come for support often want help setting boundaries, coping with loss or reducing the hold that another person’s moods or drinking have on their life. Lily also offers reflective support around career strain, caregiving stress and long-term health challenges.

How sessions work

How therapy approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing painful thoughts and feelings and choosing actions that match what matters to the person. It can help when people feel stuck in patterns of pleasing others or avoiding conflict.

Client-Centred Therapy centres on listening and reflecting what the individual says so they can discover their own priorities. This approach often helps people gain clarity about boundaries and personal values.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and introduces exercises to test unhelpful assumptions. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood and recurring relationship patterns.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. Lily will discuss what feels most useful and change methods as your needs and goals evolve. This is a collaborative process that combines reflection with practical steps.

Check the session formats offered before booking so they fit your routine and time zone. If you need sessions that fit around work, or quieter shorter check-ins, confirm the available options when you schedule. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life and to practise tools between sessions, while keeping the focus on what you want to change.
