Lily Earle , BACP

Lily Earle is an integrative psychotherapist, lecturer and supervisor on the BSc (Hons) Counselling programme at the University of East London, and a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). With 15 years of experience supporting adults and children across the public, charitable and private sectors, she combines professional training with a practical, compassionate approach to help people navigate difficult life moments.

Lily believes in creating a warm, non-judgmental and personal space where people can reflect and work toward positive change. Her practice is pluralistic and creative - drawing on a range of models and tailoring work to each person’s needs. She treats clients as experts in their own lives and acts as a guide, helping to clarify priorities, identify goals and use inner strengths and experiences to move forward.

Her work emphasises human resilience and the capacity to adapt after emotional or physical trauma. By attending to the multiple layers of a problem and working through them step-by-step, she supports people to disentangle complex issues and decide where to begin. Lily adapts her style to match what is most helpful at different stages of therapy, whether that means naming and expressing strong emotions or using structured techniques to think through problems.

Throughout her career she has focused on helping people find more satisfying and sustainable ways of living. She welcomes questions about her approach and professional background, and she shares information about how her practice is organised for those seeking to learn more.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being overwhelmed by them, and then take actions that align with personal values. It is often used for stress, anxiety and persistent worries by teaching practical ways to engage with life despite discomfort.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and creating a respectful space where the client’s own understanding leads the process. This approach supports people who need help exploring their feelings, relationships and sense of self at a comfortable pace.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers structured ways to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop alternative strategies. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression and problem-solving, helping people practice new skills between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Lily works collaboratively with clients and other licensed professionals to identify the best fit based on individual needs, goals and preferences, adapting methods as progress unfolds.

Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging makes it easier to access consistent support from home or while travelling. These options increase scheduling flexibility, reduce travel time and allow people to engage in therapy in ways that suit their daily life and comfort level.
