Lily Earle, BACP

Lily Earle is a BACP counsellor who brings a collaborative and flexible approach to therapy. She draws on different models to help clients reflect, decide on goals, and take practical steps towards change. Her manner is warm and non-judgemental, aimed at helping people feel understood and able to move forward.

With 15 years of experience across public, charity and private settings, Lily has worked with a wide range of life issues. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and depression, and she also helps when life changes, relationships or addiction cause strain. Living with health challenges such as chronic pain, illness or disability is one of the concerns she lists among her clinical focus areas.

She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Client-Centred and existential ideas, plus mindfulness and narrative approaches. Lily adapts these methods to the person in front of her, choosing ways of working that fit each client's needs and preferences.

In sessions she helps people untangle complex, overlapping problems one step at a time. She works with clients to set clear goals, then supports practical decision-making and reflective re-evaluation so progress can be made at a manageable pace.

Her practice treats the client as the expert on their life and aims to mirror and reflect what is observed in order to promote clarity. The overall aim is to help people reconnect with their resources and find more satisfying ways of living.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while focusing on what matters most to them. It is useful when someone wants to change how they relate to pain, loss or persistent worry. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and helps people try new ways of responding; it is often used for anxiety, low mood and unhelpful habits. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a warm, non-judgemental relationship where the client leads the pace and content of sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lily works collaboratively to identify which methods fit a person's goals, needs and everyday life. She adapts tools and exercises so they feel useful and manageable rather than prescriptive.

Session formats are not listed in the original biography, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Many people find online therapy helps them fit sessions into busy routines, reduces travel time, and makes brief check-ins easier to schedule. Different ways of meeting can suit different practical needs - for example, audio-only can be less demanding on bandwidth, while video allows more visual connection. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor online work to focus on coping with chronic illness, managing stress, or building practical skills for day-to-day life.
