About Liam

Dr Reilly is based in the United Kingdom and has eleven years of experience in psychological work. He describes his sessions as person‑centred and collaborative.
Background and approach
People are invited to talk through what matters to them and to set practical goals together. Sessions aim to be tailored to each person, with a focus on understanding experiences without judgement. Dr Reilly holds registration with the Health and Care Professions Council, shown as HCPC, and has worked across the NHS, personal, corporate and education settings.
He has provided training and supervision in addition to direct therapeutic support. His background includes leadership as Director of Belfast Psychology Services and involvement with the British Psychological Society. His practice draws on a mix of psychological approaches.
That mix can include cognitive behavioural techniques, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment‑informed work and elements from dialectical and client‑centred practice. The aim is to offer strategies that help people cope with life’s challenges and build skills they can use day to day. People considering therapy are encouraged to reflect on their goals and needs.
Dr Reilly works collaboratively to shape each plan and to review progress as therapy continues.

Approaches that suit remote working and practical change
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and to take committed action even when difficult thoughts and feelings are present. It is useful for stress, anxiety and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical skills to reduce unhelpful patterns; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression and some trauma‑related difficulties. Attachment‑based work helps people understand how early relationships shape present‑day responses and can support work on intimacy, attachment issues and some relationship‑linked struggles.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively with the person to identify which ideas and techniques fit their needs and goals. Plans are reviewed together and adjusted if a different mix of methods seems more helpful over time.
The original profile does not list which session formats are provided, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family life, allow shorter check‑in conversations when time is tight, and reduce travel time on busy days. Registered or accredited professionals can use online work to deliver the same goal‑focused conversations and practical exercises as face‑to‑face sessions, while adapting tools and homework to everyday routines.
