Therapeutic approaches and online support
Philip uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify personal values and build psychological flexibility - this approach supports people working with anxiety, persistent stress, and life transitions by focusing on meaningful action rather than getting stuck in unhelpful thought patterns. Philip also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationship patterns influence current connections and emotional responses - this work can be especially useful for clients dealing with abandonment, intimacy-related issues, and relationship difficulties. Additionally, he employs Client-Centered Therapy principles, creating an empathic, nonjudgmental space where clients lead the pace of change and discover their own solutions.Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative process. Philip will work with each client to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as therapy progresses to ensure the best possible fit.
Online therapy enables flexible access to Philip's support through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to maintain continuity of care across life changes. This range of options helps clients choose the format that feels most comfortable and practical for their circumstances.
