Hi, my name is Philip.
I have worked with clients for a number of years doing both face-to-face and on-line sessions.
Previously I worked in business but then, due to challenges in my own life, I went to counselling. Having seen the benefits of talking therapy, I wanted to be able to help others.
I have a wide range of experience in helping clients with things such as; stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship issues, family conflicts, grief and faith.
I also work with couples to repair trust, improve communication, and strengthen their emotional intimacy with each other.
I know that it is difficult to take that first step of reaching out for support, so, well done. It takes courage and I am proud of you for getting started!
I am humbled to be able to enter into people's lives and support them, whatever they are going through. I don't have all of the answers, but I want to help you to find your inner strength, and experience the life which you want.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions. Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
