About Lily
Lily Llewellyn is a counsellor who works in a person-centred way, focusing on the individual experience and what matters most to them. She combines a straightforward, listening-based approach with attention to emotions and personal meaning. Lily uses these ways of working to help people facing codependency, relationship strain, stress and anxiety.
Lily trained in person-centred counselling at Aberdeen University and completed postgraduate studies in the same area. She also studied anthropology and taught English before training as a counsellor. That background influences how she listens to personal stories and notices the wider life context.
Her five years of practice include volunteering roles and work with young people. She has experience supporting people with grief, intimacy-related concerns, LGBT issues, family conflict, addictions, trauma and eating or sleeping difficulties. She also supports people dealing with ADHD, bipolar and depression symptoms and with workplace or career strain.
In sessions Lily offers calm, steady listening and helps people name feelings and patterns. She will pay attention to attachment and family-of-origin themes when they come up. She aims to help people move from feeling stuck towards clearer choices and better self-understanding.
Lily works from the United Kingdom and provides counselling in English. She combines university-based training, voluntary counselling experience and private practice work to support adults and young people who want to talk through difficult life moments.
How Lily's approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, non-judgemental space where the person leads the conversation and the counsellor reflects back what they hear; this helps when someone wants support to build confidence and self-understanding. Emotionally-Focused Therapy pays attention to emotional experiences and patterns in close relationships, and it can help people who struggle with intimacy, attachment or codependency. Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice and responsibility in life and can help when someone feels stuck, empty or unsure about life direction.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will explore your needs and goals and discuss which methods feel most useful. Decisions about how much focus goes on feelings, on relationships or on life meaning are made together and can change over time.
