About Lily

Lily Earle is a BACP counsellor with 15 years of experience working in the public, charitable and private sectors in the United Kingdom. She supports adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, addiction and parenting strains. She also works with people coping with relationship and family problems, trauma and abuse, and a range of body image and eating concerns.

Lily draws on several therapy models to help people untangle layered problems. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), client-centred approaches and mindfulness work alongside existential ideas. Sessions focus on practical steps and on understanding how patterns developed over time.

Her way of working is collaborative and pluralistic. She treats each person as the expert on their life and helps them decide what to try first. That might mean talking through feelings, testing different behaviours, or reflecting on values and goals.

Lily often helps people break complex issues into manageable steps. She supports goal-setting and a reflective decision-making process to identify what to change and how to act. This is offered alongside conversational listening and reflective feedback.

People describe using her practice to address practical parenting challenges, work stress, relationship strain and ongoing mental health concerns. She welcomes questions before booking and asks people to choose their first appointment through the site’s matching and scheduling process.

How sessions work

How Lily’s approaches translate to online therapy

Lily commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) in her work. ACT focuses on identifying personal values and taking committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and life changes. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and supports testing different ways of thinking and acting to reduce distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Sessions are practical and collaborative, and methods can be adjusted as needs change over time.

Session formats are not listed on the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people choose online sessions because they fit around work and family, can make shorter check-ins easier, and reduce travel time. The focus online is the same as in person: identifying manageable steps, practising new skills and reviewing progress so therapy fits into day-to-day life rather than adding extra demands.
