Lily Earle

Lily Earle is an integrative psychotherapist who combines diverse therapy approaches to support people through life’s challenges. She also serves as a lecturer and supervisor on the BSc (hons) Counselling programme at the University of East London and is a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP).

With 15 years of experience working with adults and children across the public, charitable and private sectors, she aims to create an open, confidential and warm environment free of judgement where clients can reflect and move forward with hope.

She values human potential and has seen how people adapt and recover from physical pain and emotional trauma. Her practice is collaborative, pluralistic and creative - drawing on models such as person-centred, existential, cognitive-behavioural therapy and psychodynamic work - and tailoring methods to each person’s needs.

Lily offers a personalised, flexible approach that respects the view that clients are experts on their own lives. She sees one of her roles as a navigator - remaining responsive to individual needs, mirroring and reflecting what she notices, and helping clients gain clarity so they can make the most of their inner resources and experiences.

Recognising that life problems are often complex and multi-layered, she works step-by-step with clients to disentangle those layers, identify goals and use reflective decision-making to discover practical ways forward. Her intention is to respond to each person’s needs as empathically and flexibly as possible, adjusting style across the course of therapy as what is helpful evolves.

Counselling and psychotherapy offer an opportunity to focus on one’s life narrative and explore more satisfying ways of living. By taking the first step to seek support, people begin the process of change, and Lily welcomes contact from those who want to ask questions or arrange an initial appointment.
