Hi, my name is Philip.
I have worked with clients for a number of years doing both face-to-face and on-line sessions.
Previously I worked in business but then, due to challenges in my own life, I went to counselling. Having seen the benefits of talking therapy, I wanted to be able to help others.
I have a wide range of experience in helping clients with things such as; stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship issues, family conflicts, grief and faith.
I also work with couples to repair trust, improve communication, and strengthen their emotional intimacy with each other.
I know that it is difficult to take that first step of reaching out for support, so, well done. It takes courage and I am proud of you for getting started!
I am humbled to be able to enter into people's lives and support them, whatever they are going through. I don't have all of the answers, but I want to help you to find your inner strength, and experience the life which you want.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
