Philip Moore works from a person-centred approach that puts the client at the heart of therapy. He emphasises listening and collaboration so people can make sense of painful experiences. Philip holds BACP, which is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy registration, and he draws on two decades of practice in the United Kingdom.

Philip helps people with relationship problems, trauma and abuse, anger, depression and anxiety. He also supports those dealing with addiction, grief, intimacy concerns and issues around self-esteem.

Background and approach

His work extends to challenges such as eating and sleeping difficulties, panic attacks, bipolar-related concerns and coping with life changes. He uses a mix of approaches to suit each person's needs. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy - CBT - is used to tackle unhelpful thinking and behaviours.

Psychodynamic and Jungian ideas help uncover deeper patterns from the past. Trauma-focused methods are applied when memories and flashbacks are central to the difficulty. Sessions are practical and down-to-earth.

Philip aims to help people identify small, achievable steps they can take between meetings. He also offers coaching-style support for career decisions and life transitions. People who feel overwhelmed by shame, guilt, abandonment or isolation will find a focus on rebuilding self-compassion.

Philip pays particular attention to men's issues, narcissistic dynamics, dissociation and emotional numbing. He works with LGBT concerns and parenting stresses while inviting each person to lead the pace of change.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Philip blends client-centred work with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and trauma-focused methods. Client-Centred Therapy centres on listening and helping people identify their own strengths and goals. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy - CBT - focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and changing small behaviours to reduce distress. Trauma-Focused Therapy aims to process traumatic memories and reduce the impact of flashbacks and hyperarousal.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy journey. Philip will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, and he adjusts the plan as progress is made. This is a collaborative process that honours the person’s pace and priorities.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls replicate a face-to-face conversation, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging allows ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help people fit therapy around work, parenting and travel while keeping continuity with the same counsellor.
