Background and approach
Her training and experience inform a client-centred style that values honesty and respect. In sessions she focuses on what people do and think day to day. She helps clients spot unhelpful cycles and try different actions.
Phillippa uses practical tools from cognitive behavioural approaches alongside therapies that attend to feelings and attachment patterns. She also speaks from lived experience of managing an incurable degenerative autoimmune condition. That personal perspective shapes her empathy and understanding of long-term health challenges and the emotional strain they can bring.
Her work is collaborative. Phillippa aims to help people update old patterns, improve communication, and regain a sense of control. She supports clients to build skills for coping, decision-making and moving forward in life.
Therapeutic approaches and online options
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them and focuses on values-based action to move life forward. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) aims to identify and change thinking and behaviour patterns that contribute to anxiety, low mood or unhelpful habits. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and can help when difficulties with closeness or communication cause distress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Phillippa will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and agree together which methods to try. That collaborative process lets therapy be adapted as things change or new needs appear.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing or need to fit therapy around a busy schedule. These options make it easier to keep continuity and fit therapy into everyday life.
