Paul Phillips

Paul Phillips, NCPS, helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by anger, anxiety or low mood. He speaks plainly and listens closely so clients can talk through what is happening now. Sessions aim to make everyday life easier and to reduce the pressure people feel from difficult emotions.

Paul keeps the room steady and non-judgemental. He works collaboratively so clients set the pace and goals. Conversations focus on understanding life experience and finding practical steps that feel doable.

He draws on a mix of approaches to suit different needs. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, for example, looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour to reduce distress. Client-Centred Therapy prioritises the client’s experience and supports them to find their own answers.

Psychodynamic ideas are used when exploring deeper patterns that repeat over time. Solution-Focused Therapy is practical and goal-oriented, useful when someone wants short-term changes or clearer next steps.

Paul has six years’ experience in counselling work. He is based in the United Kingdom and works with issues such as stress, grief, addiction, parenting concerns, relationship problems and anger. He offers virtual counselling and asks people to confirm session options before booking.

How Paul uses therapy online and therapeutic approaches

Paul blends Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in online work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and helping people discover their own answers, which suits those who need time to speak and reflect. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and gives practical exercises to change them, which can help with anger, anxiety and low mood.

He also uses Solution-Focused ideas when people want clear steps and quicker goals. That approach aims to identify small, achievable changes and build on them. Finding the right mix is collaborative - the therapist and client agree what feels most useful and adjust as work progresses.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life. They can reduce travel time and help people join from where they already are. The biography states virtual counselling is available, but readers should confirm the exact session options before booking. Practical benefits include saving time, easier scheduling and the ability to continue weekly work even when routines change.
