About
Lilian Rayner Registered Member MBACP (Snr Accred)
With over 25 years of extensive experience in counselling, I am dedicated to helping individuals navigate life's challenges. I offer compassionate, confidential counselling to help you navigate life’s challenges. I believe that good rapport is at the heart of effective therapy, and my active, engaged approach is all about creating a safe space for you to be truly heard.
​
Using a person-centred approach, I will offer you warmth, empathy, and positive regard for who you are. We'll work together to explore your feelings and thoughts, building a trusted relationship where you can grow. As an integrative counsellor, I draw from different therapeutic approaches to create a unique experience tailored to your needs. This means we will find what works best for you, helping you reframe your thoughts and reduce emotional intensity, so you can find a way forward.​
​I believe we are all unique, and so is our journey in therapy. My personal mission is to offer a space where you can feel understood and accepted, without judgment.
​
I don’t believe in being a silent therapist. I actively engage with you because a strong, open relationship is fundamental to our work. While I will always respect your pace and only ever go where you want to go, I may gently challenge you at times. This is simply to help you gain new perspectives and create the space for insight and personal growth.
​
Whether you're struggling with bereavement, anger, a lack of confidence, or just struggling to cope with every-day life, I will work collaboratively with you. Together, we'll combine the most effective therapeutic tools for your individual needs. We will not be confined to a single approach; instead, we will work with the approach that best suits you and your goals.
