About Lily
Lily Earle is a counsellor who works from a narrative and person-centred perspective. She draws on her 15 years of experience to help people make sense of difficult events and find ways to move forward. Lily aims to create a warm, non-judgemental space where someone can reflect and plan small, practical steps for change.
She works collaboratively and adapts her methods to each person's needs. Sessions might include looking at personal stories, noticing unhelpful thinking patterns, or using mindfulness and acceptance skills to manage strong feelings.
Background and approach
The focus is on what the client wants to change and on building on strengths already present in their life. Lily has worked across the public, charitable and personal sectors and brings that variety into her practice. She believes people have resilience and inner resources even when they feel overwhelmed.
Her role is to help name problems, organise the different parts of an issue, and decide where to begin. Practical aims in sessions include identifying goals and testing decisions in small steps. Lily may reflect back what she hears, help clarify confusing feelings, and support people to try new ways of coping.
Her approach stays flexible so it fits changing needs over time. People come to Lily for a range of concerns including stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addiction, trauma, relationship and intimacy issues, eating and sleep difficulties, parenting strain, and work-related challenges. She holds membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, noted as BACP, and conducts work from the United Kingdom.

Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Lily directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
How narrative and acceptance approaches work online
Clients can expect a blend of narrative and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) ideas in online sessions. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and gently separates problems from the person, helping to find alternative ways to describe difficult experiences. This approach can help with issues like grief, identity questions and relationship or family problems.ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and on choosing actions that match what matters most. It is useful for anxiety, depression, stress and coping with long-term health concerns. Lily also uses person-centred listening to make space for what matters to the client and to build a trusting working relationship.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with you about your goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together you can try methods and adjust them as needed so the work fits your life.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is useful when visual connection helps, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat work well for short check-ins or flexible scheduling. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and travel.
