About Philip
Philip Moore is a counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He has practised in the United Kingdom for 20 years and lists work with relationship issues, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, anxiety and addictions among his areas of focus.
He uses a mix of client-centred, psychodynamic and trauma-focused ideas in his sessions. That means conversations often begin with the person's lived experience and what they want to change. Sessions look at patterns that keep causing the same problems and at past events that still cause distress.
Philip says people are the experts on their own lives and brings that idea into practical work. He will listen to what is most troubling and then suggest ways to try things differently. This can include looking at thoughts and behaviours, or noticing themes that repeat in relationships and life choices.
He has two decades of experience with matters such as grief, intimacy issues, self-esteem, ADHD and men’s issues. He also notes work with panic, post-traumatic stress, dissociation and self-harm. The range includes practical concerns like sleep, eating and career stress.
Philip accepts international clients and works in English. Costs vary by location and are charged through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, follow the site prompts to complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first session.
Approaches used in online counselling and what they do
Philip draws on client-centred work and trauma-focused methods alongside cognitive behavioural ideas. Client-Centred Therapy centres on the client’s own priorities and uses listening and reflection to help people clarify what they want to change. It is useful for exploring relationship concerns, self-esteem and life decisions.Trauma-Focused Therapy looks at the effects of past harmful events and works to reduce their ongoing impact. It is often used for post-traumatic stress, dissociation and long-standing reactions to abuse. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) targets specific thoughts and behaviours and can help with panic, anxiety and sleep or eating difficulties.
Finding the right mix is a collaborative process. The counsellor will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and suggest which approach or combination to try. You can review what is working as you go and adjust the focus where needed.
The site notes that sessions are arranged through the platform’s matching and booking process. The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before you book. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed and remove travel time, which helps people balance work or caring responsibilities.
