Philippa has been a huge part of my healing journey. She understands, listens and is consistent. I'm very lucky to have found her when I did, and I will forever be grateful for her guidance and hope to keep up with my sessions as often as possible.

Recent reviews
Philippa manages to be professional while simultaneously being more compassionate than any other therapist I've talked to before. She offers honest and valuable insight and realistic advice easily applicable to real life. Our sessions have helped me pick myself back up after decades of trauma, and I notice different thought patterns and behaviours in myself after only a few months. I highly recommend Philippa, amazing professional and human being! ❤️

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Philippa provides me with helpful insight on how to tackle obstacles I am trying to handle. I always feel better and able to achieve my goals after every session.
I came to Philippa looking for someone to talk to about my gender identity, and she has been nothing but supportive and empathetic throughout - a fantastic therapist!
Great therapist who’s really been helping me in my healing journey and would definitely recommend her.
