Lily Earle

Lily Earle is a counsellor and psychotherapist with a practical, flexible style. She works from the belief that people already hold many of the resources they need to cope. Lily aims to offer a warm, non-judgemental space where clients can reflect, make sense of things, and move forward at their own pace.

She draws on a range of approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and adapts these to each person. Sessions focus on what matters most to the individual and on small steps that help with everyday life.

Over 15 years in counselling and psychotherapy have included work across public, charitable and private sectors. Lily has experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, grief, depression and eating and food-related issues, among other concerns. Her background also includes lecturing and supervising on a BSc (Hons) counselling programme and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

In session she aims to mirror and reflect what she hears, helping clients untangle layered problems and identify clear goals. Conversations may be practical and problem-focused at times, and more exploratory at others, depending on what the person needs.

Lily encourages a collaborative, pluralistic approach so therapy is shaped by the client’s priorities. She describes her role as a navigator who supports decision-making and helps people use their own strengths to find ways forward.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasises values and practical action. It helps people notice difficult thoughts or feelings and still take steps that matter to them. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and uses short, practical exercises to change unhelpful habits. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the therapeutic relationship and on listening, helping people feel understood and find their own solutions.

Finding the right approach is often a joint process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals and preferences, and together they will try ways of working that fit the person. That can mean mixing elements from different approaches depending on what helps most.

The biography does not specify which online session formats are used, so check the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow sessions from a quiet space that suits the client. It also makes it simpler to maintain continuity when circumstances change. Registered or accredited professionals will help adapt exercises and homework for remote sessions so the work remains practical and focused.
