Overview

Hello, I’m Lilia Reis, a qualified counsellor dedicated to helping people find clarity, connection, and confidence in moments when life feels heavy or uncertain.

You might be here because something isn’t working as it used to, maybe you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward. My role is to help you unpack what’s happening, make sense of it, and support you in finding real, sustainable change.

What You Can Expect Working with Me

My approach is warm, practical, and collaborative. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all therapy.

With over a decade of experience across mental health, family violence, and trauma services, I offer a safe and supportive space to explore what’s happening and create meaningful change at your pace. Together, we create space to:

  • Understand and make sense of what you’re facing
  • Build coping tools for stress, anxiety, or low mood
  • Strengthen relationships, self-awareness, and resilience
  • Move toward the life and balance you want

I draw on evidence-based therapies such as ACT, CBT, and Compassion-Focused Therapy, always tailored to your individual needs.

Clients often describe my style as grounded, empathetic, and genuine, someone who helps you feel safe being honest, while gently guiding you toward growth and clarity.

These experiences have taught me the importance of empathy, trust, and meeting people exactly where they are.

A Space to Begin Again

Counselling with me offers a confidential, non-judgmental space where you can pause, breathe, and begin to reconnect with yourself.

If you’re ready to take the next step, whether that’s healing, clarity, or simply finding steadiness again, I’d be honoured to support you on that journey.
