About Lily

Lily Earle is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 15 years' experience working in public, charity and private settings. She helps people who are facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and life changes, along with issues such as addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping problems, and ADHD.

She works in a practical, collaborative way. Sessions focus on identifying what matters to the person and taking small, manageable steps towards clearer choices. Lily draws on cognitive behavioural ideas alongside acceptance and commitment, client-centred and existential approaches to support thinking and behaviour changes.

She treats problems step by step, separating tangled issues into more manageable parts. That might mean noticing unhelpful thoughts, experimenting with different responses, or working on values and practical routines. Lily aims to help people set goals and then review progress together.

Her background includes teaching on a BSc (Hons) counselling programme and supervision work. That experience informs a reflective, learning-focused practice that keeps the work flexible and evidence-informed. The BACP credential is listed as her professional membership.

Sessions combine listening with active techniques when useful. Some people prefer to talk things through, others prefer exercises and structured plans; Lily adapts the approach within her methods. She also helps with issues arising from caregiving, chronic illness, body image, attachment and impulsivity.

To start, she asks people to outline their main concerns and goals. That helps shape an initial plan for how the sessions will run and what practical steps to try next.

How CBT and ACT shape online sessions

Lily commonly uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy alongside client-centred ideas. CBT focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing practical changes in behaviour, which can help with anxiety, low mood and sleep issues. ACT works with values and acceptance, helping people make choices that fit what matters to them even when difficult feelings remain. Client-centred elements keep the conversation grounded in the person's own experience and priorities.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lily will talk with the person about their goals and preferences and then try methods that fit. She treats this as a collaborative process and reviews what is helping, adjusting techniques as needed.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. In general online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or medical needs, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also support using worksheets, thought records and values exercises during or between sessions, which fits well with CBT and ACT approaches.
