About Liam
Dr Liam Reilly offers support for people facing anxiety, stress, depression, trauma and related difficulties. He is clear and direct in sessions, helping clients talk through worries and find practical ways to manage day-to-day life. He aims to create a calm atmosphere where people feel heard and can work at their own pace.
Dr Reilly is a Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) registered clinical psychologist with eleven years of experience.
Background and approach
He has worked in the NHS, personal, corporate and education settings and has provided training and supervision as part of his role. He previously represented the British Psychological Society Northern Ireland faculty for children, young people and families. His sessions are person-centred and collaborative.
He listens first, then helps people try techniques that suit their situation. This can include skills to reduce anxiety, ways to change unhelpful thinking, and strategies to manage strong emotions. He draws on several approaches when planning care, choosing what fits each person’s needs rather than using the same plan for everyone.
That might mean short-term practical work focused on a specific problem, or deeper work around relationships and attachment. He aims to help people build resilience and clearer ways of coping. Clients can expect straightforward explanations of methods, step-by-step strategies to try between sessions, and regular review of progress.
Dr Reilly supports people with a wide range of concerns including addictions, sleep problems, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, ADHD and career stresses, among others.
How certain approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts without fighting them and focus on values-based action. Online ACT sessions often include exercises to practise noticing thoughts and setting small goals between meetings.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches skills to change unhelpful patterns. Remotely this can involve worksheets, behavioural experiments and guided practice during video or chat sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferred ways of working and any practical constraints, then agree a plan together. That collaborative decision can change over time as needs evolve.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and exercises that need visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is an issue. Live chat and text-based messaging suit short check-ins, written reflection or for those who prefer typing to talking. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, manage sudden stress, or keep contact across time zones for international clients.
