Philip Moore, BACP

Philip Moore is a counsellor with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, bringing 20 years of practice in the United Kingdom. He focuses on helping people work through trauma, relationship problems, anxiety and depression. Philip aims to make the first step feel manageable and to build on a person’s existing strengths.

Philip uses a mix of conversational, reflective work and practical techniques. He listens for the patterns that cause distress and helps people try different ways of responding. Sessions often involve looking at feelings, behaviour and personal history to make sense of current struggles.

Many people come for help with anger, addiction, grief or difficulties with intimacy and self-esteem. Philip also supports those facing career stresses, parenting strain, sleep or eating problems and coping with life changes. He works with concerns linked to abandonment, control issues, dissociation, guilt and shame, and loneliness.

Trauma-focused work and psychodynamic ideas are part of his practice, alongside Client-Centred and cognitive tools that help with coping and symptom relief. Philip aims to tailor his approach to each person rather than offering a one-size-fits-all plan.

Sessions are offered in English and Philip accepts international clients. He describes himself as someone who encourages self-compassion and practical steps, helping people take manageable actions toward a more stable and fulfilling life.

Therapy approaches that work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and helping the person lead the conversation; it is useful for building self-understanding and confidence. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) uses practical exercises and small experiments to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can help with anxiety, panic and low mood. Trauma-Focused Therapy pays attention to the effects of past hurt and offers ways to reduce reactivity and improve daily coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Philip will talk with each person about what feels most relevant and try different methods together. The aim is collaborative planning so techniques match the client's goals and pace rather than forcing a single model.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video suits longer conversations and visual cues, phone can fit a tighter schedule or use less bandwidth, and messaging or live chat can be helpful for short check-ins or ongoing support between talks. These options make it easier to find a convenient way to get regular help from registered or accredited professionals.
