About Liam
Dr Liam Reilly is a Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) registered clinical psychologist with 11 years' experience in the UK. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, depression, addictions, and parenting and family concerns. He also supports those dealing with intimacy issues, eating and sleeping problems, self-esteem, career change, ADHD and compassion fatigue.
He draws on a range of therapy styles to suit the person in front of him. Sessions are described as person-centred and collaborative, focused on helping people express themselves and build practical coping strategies. He writes plans with clients rather than delivering one-size-fits-all solutions.
His background includes work in the NHS, private practice, corporate and educational settings. He has provided training, supervision and psychological support across these areas and has served in representative roles within the British Psychological Society. This breadth informs a pragmatic approach to clinical work.
Dr Reilly uses cognitive and behavioural methods alongside attachment-informed thinking to address relational and developmental issues. He aims to help people manage symptoms and navigate difficult life events through concrete tools and talking through difficult feelings. He works with individual adults and with younger people as noted in his background.
People choosing to work with him can expect sessions that focus on clear goals and gradual change. He explains techniques plainly and checks in about how they are working. The emphasis is on steady progress and on skills that can be used outside sessions.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, depression and problems with motivation or life changes.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thinking and behaviour patterns that keep problems going and then testing new ways of thinking and acting. It is commonly used for anxiety, low mood, sleep and some stress-related concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your goals, preferences and day-to-day demands and agree which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and may include a mix of techniques over time.
The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Many people find online sessions useful because they can fit a session into a lunch break, avoid travel time, or choose shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Registered or accredited professionals can also adapt techniques for telephone or video work depending on what suits the client and the clinical aims.
