About Liam
Dr Liam Reilly helps people who are facing parenting challenges, stress, anxiety, grief, mood difficulties and problems with sleep or eating. He works with issues like trauma, addiction, relationship and intimacy concerns, and supports people managing ADHD, compassion fatigue and career strain.
Dr Reilly is named up front because he leads the therapeutic work in sessions and aims to make things easier to talk about. He favours short, clear conversations that focus on what matters to the person in front of him.
Background and approach
Sessions are collaborative and tailored to each person’s needs. He draws on practical strategies alongside talking, so people leave with steps they can try between meetings. Dr Reilly is registered with the Health and Care Professions Council, HCPC, and has 11 years of professional experience in NHS, personal, corporate and educational settings.
He has also worked in training and supervision roles and directed a psychology service based in Belfast. His approach combines several well-known therapies including cognitive behavioural techniques, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-informed thinking and elements of dialectical practice. He adapts methods to suit the person’s goals rather than following a single model.
Many people come for practical coping tools, clearer communication skills and help in managing strong emotions. Sessions are aimed at helping someone understand patterns, build manageable habits and make steady progress over time.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Dr Reilly commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and still take steps that match their values. He also draws on attachment-based ideas, which look at how early relationships shape patterns and help with relationship or intimacy-related concerns. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used too to identify unhelpful thinking and try practical behaviour changes that reduce symptoms.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then adjust methods as progress unfolds. This is a collaborative process that aims to match techniques to the person’s situation rather than imposing a single method.
Online therapy is offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging so sessions can fit around work, school runs or shift patterns. Video is useful for a full conversation and visual cues, phone works when bandwidth is limited, and messaging can suit quick check-ins or short coaching-style support. These options make it easier to keep continuity and try strategies between sessions.
