About Philip
Philip Moore is a counsellor with twenty years of practice in the United Kingdom and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He focuses on helping people who are struggling with trauma, depression, anxiety, anger and addictions. He also supports those facing issues such as parenting strain, intimacy difficulties, grief, and low self-esteem.
Philip uses straightforward, person-focused work in sessions. He treats each person as the expert in their own life and looks for strengths to build on.
Background and approach
Conversations are practical and aimed at finding steps that feel manageable. His background includes long experience in trauma-related work and in helping people cope with big life changes. That history shapes how he balances practical tools with space to tell difficult stories.
Sessions can include short-term strategies and longer reflective work depending on what someone needs. Philip draws on a range of approaches including Client-Centred, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Trauma-Focused methods. He adapts these to suit each person’s goals, whether that is improving sleep, reducing panic, or working through past abuse.
Many people come hoping for clearer thinking, calmer reactions, or better relationships at home. Philip aims to make those aims realistic and actionable. He encourages steady progress and clear communication about what is and isn’t working.
Sessions are offered in English and available online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. International clients can arrange appointments according to his availability and the subscription model used for sessions.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens closely and helps the client name strengths and priorities, which can be useful for parenting concerns, self-esteem and relationship goals.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on patterns of thought and behaviour that maintain distress. In online sessions this often means setting simple tasks, practising new ways of responding, and reviewing progress between meetings to reduce anxiety, panic or unhelpful routines.
Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on safely processing traumatic memories and learning ways to manage strong emotions. When delivered online it can combine stabilising skills, paced storytelling and practical grounding techniques tailored to each person’s pace.
Choosing the right method is part of the work. The therapist will explore your goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together you can try approaches and adjust them until they fit your needs and day-to-day life.
Online formats offer real flexibility. Video calls simulate face-to-face sessions for deeper conversation, phone sessions suit quieter bandwidth or a shorter check-in, and live chat or text messaging can help with quick reflections or when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, parenting or travel while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
