Lily Lang (they/she):
Integrative Counsellor & Therapist (BACP)
Hello, my name is Lily Lang (they/she), I offer relational, integrative counselling and therapy on the reduced-rate/concessionary service at HQ.
My practice is grounded in the belief that healing is a relational process. Coming to therapy is an incredibly vulnerable thing to do and my priority is to create a therapeutic relationship that feels as holding as possible.
I recognise how hard it can be to take that first step and ask for help, either because we feel scared, ashamed, or unfamiliar with therapy itself. It is crucial that you feel free to explore whatever you need to within our sessions, and I strive to offer a space where you feel able to do this.
I have experience working with a variety of mental health challenges such as depression, anxiety, trauma, eating disorders, suicidal ideation, attachment, grief, psychosis, identity challenges, body image, substance abuse/addiction, and OCD. I have a particular focus on working with neurodivergent individuals as well as those in the queer community.
In terms of which type of therapy I offer, my practice is largely an integration of relational and psychodynamic therapy, meaning that much of our work will explore how past experiences may be affecting you in the present, with a focus on your relational experiences, both past and present.
Alongside this, I incorporate body psychotherapy as a way to access trauma or emotions through the body. I am also aware of the inherently Eurocentric nature of many traditional therapy modalities and endeavour to work from an anti-oppressive framework.
In my previous role, I worked as an Intuitive Eating Counsellor and Body Image Coach. I supported clients in healing from disordered eating and body image challenges from an anti-diet, anti-oppressive, and Health at Every Size framework. I also have a background working within the NHS as a Counsellor and Health and Wellbeing Coach.
I currently have availability in person on a Wednesday at the Haggerston branch. I also have a limited number of online slots on a Monday morning. My fees range from £50-£60 depending on income.
