About Lily
Lily Llewellyn is a counsellor who uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside client-centred and existential approaches. She bases her work on helping people understand their emotions and regain a sense of control. Lily speaks plainly and works to make sessions straightforward for people who are anxious or overwhelmed.
She has five years of experience and holds BACP accreditation. Her background includes a Master of Science in Person-Centred Counselling and postgraduate study in counselling skills, plus earlier training in anthropology and experience teaching English.
Background and approach
She has worked in schools and volunteered with ChildLine and other charities. In sessions she listens first and asks simple questions to clarify what matters to the person. She helps people name feelings and linked patterns, then tries different ways to shift those patterns.
Conversations are practical and paced to suit each person’s needs. Lily supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and issues around intimacy, relationships and identity. She also addresses eating and sleeping difficulties, addiction concerns, parental and family problems, ADHD and compassion fatigue.
Additional focus areas include attachment issues, communication problems and body image concerns. She offers short-term work and longer-term counselling depending on goals. Sessions can be arranged online or by phone and are aimed at helping people build new ways of coping and clearer choices for the future.

Approaches Lily names
Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist lists and does not check training records.
Online support
Emotion-focused and person-centred support online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on feelings and attachment patterns. It helps people better identify core emotions and change unhelpful interaction cycles that keep them stuck. Client‑centred therapy emphasises a warm, non-judgemental relationship where the person’s own goals guide the work and the counsellor reflects what is said to aid clarity. Existential therapy looks at meaning, choice and responsibility and can help when someone feels empty, stuck or uncertain about life direction.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lily will discuss these methods with each person and together they will decide what fits best based on needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process allows adjustments over time, so sessions can change as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical benefits such as fitting sessions around work or family life and removing travel time. Video calls are useful for a near-conventional therapy experience, phone sessions can be a good option when lower bandwidth or a quieter check-in is needed, and live chat or text messaging suit shorter reflections or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to attend regularly and try different formats to see what helps most.
