Lily Llewellyn , BACP

Lily Llewellyn is a UK-based counsellor with five years of professional experience who works with both adults and young people. She draws on training in person-centred approaches and additional study in anthropology to support clients navigating relationship difficulties, family conflict, grief and loss, intimacy-related concerns, and a wide range of emotional and behavioural challenges. Her background includes academic work at Aberdeen University, a postgraduate diploma and ongoing MSc study in person-centred counselling, as well as volunteer and school counselling roles and work in private practice. These experiences shape a calm, attentive style that prioritises understanding each person’s story and strengths.

Lily places particular emphasis on creating a sense of safety and trust in the therapeutic relationship, believing that stability and care enable meaningful change. She has experience supporting people with stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, addictions, trauma and abuse, parenting and family issues, body image and eating concerns, sleep problems, career questions, and matters related to intimacy and identity, including LGBT-related issues. Lily also brings interest in attachment, codependency, blended family dynamics, and fatherhood issues.

She holds BACP membership - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which represents counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK. Outside of practice she has taught English, studied and travelled in Europe, and values simple restorative activities like reading and long walks.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Lily often works from a person-centred perspective, which focuses on understanding each client’s unique experience and offering empathic, nonjudgmental support to help people build self-awareness and confidence. This approach is helpful for emotional concerns like low self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship difficulties. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on identifying and reshaping emotional responses in close relationships, making it useful for couples or individuals struggling with attachment and intimacy-related issues. Existential therapy explores questions of meaning, purpose and choice, supporting people facing emptiness, grief, or major life changes by helping them clarify values and take intentional action.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Lily collaborates with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, and adapts her work as understanding deepens. This collaborative stance aims to ensure therapy feels relevant and practical for each person.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging - so clients can access support from home or while travelling. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family commitments and different time zones, while still working with licensed professionals and therapists who can tailor the process to each client’s situation.
