About Philip
Philip Moore is a counsellor who draws on two decades of experience to help people manage anxiety, stress and related problems. He works from a person-centred stance that treats each client as the expert in their own life. Sessions aim to build on strengths and practical coping skills rather than overwhelm with labels.
Philip commonly supports people dealing with trauma, abuse, anger and depression. He also works with concerns such as grief, addictions, sleep and eating difficulties, and issues around self-esteem and intimacy.
Background and approach
He is familiar with challenges linked to ADHD, panic attacks, social anxiety and post-traumatic stress. His approach blends client-centred listening with practical Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. He also draws on psychodynamic and Jungian perspectives when it helps to understand deeper patterns and early life influences.
Trauma-focused work is used when people need targeted support after distressing events. Philip aims for sessions that are straightforward and focused. He helps people set small, achievable goals and tries to teach tools they can use between sessions.
Conversations tend to be calm, direct and grounded in real life. He holds BACP registration in the United Kingdom and has offered counselling for 20 years. Sessions are held online by video, phone, chat or messaging, and he works with English-speaking clients including those based outside the UK.
If someone is ready to begin, they complete a short matching questionnaire and book a session.
Approaches that work online for anxiety and trauma
Philip blends client-centred counselling with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people manage anxiety, intrusive thoughts and unhelpful behaviours. Client-centred work focuses on listening and building from a person’s own strengths, while CBT gives practical tools to test and change thinking patterns.He also uses trauma-focused techniques when past events continue to cause distress, and will draw on psychodynamic or Jungian perspectives when exploring recurring life patterns is helpful. The choice of approach is flexible and responsive to the issue at hand.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Philip will discuss options with each person and agree a path that fits their goals, pace and preferences. The decision about what to try first is made together and can change as progress is reviewed.
Online therapy here is offered by video call, phone, live chat or messaging. Video is useful for longer, conversational sessions; phone works well if bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Chat and messaging allow shorter, written check-ins or a way to work without being on camera. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, travel or family commitments and let people choose what feels most workable for them.
