Lily Earle, BACP

Lily Earle is a BACP counsellor who combines several therapy styles to support people through difficult times. She emphasises a warm, non-judgemental space where people can reflect and begin to move forward. Her approach is collaborative and tailored to each person’s needs. With 15 years of experience, Lily draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centred methods, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness alongside existential ideas. She adapts her work to the individual, using different tools depending on what is most helpful. Sessions might focus on weighing options, noticing patterns, or practising new ways of responding. Lily believes clients are experts in their own lives, and she positions herself as a guide and sounding board. She listens, mirrors what she hears, and helps people gain clarity so they can use their own resources more effectively. This practical orientation aims to break complex problems into manageable steps. Her practice covers a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, addiction, relationship and intimacy issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strains, anger, career challenges, bipolar, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. She also supports work on attachment, body image, chronic illness, caregiver stress, codependency and related issues. People who prefer a flexible, person-centred way of working may find her style helpful. Lily encourages hopeful, gradual change and works with each person to set realistic goals.

How Lily’s approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and practise small actions in those directions; it is useful when life feels stuck or values feel unclear. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a warm, accepting space where the person leads the pace and focus of sessions; this can help with self-esteem, grief and identity questions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical steps to change unhelpful patterns, which can be helpful for anxiety, mood and coping skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lily aims to collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She will adapt the mix of ACT, client-centred, CBT and mindfulness ideas as the work unfolds so the plan stays relevant to the client’s needs.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow check-ins during work breaks. It can also offer quieter options such as audio-only sessions when video is not needed, or shorter focused meetings for practical problem-solving. Registered or accredited professionals can use these ways of working to help maintain continuity and progress across sessions.
