Hello and welcome, my Name is Lilia, and I am looking forward to working with you!

I offer person-centred counselling as a core in my therapeutic work, this means you will find a warm, compassionate and non-judgemental environment  during our sessions. 

My additional training, research and experience allow me to integrate various therapeutic approaches and resources into our sessions to match your individual needs.

We will work at your pace and explore new topics when you feel ready. I will respect your confidentiality, your time and personal boundaries.

Besides being a professional counsellor, I'm a friendly human being, with a multi-cultural background, who is genuinely interested in people and their uniqueness, respecting diversity of cultures, beliefs and lifestyles.

I have been working with clients in person locally, in Preston and surrounding areas, since 2017. Home visits are charged at £80.

Since 2020 I mostly work with clients nationwide and worldwide, by telephone and video sessions. Remote sessions are charged at £40

I believe therapeutic counselling should be affordable and offer concessions for clients on low incomes, we will discuss and set the rate together based on your circumstances.

My experience includes helping clients with the following: self-esteem, anxiety, stress, compassion fatigue, coping with long term illness and chronic pain, grief and bereavement, depression, adult adhd and autism, addictions, sleep problems, intrusive thoughts, relationships, conflict resolution, miscarriage and termination, decision making, coping with life changes, living and studying abroad, inner critic and inner child work, self image, childhood trauma, eating disorders, parenting, anger management, communication and boundaries, and much more.

I am approved to work with a number of insurance companies, and work with Employee Assistance Programmes. 

My clients' age ranges between 18 and 70+, inclusive of all genders, cultures, religious beliefs, ethnic and social backgrounds, and I am very proud of all of them for taking this important step to self-exploration and therapy. 

Waiting for your first counselling session can be daunting and scary. So, how about we have a quick chat before we start? I offer my clients a free 15 minute telephone or video consultation where you can ask questions, talk me through your therapy goals and see if you feel we could work together, because your voice matters.

I really look forward to meeting you and happy to answer any questions.
