About Philip
Philip Moore is a counsellor with 20 years of clinical experience and a BACP credential. He focuses on helping people find steadier ground when life becomes hard. Philip aims to make therapy straightforward and practical from the first conversation.
Philip uses person-focused listening alongside evidence-informed tools to address things like anxiety, depression and trauma. He helps people talk through anger, relationship troubles, grief and addictive patterns. He also works with concerns such as self-esteem, sleep and eating difficulties, and career or parenting stress.
How Philip works
In sessions Philip blends Client-Centred ways of working with cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful patterns and try alternative steps. He draws on psychodynamic and Jungian ideas when helpful to look at deeper life themes. Trauma-Focused methods are applied when past hurt still affects day-to-day life.
Philip’s manner is steady and direct. He invites people to name practical goals and then tests small changes together. Sessions often include focused thinking exercises, reflective conversation and actions to try between meetings.
Philip works with a wide range of concerns including panic, dissociation, abandonment, guilt and shame, loneliness and issues often seen by men. He also supports people dealing with bipolar symptoms, compassion fatigue, and those exploring intimacy and sexual identity. Therapy is shaped around each person’s needs and pace.

How Philip's approaches translate to online therapy
Philip commonly uses Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in his online work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and helping people make sense of their own experience; it’s useful for building trust and exploring life choices. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it often helps with anxiety, depression, panic and stress.The right approach is something to find together. Philip will discuss goals, preferences and how symptoms show up, then suggest ways of working that fit the person. That plan can change over time as new issues or insights emerge, and the client helps steer what is most helpful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is good for longer, reflective work where seeing facial cues matters. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging allow short check-ins, brief coaching-style support, or homework-related feedback between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments.
