Taking the first step isn’t always easy
You might be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, anxious or unsure of what to do next. You may not even be completely clear on why things don’t feel quite right-and that’s okay.
More people than ever are choosing to seek support, recognising that it’s okay not to be okay, and that change is possible with the right help.
It’s at times like this that we need professional help. I can help.
How I can help
We all experience challenges differently, and there’s no one-size-fits-all solution. With a background in Coaching, Learning and Development and several years of experience as a therapist, I bring a practical and personalised approach to our work together. I will help you understand what’s going on beneath the surface, your thoughts, emotions and patterns, and support you in making meaningful, lasting change.
Together, we can work on developing clarity, confidence and the ability to navigate life’s challenges in a way that feels more manageable and empowering.
My approach
Counselling works best when you feel comfortable and understood.Every therapist works differently, and finding the right fit is important. My approach is integrative, which means I tailor the way we work to suit you. I combine different therapeutic approaches to ensure our sessions are both supportive and practical, helping you get real value from each one.

Frequently asked questions
What does the 15-minute telephone consultation consist of?
Our initial 15-minute phone consultation is an opportunity to discuss your reasons for seeking help and your expectations of counselling. I will explain how we will work together and clarify any queries you have– for example the number of sessions, confidentiality, fees and terms and conditions. There is no charge and no commitment at this stage so you will have time to decide whether would like to continue.
Where will the counselling sessions take place?
We will meet in the comfort of my office at a private, safe and discreet location. I take confidentiality very seriously. The Counselling with Lila Warren practice has been designed to receive clients in an environment where sessions can take place in a comfortable office built at my property. It guarantees comfort, privacy, confidentiality and the practicality of parking facilities and easy access to public transport.
What are your qualifications?
