About Phillip
Phillip Mapoma is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom who helps people manage anxiety, stress and trauma. He welcomes clients who are dealing with grief, anger, depression and relationship concerns. Phillip uses clear, practical talk to help people feel understood and move forward.
He aims to make the first sessions simple and straightforward. Phillip focuses on listening closely and building trust so people can say what they need to.
Background and approach
He encourages small steps and practical changes that fit into day-to-day life. Phillip draws on client-centred work to keep the person’s experience central. He also uses cognitive behavioural tools to help identify unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of coping.
Narrative techniques are used to help people reframe difficult stories and see new possibilities. When trauma is part of a person’s history, Phillip uses trauma-focused approaches to address its effects at a manageable pace. He pays attention to cultural background and family of origin issues when they matter to the presenting concerns.
Phillip holds BACP accreditation, which he uses as part of his professional framework. He has four years of clinical experience and works with people from a variety of backgrounds. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful, non-directive relationship. It helps people who need space to talk through feelings and to feel heard before making changes.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. It offers practical strategies for anxiety, stress and low mood, such as testing unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavioural experiments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and tailor methods to someone’s goals and preferences. That means sessions often combine elements from different approaches to match what the person needs.
Online sessions give practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need a lower-bandwidth option. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing reflection between sessions, or when someone needs to write rather than speak. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare or travel and to keep continuity when circumstances change.
