Phillipa Thomas
Fully Qualified Person-Centred Therapist
Hello, I’m Phillipa.
If you’re thinking about counselling, you’ll be looking for a space where you can feel safe, supported, and truly listened to, in confidence, that’s exactly what I aim to offer.
Whether you’d like short-term support to get through a difficult patch, or longer-term counselling to explore things more deeply, I’ll work alongside you at your pace. I’ve spent over 18 years supporting children, young people, and adults, both in schools and in private practice, and I have a particular passion for helping adolescents and young people navigate the challenges they face.
My approach is person-centred, which means the focus is always on you, your experiences, your needs, and what feels right for you. My practice is committed to ongoing professional development to ensure so I can offer the best support possible, and I hold a current DBS certificate.
If you’re ready to take the first step, I’d love to help you start your journey.
Testimonials
I first met Philippa 8 years ago, in what was a particularly challenging period of my life. I was struggling with depression and suicidal thoughts, and from the very beginning, she created a safe, non-judgmental space where I felt I could speak freely. Philippa has a calm, compassionate presence and really takes the time to really listen.
Phillipa encouraged my ten-year-old daughter to talk about her worries in a way that skilfully helped unburden her from her anxieties. My daughter really enjoyed her sessions with Phillipa, as they were relaxed and helped her see that talking and working through her worries could lead to positive results.
I’d love to hear from you, whether you’re reaching out for yourself or making arrangements for a loved one. You can use the chat, contact form, or email to get in touch, and I’ll be happy to talk through how I can help.
If you are a parent, guardian, or relative feeling worried about a loved one, please know you’re welcome to get in touch. I’ll be glad to talk with you about my experience and how I can support them, while helping you feel confident in the arrangements being made.
