About Me
My Practice
Welcome. My name is Lillie, I am a psychotherapeutic counsellor and therapist and member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists. I work with a diverse client group of young people aged 16+, adults and older adults. I have experience in many different areas (Inc Trauma) and therapeutic approaches which means, together, we can tailor therapy to fit your individual needs.
It is important that the relationship with your therapist is one of empathy and warmth, and that you feel comfortable.
The main therapies I use in my practice are
Internal Family Systems and Somatic Experiencing: this is because I have seen how powerful these modalities can transform someones life when used together.
Healing Circles Group Therapy
Exciting new opportunities for group work. I will be starting both online and in person group session with a co-facilitator.
Please contact me to register interest
We will used IFS, Somatic and a group work to create a healing circle and community
The first will be a woman's group (inclusive welcoming trans and non-binary people)
Together we will create brave space
Because there is no such thing as a “safe space”
We exist in the real world
We all carry scars and we have all caused wounds
In this space
We seek to turn down the volume of the outside world
We amplify voices that fight to be heard elsewhere
We call each other to more truth and love
We have the right to start somewhere and continue to grow
We have the responsibility to examine what we think we know
We will not be perfect
This space will not be perfect
It will not always be what we wish it to be
But it will be our brave space together
And we will work on it side by side
My experience
My background is in theatre which is where I first started seeing the impact creativity had on mental health and well-being. For this reason, I like to bring creativity and fun into my work. I love yoga and dance which fuels my interest in work with the body. Mindfulness
and meditation are tools I find helpful in assisting us living in the present. My other experience is:
Khiron Day Clinic Harley Street- Alongside Private Practice I work at Khiron Trauma Recovery Day clinic. Here I work 1 to 1 and hold group works including movement, lectures, process group etc. https://khironclinics.com/people/
NHS - I worked within the NHS as a Psychotherapeutic Counsellor supporting people presenting with anxiety, depression, body image issues and eating disorders
Clini Q - I worked as a Psychotherapeutic Counsellor for a trans and non-binary health and wellbeing service
Maytree - I volunteered for years supporting clients with suicidal ideation within a residential respite centre. Clients often presented with other issues such difficulty with relationships, anxiety, depression and trauma
Terrance Higgins Trust (Sex Workers in Sexual Health) - supporting a diverse range of clients working within the sex industry. Training included working with clients with HIV, Relationships, Sexual and Gender Diversity.
Crisis - supporting vulnerable women and people with addiction
“All the parts of me,I once abandoned I decided one day I would walk them back home one by one And when all the piece of me were finally together finding themselves under the same roof once again I realised I had always been beautiful
