Lilia is a compassionate counsellor with a strong background in psychology and community services, having worked in the sector for over nine years. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, a Post Graduate qualification in Community Safety and has recently completed a Postgraduate qualification in Counselling, reflecting her deep commitment to supporting others through therapeutic practice. Her early career in Melbourne gave her valuable experience in diverse and complex settings, including Domestic Violence, Child Protection, Alcohol and Other Drugs, CALD support and Corrections. This foundation shaped her holistic and trauma-informed approach to client care. Driven to further her understanding of Aboriginal cultures and strengthen her work with remote and regional communities, Lilia relocated to the Northern Territory. Lilia brings warmth, insight, and professionalism to her counselling practice. She draws on a range of evidence-based approaches tailored to individual needs, including person-centered therapy, trauma-informed care, and strengths-based strategies. Her work is grounded in empathy, cultural sensitivity, and a belief in the importance of safe, trusting therapeutic relationships. Outside of her counselling work, Lilia enjoys travelling, cooking and spending time with her puppy—prioritizing balance and self-care in both her personal and professional life.
