About Lily Llewellyn
Lily Llewellyn is a UK-licensed counsellor who brings a warm, curious approach to working with adults and young people. She focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, grief, addiction, trauma and a wide range of life transitions, including issues affecting LGBT clients and concerns around intimacy, eating, sleeping and parenting. Lily aims to support clients who feel stuck, empty or powerless by helping them build greater emotional understanding and practical strategies for change.
Lily's interest in how people develop and relate to one another began while studying anthropology, and that foundation continues to shape her work. She has taught English and spent time travelling in Europe, experiences that broadened her perspective and strengthened her listening skills. Those early roles led naturally into formal counselling training and a commitment to therapeutic work.
Her clinical practice draws on person-centred principles, emotionally-focused therapy (EFT) and existential approaches, with additional attention to attachment patterns, codependency, communication and blended family dynamics. She works from a place of curiosity and respect, inviting clients to explore their stories while offering steady support and reflective feedback.
Lily holds a Master of Science in Person-Centred Counselling in progress at Aberdeen University and a Postgraduate Diploma in Person-Centred Counselling from the same university. She has completed counselling skills accreditation at Levels 1 through 4 with COSCA and holds an MA in Anthropology. Her practical experience includes volunteer counselling roles with ChildLine and The Bounds, work as a school counsellor, and a private practice. She is also a member of BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which indicates membership of a recognised professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists.
Outside of work she values simple pleasures that help her feel grounded - reading, long walks and the occasional slice of cake. She describes the therapeutic role as a privilege, welcoming the trust clients place in her and aiming to create a sense of safety and stability in the counselling relationship.
