Lilian Shundi

Lilian Shundi is a counselling psychologist registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) in the United Kingdom. She has four years of professional experience supporting people with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, low self-esteem and depression. She also works with people dealing with workplace issues, social anxiety, and life purpose questions.

Lilian uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, explaining how thoughts and behaviours keep problems going and working with clients to try small, practical changes. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to help people understand recurring patterns that affect relationships and self-view. Sessions include psychoeducation about what keeps difficulties going and clear strategies to try between meetings.

Her style is collaborative: she treats the person as the expert in their own life and focuses on practical steps that fit daily routines. Lilian helps clients name the factors that affect their mood and relationships and then set realistic actions to test new ways of coping. She pays attention to feelings of guilt, shame, isolation and the challenges of separation.

Lilian offers support in both English and Swahili and will work with international clients where that fits the arrangements. Costs vary by location and sessions are provided through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the online therapy options button.

She aims to help people keep progress going after therapy by planning practical steps and follow-up strategies.

Approaches used and how online sessions are arranged

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It breaks down difficult problems into manageable steps and uses practical experiments to test new ways of thinking and behaving. Psychodynamic work looks at repeating patterns and past influences that shape how someone relates to others and themselves; it can help make sense of long-standing relationship and self-esteem issues.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Lilian will discuss the options with each person, look at what they want to change, and decide together which techniques to try first. That collaborative process means approaches can be adjusted as therapy progresses.

The biography does not list specific session formats. Please confirm the available online session types before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove the need to travel. Many people find it useful for maintaining momentum between life changes and for trying practical strategies in day-to-day settings.
