Joanne Lilley , BACP

Joanne Lilley is a UK-based person-centred therapist with 16 years of professional experience supporting individuals, couples, families, and young people. She works in English and draws on a compassionate, respectful approach to help clients navigate issues such as stress, anxiety, addiction, phobias, family conflict, trauma and abuse, identity and sexuality, self-esteem, motivation, and relationship difficulties. Joanne also supports people facing life transitions, sleep problems, grief, and career challenges, and offers guidance for those seeking personal development and emotional healing to move forward with greater confidence.

Her practice emphasises tailoring conversations and therapeutic plans to each person’s unique needs, so sessions are shaped around the client rather than a one-size-fits-all model. Joanne is registered with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - reflecting her commitment to professional standards in counselling practice. She is clear about scope of practice and asks clients seeking formal diagnosis to consult their general practitioner for assessment.

Joanne recognises that beginning therapy takes courage and aims to make the process straightforward; prospective clients can review her availability and book a session, with the possibility of an appointment within a few hours depending on timing and schedule.
