About Lilian
HCPC registered counselling psychologist in the United Kingdom with 4 years of professional experience, specialising in stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns. Lilian Shundi offers direct psychological support and practical psychoeducation early in the work. She uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy as a core method and integrates psychodynamic ideas when useful.
She focuses on helping people recognise patterns that keep problems going. That often starts with clarifying thoughts and behaviours that feed anxiety or low mood. Lilian works with relationship and family difficulties by looking at how people communicate and how past experiences shape reactions.
Sessions include practical strategies for changing unhelpful thinking and for building confidence. Clients also receive information about why certain feelings occur and what helps them change. The therapist outlines simple steps to try between sessions to practise new skills.
Lilian draws on psychodynamic ideas to make sense of recurring themes and emotional patterns. This can help when people want to understand where certain feelings come from, not just how to manage them. The blend of approaches aims to offer short-term tools alongside deeper reflection.
Work also covers separation, forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation and workplace difficulties. Lilian conducts sessions in English and Swahili and is available to work with international clients. She uses a subscription model for sessions that can be cancelled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It uses structured exercises and practical strategies to reduce anxiety, improve mood and tackle avoidance. This approach is useful for stress, social anxiety, workplace issues and depression.Psychodynamic ideas look at recurring emotional patterns and how past experiences shape current reactions. That approach helps when someone wants to understand deeper roots of relationship and family difficulties alongside symptom-focused work.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and decide together which methods to try. That collaborative process can mean a mix of short-term skill-building and longer reflective work depending on what feels most helpful.
Confirm session formats before booking as the biography does not specify them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or offering an option when camera use or bandwidth is a concern. Registered or accredited professionals often adapt exercises and between-session tasks for remote delivery so progress can continue between meetings.
