Lillie Perree

An integrative-relational psychotherapeutic counsellor means I work with a range of different counselling and psycho-therapeutic theories. This approach is extremely effective in valuing the uniqueness of each client. 

I am trained to Internal family systems to the highest level 3 (the official training please do check your therapist has this training), sensory motor psychotherapy and undertaking 3year somatic experiencing training.

I currently work both in private practice and in Khiron Clinic Harley Street a day clinic for clients wanting to recover from trauma.

Please note I am now offering group therapy both in person and online.  The first is a women's ealing circle (inclusive welcoming anyone who identifies trans/non-binary)

The first will be a woman's group (inclusive welcoming trans and non-binary people)

Invitation to Brave Space
Together we will create brave space Because there is no such thing as a “safe space”

We exist in the real world

We all carry scars and we have all caused wounds In this space

We seek to turn down the volume of the outside world We amplify voices that fight to be heard else where

We call each other to more truth and love

We have the right to start somewhere and continue to grow

We have the responsibility to examine what we think we know

We will not be perfect This space will not be perfect It will not always be what we wish it to be

But it will be our brave space together And we will work on it side by side

I work with the body(somatically)- body responses often can uncover hidden states, emotion and trauma. Sensory Motor psychotherapy is holistic and studies the relationship between the mind and body in regard to psychological past.   Somatic experiencing was developed by Peter Levine a way of processing body memories and working with the nervous system.  Internal Family Systems is an approach which values and works with different parts of us.

Up to date research shows the old talking therapies and separating mind and body can be ineffective.  We will build an awareness of how body positions stature and responses can impact on thought process and vice versa.  With awareness and integration we can better live in the present moment.

I have had extra training and experience with

Trauma - trauma can show up in lots of different ways often disconnection us from our body's symptoms such as self destructive behaviour (anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, addictions),  disassociation, anxiety-pannick attacks and overwhelming feeling like sadness or anger   I can work with you to help overcome these symptoms and guide you through a process of stabilisation grief and healing.

Gender, sexuality and relationship diversity-  Some clients come to me want to explore sexuality or gender and what that means to them.  Others come from LGBT+ community and I support them with coming out, coming out later in life (and/or exploring this and what it means),self acceptance, systemic shame, discrimination and self image. 

Eating disorders and body image-I have experience in working with disordered eating and body dysmorphia.  I attend the body dysmorphia/OCD action conferences and training yearly.  I work with eating disorder recovery. 

Relationship/attachment-  I have trained with developmental psychology and attachment issues.  ranging from healing after unhealthy relationship,  struggling to form secure relationships, co-dependence, relationship with self and family dynamics.

I have worked for many organisations including:

Khiron Clinic- I currently work at this day clinic alongside my private practice work.  Here I run groups in psychoeducation and neuroscience for trauma as well as a range of other group activities and creative processes.

NHS- i worked within the NHS as a psychotheraputic counselling supporting people presenting with anxiety, depression, feeling of sadness and isolation, work stress, body image issues and eating disorders
Clini Q- I work for a trans and non binary health and wellbeing service as a psychotherapeutic counsellor with clients dealing with issues around gender dysphoria relationships systemic trauma
