About Philip
Having experienced counselling personally, he brings an informed, empathetic perspective to his work. His practice is grounded in a person-centered approach that places the client's perspective at the core, and he complements this with mindfulness techniques to help manage anxiety and depression and with cognitive behavioral therapy to address unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviours. BACP refers to the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, indicating professional membership and adherence to recognized standards.
Philip specialises in grief and bereavement, life-changing illness, stress and anxiety, depression, LGBTQ matters, and trauma including sexual and domestic violence. He also supports people with related concerns such as attachment and abandonment, blended family challenges, caregiving stress, chronic illness and pain, communication and relationship difficulties, and fatherhood issues. His aim is to help clients explore loss and change, rebuild confidence, and discover practical ways to manage distress while respecting each person’s individual story.
Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's own experience, with the therapist offering empathic listening and acceptance to help people explore feelings and make sense of their lives. This approach is often helpful for grief, identity questions, relationship struggles, and emotional processing.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works with thoughts and behaviours by identifying patterns that contribute to distress and developing practical strategies to change them. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress management, and coping with difficult life changes.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance of thoughts and sensations, providing tools to reduce rumination and manage overwhelming emotions. It can support people living with anxiety, low mood, chronic illness, or persistent stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Philip will work collaboratively with each person to determine the best fit based on needs, goals, and personal preferences. He adapts techniques from different approaches to suit individual circumstances and will discuss options together with the client.
Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility and accessibility, allowing therapy to fit around work, caregiving, health, or mobility needs. These formats make it possible to maintain continuity of care from different locations and to choose the medium that feels most comfortable for daily check-ins, in-depth sessions, or reflective messaging. Licensed professionals can adapt therapeutic tools effectively across these modes to support progress and engagement.
