how I work
My Approach to Counselling & Healing Emotional Pain
I combine talking therapy, body based healing and an understanding of family patterns passed down through generations to find what works best for you. We'll use what you need -gently and practically- so changes lasts. Transform pain into healing, confusion into clarity, and disconnection into authentic living.
Creating Safety for Your Nervous System
When we're in emotional pain, our nervous system is often overwhelmed. We work at your pace, building a sense of safety and trust that allows your natural healing capacity to emerge.
Understanding Your Inner World
We explore the different parts of yourself—the critic, the protector, the hurt child—with curiosity rather than judgment. This helps you understand why you react the way you do.
Healing Through Connection & Body Awareness
Emotional pain often gets stored in our bodies and affects our relationships. We work with both—building your capacity for healthy connection with others.
Breaking Free from Inherited Patterns
Sometimes our emotional pain carries the weight of family history—patterns of addiction, trauma, or dysfunction passed down through generations.
From Pain to Possibility
I combine different approaches of therapy that can help you to explore how past and present experiences can shape the way you think and feel. What matters isn't the technique—it's that you feel seen, understood and supported in overcoming what is stopping you living a life that feels authentic and meaningful to you.

MEET LILIAN PILGRIM
Your Journey to Healing Starts with Understanding
I understand what it feels like to navigate life's challenges while trying to hold everything together. Like many people, I've experienced times when everything appeared fine on the surface, but inside I was struggling with the weight of daily pressures and expectations.
Through my own journey of learning to cope with life's complexities — whether juggling work responsibilities, experiencing post childhood trauma, family commitments, or simply managing the demands of everyday life — I've come to deeply understand how isolating and overwhelming it can feel when you're putting on a brave face while battling inner turmoil.
<Professional Training & Approach
I am a MBACP registered Counsellor with training in trauma, somatic(body-based awareness) approaches and over 15 years working with transgenerational trauma, I bring both professional expertise and lived experience to our relationship.

What is Trauma-informed counselling?
Trauma-informed counselling means I understand how difficult experiences affect your mind, body, and emotions. I create a safe space where we work at your pace, without pushing you before you're ready. This approach recognizes that healing happens when you feel safe and in control.
CloseWhat do Soma, Somatic and SomaSoul mean?
"Soma" refers to the body in its living, experiencing wholeness. "Somatic" means relating to the body. "SomaSoul" represents the integration of body and soul in the therapeutic process, acknowledging that healing involves both physical and spiritual dimensions of our being.
CloseWhat is Transgenerational Healing?
We explore emotional/psychological patterns that have been passed down through generations in families. This approach helps clients understand how unresolved trauma, beliefs, and behaviors from previous generations may be influencing their current life experiences and relationships.
CloseIs this for me if I function well on the outside but feel anxious inside?
Yes. We work precisely with the parts of ourselves that we often hide from others—the parts that feel vulnerable, anxious, or not-good-enough despite external success. Many high-functioning individuals benefit from this work to find greater inner peace and authenticity.
