About Phillip

Phillip Mapoma helps people coping with trauma, abuse, stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, anger and depression. He uses person-centred listening alongside practical techniques to talk through difficult feelings. Phillip is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years of professional experience.

He combines Client-Centred Therapy with cognitive and narrative approaches. Sessions focus on what the individual brings and on practical steps that can reduce distress between meetings. Phillip also draws on trauma-focused methods when people have been affected by past abuse or traumatic events.

He pays attention to family of origin issues, communication problems, fatherhood concerns, and cultural or multicultural matters. Issues such as abandonment, guilt and shame, self-love and post-traumatic stress are also within his focus areas. Conversations may cover how past events shape present relationships and behaviour.

Phillip works in straightforward, conversational sessions where clients describe their experience and set priorities. He helps people try out different ways of thinking and small behavioural changes that can ease symptoms like anxiety or low mood. Narrative work can be used to reframe difficult memories and make them easier to carry.

Sessions are practical and down-to-earth, with attention to immediate concerns and longer-term patterns. He accepts international clients and conducts work in English. To begin, users follow the site process to be matched and arrange a first meeting.

How Phillip uses his approaches in online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's perspective at the centre of sessions. The counsellor listens without directing and helps the client to identify what matters most and to set the pace of work. This approach supports people dealing with relationship strain, grief, and general stress.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings and behaviours together. The counsellor helps to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and to try out small behavioural changes that can reduce anxiety or low mood. CBT is often used when people want concrete strategies to manage symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Phillip will discuss goals and preferences with each client and suggest whether client-centred listening, CBT or narrative and trauma-focused techniques suit the issue. This is a collaborative process so adjustments can be made as needs change.

The practical benefits of working online include fitting sessions into a busy week and avoiding travel. The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to keep appointments around work or family commitments and can allow for shorter check-ins when needed.
