About Lily
Lily Llewellyn offers a warm, person-centred way of working that helps people feel heard and understood. She blends Client-Centred Therapy with emotionally focused and existential ideas to support practical change. Lily communicates plainly and focuses on everyday struggles.
She works from the United Kingdom and speaks English. She helps people manage stress and anxiety, cope with grief and loss, and work through relationship and intimacy-related issues. Lily also supports those facing addiction, trauma and abuse, eating and sleeping difficulties, low self-esteem, and career uncertainty.
How Lily works
She lists LGBT concerns, parenting and fatherhood issues, ADHD, bipolar and depression among her areas of focus. Lily trained in person-centred counselling at Aberdeen University and holds a BACP credential. She has worked as a volunteer counsellor and as a school counsellor, and she runs a independent practice.
Her background includes teaching English and studying anthropology, which shaped how she listens to different life stories. In sessions she listens first and asks questions that help people notice patterns in their feelings and behaviour. She aims to make therapy a space where people can feel less stuck and more able to make choices.
Sessions can include short practical steps alongside deeper conversations about meaning and values. Her approach is gentle but direct when needed. She encourages people to try small changes between sessions and to reflect on what helps them feel more in control.
People who want straightforward, compassionate support tend to find her style easy to follow.

Online support options
Approaches online and how they might help
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on empathy and understanding. The therapist gives space for people to speak and be heard, which can help with low self-esteem, relationship concerns and feeling overwhelmed. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at core emotions and patterns in close relationships; it helps people identify painful feelings and shift how they respond to others. Existential Therapy examines meaning, choice and values, which can be useful when life changes feel confusing or empty.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lily will discuss different ways of working and decide together with each person what feels most helpful. This collaborative process blends conversational listening with practical steps tailored to the person's goals and preferences.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when seeing expressions matters. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat or text-based messaging suits short updates, emotional support between sessions or when typing feels easier than talking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and travel schedules while keeping the focus on progress and wellbeing.
