About Lily
Lily Llewellyn is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She works with adults and young people on stresses such as anxiety, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, and concerns connected to identity and family. Her background includes work with LGBT-related issues and support around major life changes and addictions.
She trained in person-centred approaches at Aberdeen University and completed postgraduate study in person-centred counselling. Lily has volunteered as a counsellor at ChildLine and other local services, and she also works in schools and in private practice. Before counselling she taught English and spent time travelling across Europe, which shaped her interest in how people become themselves.
In sessions she focuses on listening and helping people better understand their emotions and patterns. She draws on client-centred work to build conversations that put the client’s experience first. Emotionally-Focused Therapy informs how she approaches relationship and attachment concerns, helping people look at feelings and interaction patterns.
She also uses existential ideas to help clients consider meaning, choice and responsibility when life feels empty or overwhelmed. Practical matters such as sleep, eating and coping with the aftermath of trauma or loss are part of the work as well. Lily pays attention to family of origin themes, codependency patterns, and issues around control or communication.
Her style is straightforward and conversational. People can expect a calm, attentive presence and focus on making sense of how their difficulties fit into daily life. To begin, clients follow the site’s matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session through the online options button.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience. It involves open conversation and reflective responses to help people make sense of their feelings and choices. This is helpful for anxiety, stress, and concerns about self-worth.Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how emotions drive interaction. It helps people identify recurring emotional responses and try new ways of relating, which can be useful for intimacy, attachment and relationship issues.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with the client and decide together what methods suit their goals, needs and preferences. That collaborative process can change as progress is made or new priorities emerge.
Confirm the current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people choose sessions that better match their energy on a given day, for example a phone call when not wishing to be on camera. Registered or accredited professionals can use these formats to help maintain continuity of support while clients manage work, family or study commitments.
