About Lily

Lily Llewellyn uses a person-centred approach to help people find clearer ways to manage feelings and make choices. She draws on emotionally-focused and existential ideas to help people understand relationships, meaning, and emotional patterns. Lily works from a calm, listening stance and aims to make people feel heard and understood.

She supports people with stress and anxiety, depression and bipolar mood concerns, and problems connected to intimacy and relationships. She also helps with grief, addiction, eating and sleeping issues, and work or career strain.

Background and approach

Additional focus areas include attachment questions, codependency, body image and family of origin concerns. Lily trained in counselling and holds a Master of Science in Person-Centred Counselling from Aberdeen University. She also completed a Postgraduate Diploma in Person-Centred Counselling and earlier studies in anthropology.

Her background includes school counselling, volunteer work with ChildLine, and independent practice experience. Over five years she has worked with adults and young people in a variety of settings. She combines straightforward listening with gentle challenges to help people notice patterns and try different ways of relating.

Sessions are practical and conversational, aimed at building understanding and gradual change. Outside work Lily taught English and spent time travelling in Europe, which shaped her interest in how people live and relate. She values creating a sense of safety in the counselling room and sees that trust as central to the work.

Her style is down-to-earth and patient, suited to people looking for steady, thoughtful support.

Sessions & fees

Person-centred and emotionally-focused work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and helping people feel understood. It encourages people to explore their thoughts and feelings at their own pace and is helpful for issues like low self-esteem, life changes and relationship worries.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at how emotions shape relationships and behaviour. It helps people identify repeated patterns in how they connect with others and supports new ways of responding in close relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the person about their needs, goals and preferences and then suggest which ideas might suit best. Decisions about approach are made collaboratively and can change as therapy progresses.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues when that helps, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is wanted. Live chat and messaging are useful for shorter, frequent check-ins and for people who prefer typed conversation. These options make it simpler to fit counselling around work, family or travel commitments and to continue work while living in different places.
