how I work
My Approach to Counselling & Healing Emotional Pain
I integrate counselling, trauma & somatic awareness and systemic (Transgenerational) perpectives. We'll use what fits you -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
My integrative approach means I draw from trauma therapy, attachment theory, somatic work, inner child healing, parts work, gestalt therapy, and even spiritual practices when appropriate. What matters isn't the technique—it's that you feel seen, understood, and supported in transforming your pain into 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, 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.
Through my own therapeutic journey, including extensive transgenerational work and processing childhood trauma, I discovered not just healing for myself, but a calling to support others in finding their path to wellness.
Professional Training & Approach
I am a BACP registered Integrative Counsellor with specialised training in trauma informed and somatic approaches. With over 15 years working with transgenerational trauma, I bring both professional expertise and lived experience to our relationship.
Learn moreFREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is Trauma-informed counselling?
Trauma-informed counselling recognises the widespread impact of trauma and understands potential paths for recovery. It involves understanding the psychological, neurological, physiological, social and biological effects of trauma and employs practices that are most likely to be supportive of recovery and healing.
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.
