About Lily
Lily Llewellyn is a counsellor who works in a person-centred way and focuses on sleep and rest alongside many life concerns. She aims to help people who feel overwhelmed, empty or stuck by listening and clarifying what matters to them. Lily is based in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English.
Lily trained in person-centred counselling and completed postgraduate study while also working with young people. She has five years of professional experience and holds a BACP credential, which she uses to guide her practice. Her background includes volunteering roles and school counselling work that shaped how she supports people in everyday life.
In sessions Lily keeps the approach straightforward. She pays attention to feelings and relationships and helps clients notice patterns that affect sleep, mood and daily functioning. Conversations cover practical steps and the emotions behind them, so people can try different ways of coping and see what fits.
She also draws on emotionally-focused ideas to look at how connection and attachment shape problems such as intimacy worries, grief and family conflict. Existential perspectives are used to talk about meaning, values and choices when people face major life changes or feel lost.
Lily describes counselling as a collaborative process. She aims to create steadiness and trust so people feel able to try new behaviours, address anxiety or work on better rest. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step are used to set up the first appointments.
How Lily's approaches translate to online therapy
Lily practises person-centred counselling, which focuses on the person's experience and what they want to address. This approach centres on listening closely, reflecting feelings and helping people find their own solutions to issues like anxiety or sleep problems.She also uses emotionally-focused ideas to look at how attachment and connection affect distress. That work helps when intimacy, family conflict or grief are part of the picture. Existential perspectives are used to talk about meaning, values and major life choices when people feel stuck or empty.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Lily will discuss goals, preferences and what feels helpful, then adapt the way sessions are run to fit each person's needs. The process is collaborative and paced to what the person wants to try.
