Lily Earle

Lily Earle is a counsellor with 15 years' experience who uses a blend of practical therapies to help people move forward. She works in a warm, non-judgemental way and encourages clients to reflect on what matters. Lily holds BACP membership, which is shown as BACP in her profile.

Lily takes a collaborative, pluralistic approach. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centred ideas, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Existential and Mindfulness methods and adapts these to each person. Sessions focus on clear goals and small steps that fit a person's life.

She has worked across public, charitable and private sectors and brings experience of supporting people through grief, anxiety, depression and major life changes. Lily also helps with issues such as body image, addiction, trauma and relationship and intimacy concerns. She aims to help people untangle complicated problems and decide where to start.

Lily believes clients are experts in their own lives and that therapy can help them use their own strengths. In sessions she mirrors and reflects what she hears, helping clients gain clarity so they can make decisions that suit them. Her style mixes listening with practical techniques when these are useful.

The work can include talking through feelings, building coping strategies, and re-evaluating patterns that no longer serve someone. Lily aims to remain flexible as needs change, and to support each person to take steps toward a more satisfying life.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values and take small steps towards them. It focuses on accepting difficult feelings while committing to actions that matter, which can help with anxiety, depression and life transitions.

Client-Centred Therapy centres on being heard and understood. The counsellor provides reflective listening and empathy to help someone explore their thoughts and feelings at their own pace, useful for building self-esteem and processing grief.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lily will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means trying practical strategies or slower reflective work depending on what the person needs.

If you are considering online therapy, check the current session options before booking as formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make fitting therapy into a busy week easier, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Different approaches lend themselves to different rhythms of work, and a therapist will help choose a way of meeting that suits everyday life.
