About me
My name is Lilian Lin, I am a BACP accredited member, bilingual counsellor with a passion to help people make lasting positive changes to their emotional wellbeing. Sometimes talking to those closest about your life and anything confusing, painful or uncomfortable is not an easy thing to do. That’s why it can be helpful to talk to a counsellor; someone trained, experienced and not emotionally involved, to listen without judgement or imposing any advice.
My approach to therapy is humanistic, which means I value and respect each client irrespective of his or her culture and background. I believe that every one of us has the capacity to grow internally, to achieve our personal goals. My job is to facilitate and support you to make sense of the issues you are facing, and to remove any blocks that hinder your inner potential in order for you to live a fulfilling life.
Each session with me is an opportunity for you to be truly heard in a way that can be deeply healing. I help you to explore your thoughts, emotions and behavioural patterns so that you can recognise, accept and become more aware of buried aspects of yourself.
My aim is to empower you through counselling and to give you the tools to understand yourself better as well as to deal with problems such as stress, low self-esteem, anger, depression, anxiety and relationship issues.
I offer face-to-face or through Zoom meeting room, open-ended therapy (Long term) and Brief Therapy involves 6 or 12 sessions (short term).

Member organisations
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred).
Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision.
Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training.
All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
