Lilien Lucic, BACP

Lilien Lucic helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or difficulties with self-esteem. She supports individuals struggling with relationship worries, grief and the knock-on effects of depression. Lilien speaks English, Croatian and Serbian and works with clients across the United Kingdom and internationally.

She brings ten years of professional experience and is registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Lilien aims to make sessions calm and straightforward so people can talk honestly about what is hard for them.

In sessions she focuses on building trust and listening closely to what a person needs. She pays attention to attachment concerns, communication problems and issues around commitment and fatherhood when those are relevant. Lilien also supports people affected by obsessive thoughts, post-traumatic stress and postpartum depression.

Practical problems at work, social anxiety, isolation and difficulties tied to addiction are all within her remit. She works with parents worried about the emotional toll of caring and with people who carry guilt or shame from past events. The approach is collaborative and paced to the individual.

To begin, Lilien invites people to describe the immediate problem and set clear, manageable goals. Sessions aim to help someone feel steadier, make small changes and build lasting coping skills.

Practical approaches and online care

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques can help people make sense of difficult feelings and develop workable strategies. One common approach focuses on understanding patterns of thought and behaviour and teaching practical tools to reduce anxiety and low mood. This method helps people notice unhelpful thinking and learn new ways to respond.

Another useful approach centres on attachment and relationship patterns. It looks at how early and recent relationships shape current reactions and helps people improve communication, set boundaries and build more secure connections in their daily life.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process. The therapist will discuss options with each person and together they will choose an approach that matches the client’s goals, needs and preferences. This is a collaborative decision and can be adjusted as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that feels important. Phone sessions can be easier if bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use video. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who want short check-ins or to reflect in writing between sessions.
