About me
Modern life is difficult, with so many changes happening that feel overwhelming, out of our control. Maybe you are struggling with a recent ADHD diagnosis, perimenopause, mid life unemployment or divorce leading to anxiety, depression, burnout, sleeplessness, family difficulties, relationship problems. Or perhaps you’ve been holding everything together for years and have finally reached the point where you want to change things for the better.
I’m Lili, a trauma-informed psychotherapist and EMDR therapist. I offer a safe, down-to-earth space where you can talk honestly about what’s going on, without judgement or having to pretend you’re OK.
I am here to help you understand what you’re suffering, identify the patterns that are keeping you stuck and find realistic coping strategies and healing that feels right for you.
You don’t need to have a clear idea of what you need before you come. You just need to feel that you are ready for change.
I work in an integrative way, which means using both traditional talking therapies such as Humanistic, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, as well as somatic therapies such as attachment-focused EMDR to heal clients in a truly comprehensive way. This approach enables me to view clients as a ‘whole person’, recognising the interconnectedness of body, nervous system, emotions, and thoughts. This roots and branches approach leads clients to achieve real-life change that is lasting.
Attachment theory is a cornerstone of my work, and I know that understanding our family dynamics and earliest years is paramount to healing. Going to the heart of family issues helps you to see that present day problems around anxiety, depression, self limiting beliefs, relationship stress, emotional distress, and dysregulation may be connected to the past. I am highly culturally competent and trauma-informed in the truest sense. I have helped a hugely diverse range of clients in England, Singapore, Europe and the USA to feel better and live fuller lives.
I have worked extensively with adults and teens experiencing depression, anxiety, complex trauma, intercultural stress, academic and work stress, friendship and relationship issues, adult ADHD, shame, low self-esteem, phobia, trauma, loss and major life transitions. I truly enjoy working with childhood adversities, attachment disorders and women's life transitions - postnatal, perimenopause, retirement, sandwich generation.
As an ex-corporate marketer, I also work well with high functioning clients struggling with burnout, perfectionism, impostor syndrome and boundary setting.

Member organisations
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.
