About Lilia
Lilia Sykes offers calm, steady support for people facing anxiety, stress, low self‑esteem, depression and major life changes. She works with concerns such as relationship strain, grief, trauma, addictions and issues around identity and intimacy. Lilia speaks plainly and listens closely so people can talk without judgement and start to feel more able to cope.
Lilia is a BACP counsellor practising from the United Kingdom with eight years of experience.
Background and approach
She places a person‑centred approach at the heart of her work, giving people space to bring what matters most and to set the pace for therapy. That core approach is paired with clear tools from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy when they fit the person’s goals.
Sessions often include practical strategies for managing anxiety, improving sleep, handling career or parenting stress, and addressing issues such as codependency, perfectionism or chronic illness. Mindfulness techniques and motivational interviewing are also available to support behaviour change and self‑compassion. Lilia is used to working with the ripple effects of trauma, family conflict, loss and long‑term health challenges.
She also supports people dealing with body image, ADHD traits, attachment and abandonment worries, and isolation or loneliness. People can choose voice calls, video, live chat or message‑based sessions depending on what suits them best. Lilia aims to be flexible with scheduling and welcomes questions before starting therapy.

Online support
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that match your needs. Decisions about pace, techniques and what to try next are made collaboratively so the plan fits your life.
Online sessions can be arranged as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or message‑based therapy. Video is useful when visual connection helps the conversation, phone calls use less bandwidth and can be easier for brief check‑ins, while live chat or messaging suits people who prefer writing or need flexible timing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments and help people keep continuity with their care when travel or scheduling is difficult.
