Lily Llewellyn , BACP

Lily Llewellyn is a UK-based therapist with five years of professional experience and a BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which signals adherence to recognised professional standards. She works with both adults and young people, offering person-centred support that aims to restore a sense of agency and emotional clarity when life feels overwhelming.

Her practice covers a wide range of concerns including stress and anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, LGBT-related issues, grief and loss, trauma and abuse, addictions, eating and sleeping problems, parenting and fatherhood issues, and challenges with self-esteem, intimacy and identity. Lily also works with neurodiverse presentations such as ADHD and complex patterns like codependency, attachment difficulties and avoidant personality tendencies.

Lily trained academically in anthropology and progressed to specialist counselling study at Aberdeen University, completing a PGDip and working toward an MSc in Person-Centred Counselling with a Children and Young People specialism. Her background includes Level 1-4 counselling skills accredited by COSCA, volunteer counselling roles with ChildLine and The Bounds in Aberdeen, school counselling, and a private practice. Before qualifying she taught English abroad, an experience that shaped her curiosity about how people grow and relate. She seeks to create a safe, attentive space where individuals can explore meaning, build understanding and move toward the changes they want.

Therapeutic Approaches and Support Online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating an accepting, non-directive space where clients lead the conversation and the therapist offers empathy and reflection; it is useful for building self-understanding, addressing self-esteem concerns and navigating life transitions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and work with core emotions and attachment patterns in relationships, making it a common choice for couples work and intimacy-related issues. Existential Therapy invites exploration of meaning, freedom and responsibility, helping people who feel empty, stuck or searching for purpose to clarify values and make deliberate choices.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Lily works collaboratively with each person to determine what best fits their needs, goals and preferences. She invites conversation about methods and adapts the work as understanding deepens.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, allowing continuity of care across locations and schedules. These formats make it easier to work with a licensed professional from wherever the client is, to maintain momentum between sessions and to choose the communication style that feels most manageable at different stages of the work.
