Lily Earle

Lily Earle is a counsellor and BACP member with 15 years' experience. She aims to offer a warm, non-judgemental space where people can reflect and take practical steps forward. Lily presents herself as a guide who mirrors and reflects, helping clients notice what already exists inside them and use it to move on.

She uses a range of approaches and adapts them to each person. That means sessions might include mindful breathing, values work, looking at thoughts and behaviours, or sitting with larger life questions. Lily describes a collaborative, pluralistic style where the client helps direct the work and the counsellor offers tools and perspective.

Practical problems and deeper life struggles are both addressed. She helps break issues down into manageable steps and supports decision-making and goal setting. The focus is on what the client wants to change and on small shifts that add up over time.

Her background includes work across public, charity and private sectors and teaching on a counselling degree. This variety informs a flexible, experience-based approach rather than a single method. Lily stresses that different people need different things as therapy progresses.

People often bring stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, relationship issues or anger to sessions. She also works with concerns such as eating and sleeping problems, trauma and addiction, caregiving stress, ADHD and career questions. Lily encourages hope and practical coping strategies so people can begin to live differently.

How Lily uses therapy approaches online and in practice

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, committed actions even when feelings are difficult. It is useful for worries about life direction, stress and problems that keep coming back. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and acceptance so people can make sense of their own experience and find their own solutions; it can help with grief, low self-esteem and relationship issues. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns, which is helpful for anxiety, anger and sleeping or eating problems.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Lily will explore your goals and preferences and then suggest ways of working together. This is a collaborative process that may shift over time as needs change and progress is made.

If you are considering online therapy, please confirm the session formats available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around family life, work commitments or travel, and it can allow shorter check-ins where needed. It also lets people use mindfulness exercises, values work and behavioural tasks between sessions, so therapy can link more directly to everyday life.
