About Philip

Philip Moore is a counsellor with 20 years' experience and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. He focuses on helping people who are carrying the weight of trauma, depression, anxiety and anger. Philip works in a straightforward way that aims to build on a person's existing strengths. He invites clients to take the first steps toward change at their own pace.

Philip uses talking and practical strategies to tackle distressing patterns. He draws on client-centred approaches to make sessions feel respectful and person-led. He also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour.

Many people come to him with relationship pain, grief or parenting strain. He also supports those dealing with addiction, eating or sleeping problems, and struggles around self-esteem and identity. Philip pays attention to issues such as abandonment, control, dissociation and shame when they are part of someone's story.

Philip blends psychodynamic and Jungian ideas to look at how past experiences and inner patterns affect present life. He can work with complex trauma and post-traumatic stress in a way that balances safety with making progress. Sessions aim to help people feel more able to cope and to find clearer choices.

People looking to begin are invited to reflect on what they want from therapy and to discuss practical next steps. Philip accepts international clients and offers sessions in English. He uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How Philip’s approaches translate to online work

Philip draws on client-centred therapy to place the person's concerns and choices at the heart of sessions. That approach focuses on empathic listening and helping people make their own decisions about change. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and to try small experiments that can reduce anxiety, panic or patterns that keep someone stuck.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Philip will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what feels most useful. That conversation helps decide whether to emphasise client-centred listening, CBT tasks, or deeper psychodynamic reflections over time.

The biography does not list session formats, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy around family life, work or travel. They can reduce time spent travelling, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it simpler to schedule therapy between other commitments. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists generally use these sessions to help people work through relationship issues, trauma, parenting strain and coping skills without changing the core therapeutic process.
