About Philip
Philip McKee is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 10 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. He works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, and issues related to sexual orientation. Philip also lists particular interest in guilt and shame, self-esteem, life purpose, self-love, and social anxiety.
He prefers straightforward conversations where clients can talk about what they feel and think. Sessions focus on understanding the situations that keep difficult feelings going. Philip encourages practical steps that can make daily life feel more manageable, and he helps people notice patterns that maintain shame or guilt.
Philip’s background includes a decade of work with people facing loss, anxiety and addictive behaviours. He draws on recognised therapeutic techniques to help clients reduce overwhelm and build clearer choices. He aims to help people separate past actions from their current sense of self when guilt or shame is prominent.
In session he listens for what is most troubling and suggests ways to practise different responses outside sessions. He offers space to talk through painful memories, replayed thoughts or the social pressures that feed shame. Philip works collaboratively to set goals that feel realistic and concrete.
To begin he asks prospective clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial session. The subscription used for sessions can be cancelled at any time, and international clients are accepted. Sessions are conducted in English.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online sessions
Philip draws on well-established therapeutic approaches that target thinking patterns and behaviours. One approach focuses on recognising and gently challenging unhelpful thoughts that fuel guilt and shame, helping people test whether those thoughts match the facts. Another approach involves practical behaviour changes and experiments to reduce avoidance and increase manageable contact with feared situations, useful for social anxiety and phobic responses.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Philip treats the choice of method as collaborative, discussing goals and preferences before deciding what to try. He adjusts the plan as progress and feedback emerge, so the process stays practical and client-led.
