About Phillip

Phillip Mapoma is a counsellor who helps people tackle anger alongside related issues like anxiety, stress, grief and depression. He works with clients coping with trauma and abuse and supports those dealing with relationship strain and communication problems. Phillip speaks English and takes an approachable, steady view in sessions.

He keeps conversations straightforward and practical. Sessions focus on understanding what sparks strong feelings, and on building steps that reduce overwhelm. Phillip uses clear, evidence-informed ways of working rather than jargon, so people know what to expect each week.

Phillip draws on several therapeutic approaches to suit different needs. He uses Client-Centred Therapy to follow each person's pace and priorities. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. He also brings Narrative Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy into the work when past experiences need careful attention.

Over four years of professional experience, Phillip has supported people with fatherhood issues, family of origin concerns, guilt and shame, and multicultural challenges. He aims to help clients build more self-compassion and better ways to communicate under stress.

If someone is unsure how to begin, Phillip encourages a simple first step: complete the short questionnaire to match with him and then book a session that fits into daily life.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience first by letting them set the pace and topics for each session. This approach helps when someone needs a non-judgemental space to talk through anger, grief or relationship strain.

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and straightforward strategies to reduce anxiety, manage stress and change reactive patterns that fuel angry outbursts.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which methods fit best based on their goals and preferences. That shared planning can be adjusted as progress is made.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and avoiding travel time. Online work can also allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid being on camera if that helps someone engage better. The biography does not list explicit session formats, so confirm available online options before booking to ensure they match your needs.
