Dr. Liam Reilly

Dr Liam Reilly offers help for people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, anger and relationship and intimacy-related problems. He also supports those facing challenges with addictions, sleep and eating difficulties, parenting stress, ADHD and career changes. Liam is identified with work around narcissism in professional contexts and brings that awareness into sessions when relevant.

He works in a conversational, person-centred way. Sessions focus on what matters to the person in front of him and on practical steps they can try between meetings. Liam emphasises non-judgemental listening and helps people notice patterns that cause distress.

Across his practice he draws on cognitive behavioural techniques alongside Acceptance and Commitment ideas and attachment-informed thinking. He also uses elements from dialectical behaviour work to teach emotion regulation skills. The aim is to match the approach to the person rather than forcing a single method.

Liam trained to a doctoral level and is registered with the Health and Care Professions Council, HCPC. He has worked in the NHS, private, corporate and educational settings and has over eleven years of experience offering therapy, supervision and training.

People can expect sessions that are tailored and collaborative. Liam helps clients set clear goals and develop coping strategies for day-to-day life. He also supports those navigating complex histories such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, adoption and foster care experiences.

His practice includes work with neurodiversity, codependency, caregiver stress and co-morbidity. He aims to create a respectful space where people can talk through difficult memories, test new behaviours and build more helpful habits over time.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice uncomfortable thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then focus on actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, low mood and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns, which is useful for depression, panic and insomnia. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current trust and closeness; it can help with intimacy problems, abandonment issues and attachment difficulties.

Finding the right method is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practicalities with each person and together decide which approach or mix of approaches to try. This collaborative process makes it easier to adapt methods to the client's life and needs.

Please confirm which online session formats are offered before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time and allow follow-ups when keeping to a routine is important. They can also allow for shorter check-ins when time or bandwidth is limited. Many people find therapeutic tools and skills transfer well to everyday life when practised between sessions.
