About Philip
Philip Moore helps people address relationship problems, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, anxiety and related difficulties using a client-centred approach. He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 20 years of practice experience in the United Kingdom.
He works with individuals on a wide range of concerns including addictions, grief, intimacy issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, self-esteem and career questions. Additional focuses include abandonment, control issues, dissociation, guilt and shame, isolation and men's issues. Philip also supports people dealing with panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, self-harm and social anxiety.
Philip draws on client-centred principles to make sessions focused on the person's own perspective and resources. He can use cognitive behavioural techniques to address unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours. He also incorporates psychodynamic and Jungian ideas to look at past patterns and deeper emotional material when it is helpful.
Sessions are practical and conversational, with attention to what the person wants to change and how to take achievable steps. Philip emphasises collaboration in setting goals and working at a pace the person can manage. He also brings trauma-focused methods when recent or past trauma is part of the presenting concerns.
Philip has worked in counselling for two decades and brings that experience to the therapeutic process. He offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. Before booking, people should confirm current session options and scheduling details.
How his approaches are used in online counselling
Client-centred therapy focuses on the person's own perspective and strengths, making sessions conversational and led by the individual. It helps with relationship issues, self-esteem and general life stresses by building on what is already working.
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, panic and many day-to-day problems.
Trauma-focused methods concentrate on the impact of past or recent traumatic events and on strategies to manage distressing memories and reactions. These approaches aim to reduce symptoms and improve coping after traumatic experiences.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Philip will discuss different methods and decide together with the client which ones fit their needs, goals and preferences. He works collaboratively to adjust the approach as the work progresses.
Please confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family commitments, cut out travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed.
Sessions take place through BetterHelp by video, phone or messaging. We will earn a commission if you sign up.
