About Joanne Lilley
Joanne Lilley is a UK-licensed person-centred therapist with 16 years of clinical experience, working with adults, families, teenagers and couples. She combines a warm, respectful manner with a practical focus to help people address relationship challenges, work-related stress, anxiety, addiction, phobias, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, identity and sexuality concerns, motivation, self-esteem and confidence. Her work also supports personal development, life coaching and emotional healing to help clients move forward toward their goals.
Joanne adapts each conversation and treatment plan to the specific needs of the individual, offering a sensitive and compassionate approach that values the client’s own perspective. She makes clear that she does not provide formal medical diagnoses and suggests consulting a general practitioner if a diagnostic assessment is needed. Taking the first step can be challenging, and Joanne encourages clients to explore their options; appointments can often be scheduled quickly depending on availability.
Her qualifications include a Psychology BSc (Hons), a BA (Hons) in Person Centred Counselling, and MBACP. The Psychology BSc (Hons) is an undergraduate degree in psychology, the BA (Hons) in Person Centred Counselling reflects formal training in a person-centred therapeutic approach and MBACP indicates membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Joanne provides therapy in English and accepts both UK-based and international clients.

Clients can choose the format that fits their life and comfort level, whether that is video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility makes it easier to keep appointments around work, family, or other commitments.
Therapists offering online sessions are licensed professionals, and clients are free to request a different therapist at any time if they feel a different fit would be more helpful. Online work broadens access to licensed professionals and can make ongoing therapeutic support more convenient for those balancing busy schedules or living at a distance from local services.
