About Lilian

Lilian Shundi uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship concerns. She is registered with the HCPC in the United Kingdom and brings four years of clinical experience to her work. Lilian writes plainly and works collaboratively so people feel understood from the first session.

She draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which focuses on how thoughts and behaviours keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change them.

Background and approach

She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at longer-standing patterns that affect relationships and self-image. Sessions combine practical exercises with chance to reflect on past influences. People contact Lilian for support with relationship strain, family tensions and communication problems.

She also helps with depression, low self-esteem, social anxiety, workplace issues and life transitions such as divorce or midlife re-evaluation. Common themes include guilt, shame, isolation and finding renewed purpose. Her style is straightforward and warm.

She offers psychoeducation early in therapy to explain what to expect and to build useful tools quickly. Progress is reviewed regularly and practical plans are made to keep gains going after therapy ends. Sessions are available in English and Swahili and can be arranged to suit international clients.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to therapist availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours. Online CBT sessions often include setting small tasks between sessions and using straightforward exercises during video or messaging work to practise new responses. This helps with anxiety, stress, social anxiety and workplace difficulties.

Psychodynamic work looks at patterns that repeat in relationships and self-view. Even in brief online work, this approach can help people notice recurring themes and make different choices in daily life. It supports work on guilt, shame, self-esteem and long-term relationship patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide what fits best, combining practical skill-building with reflective discussion as needed. Goals, preferences and how someone responds to early sessions guide adjustments over time.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls enable face-to-face conversation when visual contact helps. Phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing, need quick check-ins, or want to reflect before responding. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments.
