Lilian Shundi, HCPC

Lilian Shundi is a counselling psychologist who uses evidence-based techniques to help people manage difficult life changes. She draws on four years of professional experience and holds HCPC registration in the United Kingdom. Lilian aims to make first sessions clear and informative, offering psychoeducation and practical ways to begin feeling steadier.

She commonly helps people facing stress, anxiety and low mood. She also supports those dealing with relationship strain, family conflict, problems at work, and challenges around self-esteem and confidence. Midlife crisis and questions about life purpose are listed among her focus areas.

Lilian works with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, using it to spot thought patterns and habits that keep problems going. She combines CBT with psychodynamic ideas to understand how past patterns can shape current reactions. Sessions include discussion, simple exercises and strategies to practise between meetings.

The therapist encourages clients to recognise their own strengths and to set achievable goals. She also guides people to notice small changes that build longer-term progress. At the end of therapy, Lilian helps plan ways to maintain gains and manage setbacks.

Her approach is practical and warm. She aims to make the therapy process understandable and purposeful. If you are thinking about starting, she invites you to take the first step and complete the brief matching questionnaire to arrange a session.

How Lilian adapts evidence-based work to online therapy

Many of the methods Lilian uses translate well to remote work. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing them out with small experiments. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, social anxiety and workplace stress and can include homework tasks and skills to practise between sessions.

Psychodynamic ideas help people see recurring patterns and the emotional meaning behind them. This approach supports people who want to understand how past relationships influence present reactions, including relationship difficulties and family conflict.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Lilian will work collaboratively to decide which methods suit your goals and preferences, and she will adjust the plan as you progress. Together you can try different techniques and keep what helps most.

If you are considering online therapy, please confirm the exact session formats available before booking because formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people continue continuity of care when they are away from their usual location.
