Phillip Mapoma helps people facing trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression, stress, anger and grief. He also supports those struggling with relationships and communication problems. Phillip writes plainly and aims to make the first step feel manageable for someone who is worried or unsure.
Phillip uses a warm, client-centred style. He listens first and helps people set practical goals. Sessions focus on what matters now and work at a pace the person chooses.
Background and approach
He draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and offers simple tools to try between sessions. He also uses narrative therapy to help people make sense of difficult experiences by reworking the stories they tell about themselves. For people affected by trauma, Phillip includes trauma-focused approaches that help address the impact of painful events.
He pays attention to issues like abandonment, family of origin matters, fatherhood concerns, guilt and shame, and post-traumatic stress. Phillip has four years of professional experience and holds BACP credentials, which are listed as BACP. He works with multicultural issues and supports self-love and healing alongside symptom relief.
His style is conversational, practical and respectful of each person's background. Sessions are offered in English and are available to people in the United Kingdom and internationally. The aim is to make therapy useful and approachable for people taking the first step.
How Phillip’s approaches work online
Client-centred therapy focuses on the person's experience and aims to make sessions feel supportive and non-judgemental. Online sessions let the counsellor listen closely and follow the person's pace while helping them identify what matters most.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small, practical changes in how they act or think. It is useful for anxiety, depression and stress and can include short exercises or home tasks that suit an online format.
Finding the right approach is a joint process. Phillip will work with the person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative conversation and plans can change as work progresses.
Online therapy gives practical flexibility. Video calls let people work face to face when that helps, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is low or a quieter check-in is needed, and live chat or text messaging can suit shorter updates or those who prefer writing. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to connect across distances with registered or accredited professionals.
