About Phillippa
Phillippa Stacy is a BACP counsellor with nine years' experience based in the United Kingdom. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, grief, anger, depression, addictions and issues such as guilt and shame. Phillippa also supports people facing changes like illness, career shifts or the end of relationships.
She uses a client-centred style that is direct and practical. Sessions focus on understanding unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours. Phillippa helps people notice the choices they can make and practise new ways of responding.
Her background includes a BA (Hons) in Humanistic and Integrative Counselling and a Diploma in Clinical Supervision. She draws on Transactional Analysis within a humanistic framework and uses cognitive and emotion-focused methods where helpful.
Phillippa speaks from personal experience of living with a degenerative autoimmune condition. That experience informs how she thinks about long-term challenges and coping with chronic illness or caregiving stress. She also offers clinical supervision to other therapists.
In sessions she is straightforward and honest, aiming to help people update their personal scripts and increase self-agency. Work may include tracking patterns, practising new responses, and discussing values that guide choices. People who come with feelings of guilt or shame often explore how those feelings began and what they mean now.
Her practice accepts international clients and sessions are conducted in English. Costs vary with location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time; confirm current session options before booking.
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting caught up in them and clarifies values to guide action. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and moral distress such as guilt where values and behaviour feel out of step.Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early experiences shape emotional responses. It can help people understand intimacy-related worries, relationship problems and issues around trust or shame.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels practical, then try methods that fit. That way sessions become a collaboration about what helps most, rather than a fixed plan from the start.
The practical benefits of remote sessions can make therapy easier to fit into daily life. Please confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when that suits a day at work, or avoid the need to be on camera if that helps concentration. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor pace and techniques to fit each person's situation.
