Lily Earle, BACP

Lily Earle is a counsellor and psychotherapist who uses an integrative approach to help people make practical change. She holds BACP accreditation, and brings 15 years of experience in a range of settings. Her work is down-to-earth and collaborative, and she aims to create a warm, non-judgemental space where people can reflect and move forward.

She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centred methods, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Existential and Mindfulness approaches. Lily adapts what she does to the person in front of her rather than following a single model. That means sessions can include talking, reflective exercises, and practical strategies tailored to each concern.

People come to her with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression and life changes. She also supports those facing relationship challenges, issues around intimacy and jealousy, addictions, eating and sleeping problems, and work-related strain including compassion fatigue. Additional areas she attends to include attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, body image and caregiver stress.

Lily often helps clients work through trauma, abuse and difficulties linked to chronic illness or cancer. She encourages setting clear goals, then breaking complex problems into manageable steps. Her style is patient and flexible, with an emphasis on helping people use their existing strengths to move towards the life they want.

If someone is unsure where to begin she offers a straightforward process to identify priorities and decide what to try first. Prospective clients are invited to ask questions and to use the continue button on this profile to begin the matching process.

Therapeutic approaches online and how they help

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and practical action. It helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing behaviour that aligns with what matters to them. Client-Centred Therapy centres the individual's experience, offering empathic listening and space to make sense of feelings and life choices. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and offers concrete exercises to change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That might mean combining techniques and adjusting the balance between talking, skills practice and reflective work as progress is made.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available when you match, as options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, reduce travel time and allow quicker check-ins between in-person appointments. Some approaches lend themselves to short practical tasks or exercises that you can do between sessions, so online sessions can support that ongoing practice. Registered or accredited professionals can help plan how therapy will work in your routine before you book.
