Lilian Shundi

Lilian Shundi is a counselling psychologist who uses evidence-based techniques to help people manage stress, anxiety and depression. She is registered with the HCPC, and brings four years of professional experience to her work. Lilian aims to give clear, practical support from the first sessions and helps people make sense of what they are going through.

She often uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, a hands-on approach that looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact. Lilian also blends psychodynamic ideas to explore recurring patterns and life themes that affect current struggles. Sessions focus on simple, usable strategies alongside opportunities to reflect on deeper causes.

Lilian works with common concerns such as relationship strain, family conflict, low self-esteem and motivation, and the emotional impact of divorce and separation. She also supports people dealing with loneliness, guilt, workplace stress and social anxiety. The work is tailored to each person, with attention to practical steps that fit day-to-day life.

She provides psychoeducation early in therapy so people understand why they feel stuck and what can help change that. Progress is reviewed regularly, and Lilian helps plan ways to keep improvements after formal therapy ends. Her style is straightforward, respectful and focused on helping people use their own strengths.

To begin, people follow the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule sessions according to Lilian’s availability. Sessions are conducted in English and Swahili for those who prefer either language.

How Lilian adapts therapeutic approaches for online care

Many of the techniques Lilian uses translate well to remote work. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours; in an online setting this often means setting clear tasks between sessions and reviewing small experiments together. Psychodynamic ideas look at recurring life patterns and relationships; online conversations can still uncover these patterns and link past experiences to present difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lilian treats therapy as a collaborative process and will discuss which methods fit your goals and preferences. Together you decide whether to emphasise skills-based CBT work, deeper psychodynamic reflection, or a mix of both as needs change.

Practical benefits of online therapy often include easier scheduling around work and family, cutting travel time, and the ability to have sessions from different locations. Because session formats are not listed here, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what will be available. Registered and accredited professionals, including counsellors and therapists, increasingly use remote sessions to make therapy more accessible and to help people keep progress while fitting sessions into everyday life.
