About Lily
Lily Llewellyn is a person-centred counsellor who draws on emotion-focused and existential ideas. She offers calm, practical support for parents and adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain and parenting challenges. Lily holds BACP and brings five years of practice work in the United Kingdom.
She works with people who want clearer understanding of their feelings and more choice in how they respond. Lily sees therapy as a collaborative conversation.
Background and approach
Sessions begin by listening closely to what matters most to the person. From there she helps name patterns, explore emotion, and try new ways of relating in day-to-day life. The emphasis is on building strength and agency rather than labels or quick fixes.
Her background includes postgraduate study in person-centred counselling and work with young people in schools and helplines. She has also taught English and studied anthropology, experiences she uses to understand different life stories. This mix gives her a practical, down-to-earth style in sessions.
Lily often supports people dealing with family conflict, attachment issues, intimacy difficulties and life transitions. She also works with those facing addictions, eating and sleeping problems, and career or self-esteem struggles. Her approach pays attention to emotion, personal meaning and everyday choices.
Sessions are available in English and are offered to clients across the UK and internationally. Lily uses a conversational, patient tone and aims to create a stable space where people can try things out and find a clearer way forward.

How these approaches work in online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy puts the person and their experience at the centre. The therapist listens without judgement, helps the person express what they feel, and supports them to find their own answers. This approach can help with parenting stress, relationship strain and low self-esteem.Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on the role of emotion in relationships and personal patterns. It helps people identify core feelings and change how they respond to those feelings, which can be useful for intimacy issues, attachment concerns and family conflict.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss preferences, needs and goals, and adapt methods as the relationship develops. Clients and therapist decide collaboratively what feels most helpful and make adjustments over time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for conversations that benefit from visual cues. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer typed communication or want flexible, brief contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and travel commitments while keeping the focus on practical change and emotional understanding.
