James Lilly

My hours of availability are Monday to Friday 10am until 8pm. 

Whilst a number of timeslots are taken on these days, I do have a degree of flexibility and will work with you to find a day and time that suits you best. 

As a Certified Counsellor and registered member of the BACP, I'm passionate about promoting positive mental health and happiness. Whether working online or face to face, I aim to provide you with a warm, safe, confidential space where I will walk alongside you to understand what you're going through, what you need and how we can best work together to achieve your goals. Counselling requires a degree of vulnerability so I promise to bring my authentic, non judgmental self to our sessions as I honor the innately human aspect of the relationship and your own unique, individual characteristics, helping you do the same. I also believe in transparency, so I promote an open and honest dialogue from start to finish, to allow fairness and trust at every opportunity, allowing us to make the best decisions for you. I believe working at this level of depth, with your wellbeing and development at the heart of everything we do, helps provide the right environment for you to flourish.

I've practiced this approach in a variety of settings, including life coaching for underprivileged young adults; A behavior change therapist in a domestic abuse agency: And as a general counsellor for well known mental health charities as well as my private practice.

In addition to my online services, I'm now able to offer face to face counselling from my home in Cornwall. So whether you prefer to work via online video, telephone, in person, or a combination of these things, I'm confident we can find something that works for you.

So anything you're going through right now that's led you to this place, I welcome you making contact if you have any questions or would like to book an initial session.

Our first session together is a consultation and is free of charge. 

Its an hour long so provides a good opportunity for us to understand your current situation, why you've come to counselling and working together to identify what you would like to gain from the experience. 

Its also about answering any questions you might have, as well as getting to know each other a bit and talking about how we might work best together to help you achieve your goals.
