About Philippa
Philippa Casement is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP registration and brings four years of professional experience to her practice. Philippa focuses on creating an approachable space where people can talk about difficult feelings and life events without judgement.
She helps people dealing with stress and anxiety, and those coping with mood disorders such as depression and bipolar. She also works with concerns around eating and trauma and abuse, and supports people struggling with addictions or anger.
How Philippa works
Philippa pays attention to how past relationships and attachment patterns shape present difficulties. Her way of working is conversational and practical. Sessions often begin by defining immediate priorities and learning small, usable skills for day-to-day coping.
She draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and on acceptance strategies to build tolerance for difficult emotions. Philippa also uses attachment-informed methods to look at how early connections influence current relationships and patterns. Where emotional regulation is a challenge she brings in techniques from dialectical behaviour approaches to help with distress tolerance and managing intense feelings.
People come to Philippa for support with parenting pressures, grief, relationship strain, family problems, work stress and life transitions. She aims to make therapy understandable and manageable, helping people set realistic goals and notice small changes over time.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches for online counselling
Philippa commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in her online practice. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, identify personal values, and take small actions that match those values even when emotions feel difficult. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape present ways of relating and helps people recognise patterns that repeat in current relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Philippa treats this as a collaborative process and will discuss different methods based on a person's needs, goals, and preferences. She aims to match techniques to what a person wants to achieve and adjusts the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions can be offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for fuller emotional expression, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make therapy more flexible and help people fit sessions around work, family, or other commitments.
