About Philip
Philip McKee is a counsellor with 10 years of practice in the United Kingdom. He supports people feeling overwhelmed by stress and anxiety and those coping with addiction or grief. Philip also helps clients exploring LGBT questions and people working on self-esteem and social anxiety.
Philip keeps sessions straightforward and approachable. He aims to build a calm space where people can say how they feel without judgement. He listens for practical patterns that cause distress and works with each person to try different ways of coping.
How Philip works
In sessions Philip often focuses on understanding difficult emotions such as guilt and shame. He helps people make clearer choices about life purpose and self-love. Conversations can include small steps to manage panic, reduce avoidance, or change thinking that undermines confidence.
Philip draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to each person's needs. He explains options in plain language and helps clients decide what to try next. Progress is paced to what feels manageable for the person in front of him.
People come for short-term support and for longer-term work on deeper patterns. Philip accepts clients from the UK and internationally who prefer to meet online. He aims to make starting therapy simple and practical for people with busy lives.

Practical therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Philip uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on thoughts, feelings and behaviour. One approach helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety and low mood. Another approach concentrates on developing coping strategies and small practical steps to manage cravings, reduce avoidance and handle grief reactions.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Philip discusses different techniques and tailors them to the person's goals, preferences and pace. Decisions about what to try are made collaboratively so each person feels involved in the plan.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging which makes therapy easier to fit into busy lives. Video allows face-to-face conversation, phone can be used when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help people access therapy from different places and times to suit their routine.
