Lily Llewellyn, BACP

Lily Llewellyn is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She works with adults and young people on issues such as family conflict, LGBT concerns, grief and intimacy-related problems. Lily also lists a wide range of other areas she supports, including stress, anxiety, parenting, addictions and self-esteem.

She trained in person-centred approaches at Aberdeen University and completed postgraduate studies including an MSc in person-centred counselling and a PGDip. Lily has worked as a volunteer counsellor at ChildLine and The Bounds in Aberdeen, and she has experience as a school counsellor and in private practice. Her background also includes teaching English and studying anthropology, which shaped her interest in how people relate to one another.

In sessions she uses client-centred ideas alongside emotionally-focused and existential approaches. That means she listens closely to what matters to the person and pays attention to feelings and relationships. Conversations tend to look at connection, attachment, and the impact of life choices on everyday wellbeing.

Lily describes counselling as a practical space to understand emotions and responses. She helps people talk through family of origin issues, blended family concerns, fatherhood issues and communication problems. She also supports those coping with trauma, domestic violence, eating and food-related issues, and addictions.

People who meet with her can expect straightforward, reflective conversation aimed at making sense of difficult moments. For someone juggling parenting demands or strained household relationships, she focuses on clear steps and better understanding rather than abstract theory.
