Dr. Liam Reilly, HCPC

Dr Liam Reilly helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, anger, grief, addictions and relationship or intimacy-related concerns. He also supports people dealing with parenting strains, sleep and eating difficulties, career uncertainty, ADHD, bipolar mood issues and compassion fatigue. Dr Reilly works in a straightforward, person-centred way that aims to be non-judgemental and practical.

He holds registration with the Health and Care Professions Council, shown as HCPC, and brings 11 years of experience across NHS, independent, corporate and education settings. That background informs how he tailors sessions to each person. Sessions are described as collaborative and bespoke so people can shape what happens in therapy.

In practice he draws on a mix of evidence-informed approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy. The aim is to offer techniques and strategies that help with day-to-day coping and longer-term change. He emphasises acceptance, understanding and supportive listening as core elements.

Dr Reilly has also worked in training and supervision roles and has experience with adoption and foster care, attachment concerns, autism and complex presentations such as co-morbidity and dissociation. That experience informs how he works with overlapping difficulties rather than treating problems in isolation.

People who choose to work with him can expect a calm, practical approach that focuses on developing skills, managing symptoms and exploring personal goals in a way that suits their life.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them, then choose actions that match their values; it can be useful for anxiety, stress and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is commonly used for depression, anxiety and sleep or eating issues. Attachment-Based Therapy explores early relationship patterns and how they affect current relationships and intimacy, which can help with abandonment or attachment concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels helpful, and together we will try methods that suit each person’s needs. That collaborative process can combine different techniques rather than sticking to one model.

The biography does not list which online session types are provided, so please confirm the available formats before booking. 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 let people choose quieter surroundings or avoid being on camera if they prefer, while still working through patterns, building coping skills and addressing relationship or trauma-related concerns with a registered professional.
