Philippa Casement, BACP

Philippa Casement is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom. She holds registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and draws on four years of professional experience supporting people through difficult times.

She helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression and mood disorders. Her work also covers trauma and abuse, eating and food-related issues, addictions and obsessive-compulsive concerns. Philippa works with those facing grief, relationship strain, career changes and the practical challenges of parenting.

In sessions she aims to build an open, non-judgemental space for talking through thoughts and feelings. Conversations are grounded and straightforward, with the focus on what is worrying the person now. She encourages small, manageable steps and pays attention to how choices match values and goals.

Philippa uses a mix of approaches to meet individual needs, including cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thinking, acceptance and commitment strategies to clarify values, and attachment-informed work to look at relationship patterns. She adapts her style to the person in front of her rather than following one set method.

People come to Philippa when they need practical ways to cope and clearer thinking about next steps. She supports work on self-esteem, anger, control issues, body image, blended family concerns and separation. Sessions aim to help people feel steadier and more able to make decisions that suit their life.

Her practice is English-speaking and accepts clients from the UK and internationally. Philippa offers a calm, respectful approach for anyone ready to begin talking about change.

Approaches that suit online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then act in ways that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and emotional responses and can help with relationship strain, separation and feelings of abandonment. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on providing a warm, non-judgemental listening space where the person leads the conversation and finds their own answers; it suits people wanting a reflective, person-focused approach.

Finding the right approach is part of working together. Philippa will discuss the different methods and help decide which fits the person's needs, goals and preferences. That choice can change over time and sessions can combine elements from different approaches to suit the work.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow fuller conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed, live chat supports shorter conversations and text messaging lets people reflect between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments while keeping the focus on practical progress.
