About Philip
Philip Hynes is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 15 years of professional experience. He works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, anger and depression. Philip also focuses on social anxiety and phobia, workplace problems and relationship-related concerns such as communication difficulties and divorce or separation.
Philip believes clients know their own story and strengths. He listens to what matters to each person and uses that as the basis for practical sessions. Conversations are straightforward and paced to suit the person in front of him.
His approach is client-centred, which means sessions follow the client’s priorities rather than a fixed script. That style can help people who feel stuck by doubt, shame or guilt, or who find social situations and speaking up difficult.
Philip has worked across different settings during his career and has helped people manage addiction-related behaviours including process addictions such as pornography, exercise and gambling. He also supports those coping with loss, jealousy, and pressures from work or military-related experience.
Sessions aim to identify small, achievable steps that make daily life more manageable. People are encouraged to reflect on what is working, try new ways of responding, and build on positive changes over time.
How his client-centred approach works online
Philip practises client-centred therapy, which focuses on listening and responding to what matters to the client. In simple terms this means the counsellor follows the conversation areas you bring and helps you make sense of them, useful for anxiety, grief and difficulties with relationships.The work often involves breaking down worries into manageable parts and trying small changes between sessions. That practical focus can suit people dealing with social anxiety, workplace stress or addictive behaviours who want straightforward steps to try out.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Philip will discuss goals and preferences with each person and adjust how sessions run based on what helps most. He supports people in deciding whether the client-centred style feels like a good fit and checks in over time.
