About Lilian
Lilian Shundi works from an evidence-based approach to help people manage stress, anxiety and low mood. She is listed with the HCPC, and has four years of professional experience supporting psychological wellbeing. Lilian aims to give clear practical steps early in therapy so people can feel safer making changes.
Lilian uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which focuses on how thoughts and actions affect feelings. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to help people understand patterns that repeat over time.
How Lilian works
Sessions mix practical skill-building with space to talk about deeper life themes. She helps people who are struggling with relationships, family tensions, or difficulties with self-esteem and confidence. Other common areas she addresses include communication problems, workplace issues, social anxiety and feelings of isolation or guilt.
Lilian also supports people facing divorce, questions of life purpose and midlife transitions. Lilian works with English and Swahili speakers and accepts clients from outside the United Kingdom. She aims to help people notice what keeps a problem going and then try simple, manageable changes.
Progress is reviewed together and plans are made to maintain gains after therapy ends. Lilian describes the person coming to therapy as the expert in their own life. She focuses on collaborative work that draws on each person’s strengths.
She encourages small steps and practical strategies so change feels possible.

Online support options
Practical approaches and online therapy options
CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours. It helps with anxiety, low mood and workplace stress by teaching practical tools like behavioural experiments and thought records.Psychodynamic work looks at recurring patterns and emotional themes from past relationships that still affect day-to-day life. This can help people understand why they keep reacting the same way and make different choices moving forward.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your goals and try methods that match your needs. Decisions about pace, tools and the focus of sessions are made together so the plan fits your life.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations from wherever you are. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat or messaging is useful for shorter check-ins and ongoing written reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to choose the format that helps you engage most effectively.
