About Philip

Philip Moore is a counsellor with 20 years of experience and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He focuses on helping men and others address emotional pain and practical problems. Philip believes people are the experts in their own stories and works alongside them to build on their strengths.

He commonly supports people coping with trauma and abuse, anger, depression, anxiety and stress. He also helps with relationship and intimacy concerns, addictions, grief, self-esteem and issues connected to parenting and career. Additional areas of focus include abandonment, control issues, dissociation, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, and men’s issues.

Philip uses a mix of approaches so he can match the work to each person. He draws on client-centred ways of working to prioritise what matters to the individual. He also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to help change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, and trauma-focused ideas when past events are affecting day-to-day life.

Sessions aim to be straightforward and practical. Philip listens, reflects, and offers tools people can use between meetings. He encourages gradual steps and self-compassion while people work through difficult feelings.

Philip practises from the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. He accepts international clients and uses a subscription model for sessions that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

Approach-led online counselling and practical support

Philip blends client-centred work with cognitive behavioural and trauma-focused methods. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and building on a person's strengths, which helps when people want a supportive space to talk through difficulties. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) introduces simple tools to test and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, useful for anxiety, depression and habit change. Trauma-focused therapy helps identify how past events affect present reactions and offers ways to reduce that impact.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try different ways of working and agree what feels most useful. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress is reviewed.

Confirm the session formats before booking since specific formats are not listed in the biography. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing appointments from different locations. They can also make shorter check-ins or structured therapeutic tasks easier to schedule around work or family commitments. Registered or accredited professionals can explain practical arrangements when you start the matching process.
