Lily Earle, BACP

Lily Earle is an integrative psychotherapist who combines clinical practice with teaching and supervision on the BSc (Hons) Counselling programme at the University of East London. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and brings 15 years of experience supporting adults and children across public, charitable and private services. Lily aims to offer a warm, nonjudgmental space where people can reflect, reconnect with their inner resources and move forward with renewed hope.

She is continually interested in human resilience and the ways people adapt to physical pain, emotional trauma and life transitions. Lily works collaboratively and pluralistically, tailoring therapy to each person rather than applying a single method. Her practice draws on person-centred care, existential thinking and cognitive behavioural techniques, alongside evidence-informed approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness-based work when appropriate.

In sessions Lily acts as a reflective guide, supporting clients to identify priorities, disentangle layered problems and make choices aligned with their values. She adapts her approach as needs shift, balancing emotional exploration with practical problem solving. Lily invites people to take the first step toward change and offers encouragement and practical support for the steps that follow.

Approaches and Online Support from a Registered Therapist

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts and feelings are present. It is often used for anxiety, stress and life transitions where a focus on values and committed action supports change.

Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the centre of the process, emphasising empathy, active listening and the client’s own capacity for insight. This approach can be helpful for building self-esteem, processing grief and navigating relationship or identity concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. It tends to be practical and structured, and is commonly used for anxiety, depression and coping skills development.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Lily will work collaboratively with each client to explore which methods fit best with their needs, goals and preferences, adapting the mix of approaches over time.

Online therapy offers flexible access to registered professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family and location, and allow therapists to provide consistent support for clients who prefer remote care.
