About Lily
Lily Llewellyn is a person-centred counsellor who focuses on helping people navigate anxiety and life changes. She works in straightforward, calm ways to help clients feel heard. Lily aims to help people gain more control over emotions and reactions.
She brings five years of professional experience to her practice in the United Kingdom. Lily trained in person-centred approaches and completed postgraduate study in counselling at Aberdeen University. She also holds a Masters in Anthropology which shaped her interest in how people develop their sense of self.
Background and approach
Her background includes volunteering at ChildLine and The Bounds, and she has worked as a school counsellor and in independent practice. In sessions she listens first and follows what matters to each person. She uses emotionally-focused ideas to attend to difficult feelings and existential perspectives to look at meaning and purpose.
Conversations tend to be plain and practical, with attention to feelings, relationships, and day-to-day coping. Lily has supported people with anxiety, stress, grief, relationship and family issues, identity and LGBT concerns, addiction, trauma, eating and sleeping problems, and self-esteem. She also works with challenges such as attachment struggles, communication breakdowns, codependency, and parenting pressures.
Her work style is collaborative and gentle. She encourages clients to try small changes between sessions and to notice what helps. Outside of counselling she enjoys reading, walking and a good slice of cake.
How Lily’s approaches translate to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding your experience without judgement. The counsellor follows your lead, helps you find your own answers, and supports self-awareness and confidence in small steps.Emotionally-Focused Therapy pays attention to strong feelings in relationships and personal life. It helps you name emotions, understand patterns, and work through painful moments to improve connection with yourself and others.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Lily will talk with you about what feels most helpful, match methods to your goals, and adjust as you go. You and the counsellor decide together what to focus on and how to try things between sessions.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text messaging make brief check-ins, ongoing reflections, or shorter appointments possible. These options make it easier to fit counselling into busy lives, shift work, or different time zones while keeping the focus on steady progress.
