About Phillip
Phillip Mapoma is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing depression, anxiety, stress and the effects of trauma and abuse. He works with clients who are dealing with grief, anger and relationship difficulties. Phillip aims to make the first step easier for someone who is nervous about starting therapy.
Phillip creates a calm, non-judgemental space for people to talk about difficult feelings. He encourages open conversation and listens closely to what matters most to each person.
Background and approach
This gives clients room to name problems and take small practical steps forward. He uses approaches that include Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, along with Narrative and Trauma-Focused methods. That means he pays attention to how someone understands their story, and also works with thoughts and behaviours that keep problems stuck.
Sessions blend listening with practical techniques tailored to each person. Phillip has four years of professional experience and holds BACP accreditation. He draws on that experience to help people who are wrestling with issues like abandonment, communication problems, fatherhood concerns, guilt and shame, and cultural or multicultural questions.
Sessions are offered in English and can be arranged online through video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and then schedules sessions according to the booking options available.

Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. Sessions include practical exercises and small experiments to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. CBT is often useful for depression, anxiety and stress because it targets patterns that keep problems going.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Phillip will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try methods that suit their situation. This is a collaborative process and plans can be adjusted as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy lives or limited travel options. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well if bandwidth is an issue, and live chat or text-based messaging can be useful for brief check-ins or when someone prefers typed communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a routine and to keep momentum between sessions.
