About Philip
Philip Moore is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 20 years of practice. He works with people dealing with relationship strain, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, stress and anxiety. He also lists support for addictions, LGBT concerns, grief, intimacy questions and issues such as guilt and shame.
Philip’s way of working starts by listening to how a problem shows up in daily life. He treats the person’s experience as the main guide and builds on existing strengths. Sessions are plain and direct, with space to name what causes distress and what gets in the way of change.
He blends client-centred and short-term cognitive techniques to tackle unhelpful thinking and patterns. Where trauma and deep emotional wounds are involved, he draws on trauma-focused and psychodynamic ideas to look at past events and how they echo in current relationships. Jungian ideas are used when symbolic meaning and life stories matter to the client.
People come for help with panic, social anxiety, self-harm, shame, addiction cycles, and problems with control or abandonment. He also supports those coping with career shifts, parenting strain, sleep or eating concerns, and compassion fatigue.
Philip asks practical questions in the first meetings to set clear goals and small steps forward. The focus is on what can be tried between sessions and what changes feel manageable. He invites people to pace the work to fit their everyday life.
How therapeutic approaches work in online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps people feel heard and clarifies what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful habits. It often helps with anxiety, panic, depression and problems linked to guilt and shame.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they will choose techniques and pace the sessions so the work fits the client’s needs and day-to-day life.
The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make attendance easier when someone needs to fit sessions around work, care duties or travel. It can also offer shorter check-ins or sessions without video when that better suits bandwidth, focus or energy levels. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt methods such as CBT exercises or client-centred reflection to an online setting to help people carry the work into daily routines.
