Philip Moore
Calm, practical therapy with a client-led focus
About Philip
Philip Moore is a counsellor who works from a client-centred perspective. He places the person's experience at the heart of sessions and aims to create a space where people feel heard and respected. Philip holds BACP accreditation and brings twenty years of practice in the United Kingdom.
Philip focuses on many concerns including trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, anger, depression and anxiety. He also helps with addictions, sleep and eating problems, parenting stresses, career questions and major life changes.
Background and approach
Additional areas of attention include abandonment, control issues, dissociation, guilt and shame, and isolation or loneliness. In sessions Philip uses practical methods from cognitive behavioural therapy to help people notice patterns and try new responses. He also draws on psychodynamic and Jungian ideas to look at deeper themes that influence feelings and choices.
Trauma-focused methods are used when past events are getting in the way of day-to-day life. Philip aims to help people identify strengths they already have and build on them. He offers straightforward tools for coping with panic, managing anger, and facing low mood.
Work can include short-term focused strategies or more open-ended exploration depending on what the person needs. People can expect clear language and a calm approach in sessions. Philip accepts international clients and works in English.
He practices across video calls, phone, live chat and text-based messaging to suit different needs.

How Philip’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, reflecting and following the person’s lead to build understanding and self-trust. It helps when someone needs support to make sense of feelings and find their own solutions.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, panic, depression and stress because it offers clear strategies to try between sessions.
Philip treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. He will work with the person to decide whether practical skills, deeper exploration or trauma-focused work is most useful. That choice can change over time as needs and goals evolve.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins and text messaging suits people who prefer a written format. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life or travel and to choose the contact method that feels most comfortable.
