About Lilian
Lilian Shundi works from an evidence-based approach, using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside psychodynamic ideas to help people cope with stress at work and in life. She is HCPC registered and brings four years of professional experience in mental health. Lilian speaks English and Swahili and accepts clients in the United Kingdom and internationally.
She focuses on common problems such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and workplace issues. Lilian also helps people navigate relationship difficulties, communication problems, divorce and separation, and feelings of guilt or shame. Sessions often begin with practical psychoeducation to set clear goals and expectations.
Lilian uses CBT to spot unhelpful thoughts and patterns, then works with people to try new ways of thinking and acting. She draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences can influence current behaviour and relationships. The pace and focus are adapted to each person’s needs.
Clients will work on practical strategies for everyday life, including techniques for managing stress, improving confidence, and rebuilding motivation. Lilian encourages people to notice progress and to develop plans for maintaining gains after therapy ends.
She invites people to take the first step by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling sessions. Lilian aims to create a collaborative space where people feel respected and supported as they work toward clearer goals.
How CBT and psychodynamic ideas work online
CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing patterns of thinking and behaviour. It uses real-life exercises and step-by-step techniques that can be practised between sessions to manage anxiety, low mood and workplace stress.Psychodynamic ideas look at how earlier experiences and relationship patterns influence current feelings and reactions. This approach helps people make sense of repeated difficulties and improve how they relate to others and to themselves.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with clients about their goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. This is a collaborative process that can be adjusted over time based on what helps most.
Please confirm the specific session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make work-friendly timing simpler to arrange so people can balance therapy with their job and daily life.
