About Philip

Philip McKee helps people work on stress, anxiety, addictions, LGBT concerns, grief and self-esteem. He uses open conversation to let clients talk through difficult feelings and thoughts. Philip is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 10 years of professional experience in the UK.

He focuses on practical talking work that helps people reduce daily overwhelm and manage anxious thoughts. In sessions he listens for unhelpful patterns and helps people try different ways of responding. That can include looking at guilt and shame, building self-love, and finding clearer direction about life purpose.

Philip also supports people facing social anxiety and phobia. He works in a straightforward way to help people gradually test new responses and build confidence in social situations. He offers space to process grief and loss, and to address the impact of addictive behaviours on day-to-day life.

Sessions are conversational and focused on what the person wants to change. Philip helps set simple goals and checks progress between meetings. He aims to make each session useful in practical terms, with clear next steps when those are needed.

Over ten years Philip has worked with a range of people in the UK setting. He accepts international clients and provides sessions in English. To begin, he asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the service's booking button.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Philip describes his work as evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. That includes approaches which look at unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and ways to test new responses in everyday life. These methods are commonly used to help with anxiety, stress, social anxiety and phobic responses by breaking problems into manageable steps and practising different reactions.

He also uses conversational methods aimed at understanding emotions linked to grief, shame or guilt, and at building stronger self-regard and life purpose. These conversations help people name difficult feelings, try small changes, and track how those changes affect daily life and relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Philip will discuss options with each person and decide together which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. This collaborative process means plans can change as progress is made and new priorities emerge.

Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions around busy days and reducing travel time. If you need to check in quickly or have a shorter session, that can be arranged subject to the formats this counsellor offers. Session options are not listed in the biography, so confirm current formats and scheduling details before booking.
