Hello, I'm Phil. I firmly believe that therapy can be transformative, providing a unique opportunity to explore our past experiences and understand how they influence our present. This viewpoint has been shaped by my experiences as both a therapist and a client. The therapeutic relationships I cultivate with people create a safe and empowering environment for them to examine and make sense of their connections with others and the world around them.
I have experience in addressing a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, family dynamics, autism, trauma, and matters related to sex, gender, and sexuality.
My approach involves understanding each person’s experiences from their unique perspective, allowing me to meet them with acceptance, empathy, and curiosity. When appropriate, I also gently challenge clients to encourage deeper reflection and new ways of thinking about their experiences.

While I work with a wide variety of concerns, I am especially passionate about helping individuals develop a more compassionate relationship with themselves, build self-esteem, and overcome anxiety. This journey isn't always easy, and real change takes time, but many of my clients experience meaningful shifts that allow them to lead fuller, more fulfilling lives.

"
I often use psychodynamic and person centred therapy in my practice. This largely means I'm interested in exploring the ways in which a person's past can reoccur and influence their present. It's also important to me to relate to those I work with by accepting them fully, as they are, with empathy, acceptance and curiosity.
