Welcome to this site.

My name is Lyla.

I am a Counsellor and Re-Membering Guide.​​​

​

Counselling Meetings
My Counselling work is shaped by a simple understanding: that much of what we carry did not begin with us alone.​​

Family roles, expectations, cultural pressures, and moments in history that create inherited patterns, all leave their mark. Often, these influences remain just outside of our awareness, shaping how we choose to live, and relate to ourselves and others.

​​​​​​​

Re-Membering Meetings

Many people have already spent time in counselling or working through personal development spaces. They may have gained insight, language, and understanding — and yet still feel that something remains unresolved, or difficult to place. They may sense that:

​

• “Something in my life doesn’t feel right”

• “I keep repeating things I don’t understand”

• “I’ve done therapy but something still feels stuck”

• “I feel disconnected—from myself, others, or something deeper”

 

I hold re-membering spaces consisting of group gatherings or individual meetings. In these spaces are quiet, reflective conversations where people can explore their life story in a wider context. All meetings have listening and reflection at their core.​​​​

​

You may not be looking for this — but if something here feels familiar, you are welcome to have a free 30 minute introductory meeting to discuss further.

​​​​​

Re-Membering does not replace counselling or therapy. It offers something different. A quieter way of seeing — where your life can be reflected on in a wider context, without pressure to reach conclusions or make immediate change. 

​​​

Alongside re-membering work, I write guides that consider lineage, identity, and the ways collective history influences personal life.  ​

 

My work is inspired by the ideas in the book 'The Re-Membered People, written by Lyala Aje'.​
