About Lilian

Lilian Shundi works on stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, family conflict, self-esteem and depression using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and psychodynamic ideas. She is registered with the HCPC and has four years of professional experience.

Lilian is a counselling psychologist who offers psychological support and psychoeducation, especially at the start of work together. She uses CBT to help people spot the thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and to try practical changes. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to consider past patterns that affect how people relate to themselves and others.

Sessions focus on clear steps as well as understanding. That might mean setting small, manageable goals, testing unhelpful thoughts, or looking at relationship patterns. Lilian aims to help people build confidence and motivation alongside reducing symptoms such as low mood or anxiety.

She has experience addressing communication problems, divorce and separation, forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, life purpose and midlife crisis. Workplace issues and social anxiety or phobia are also within her areas of practice.

Lilian works in English and Swahili and accepts international clients. She uses a subscription payment model that can be cancelled at any time and recommends people confirm session formats before booking.

How her therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

She uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and to test practical changes that reduce symptoms such as anxiety and low mood. CBT is task-focused and can include homework like thought records or graded exposure to build confidence.

She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at recurring relationship patterns and how past experiences influence current feelings and behaviour. This can help with understanding repeated difficulties and improving emotional awareness.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss needs, goals and preferences and agree together which methods to try. That collaborative decision helps shape each session and the plan between sessions.

The biography does not specify which session formats are used, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week and reduce travel time. They can also allow shorter check-ins or flexible scheduling to suit work and family commitments, and they are used by many registered or accredited professionals to maintain continuity of care.
