Meet Lilian
Counsellor and Therapist
I am a BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) Accredited member and ACC (Association of Christian Counsellors) member, with a passion to help people make lasting positive changes to their emotional wellbeing.
My approach to therapy is Humanistic and Integrative; I value and respect each client irrespective of his or her culture and background. I believe that every one of us has the capacity to grow internally, to achieve our personal goals. My job is to facilitate and support you to make sense of the issues you are facing and help you to remove any blockages that hinder your inner potential in order for you to live a fulfilling life.



How I work
Each session with me is an opportunity for you to be truly heard in a way that can be deeply healing. I support you to explore your thoughts, emotions and behavioural patterns so that you can recognise, accept and become more aware about aspects of yourself.
My aim is to empower you through counselling and to give you the tools to understand yourself better as well as to deal with problems such as stress, low self-esteem, anger, depression, anxiety and relationship issues.
Qualifications
My counselling experience spans charitable organisations and both public and private healthcare settings, including the NHS. My work within multicultural agencies, alongside personal lived experience, brings a thoughtful understanding of cultural identity and the pressures that can be experienced within minority communities.
As a BACP accredited and ACC registered member, a safe, open-minded and non-judgemental space is offered where you can speak freely about any experience, including matters relating to spirituality.
