About Phillip
BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 4 years of experience, Phillip Mapoma helps people dealing with trauma and abuse, stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, anger and depression. He also focuses on issues such as abandonment, communication problems, family of origin concerns, fatherhood, guilt and shame, multicultural matters, post-traumatic stress and self-love. Phillip works in English and accepts international clients.
Phillip uses a mix of client-centred conversations and more structured techniques. He listens to what matters to each person and then suggests ways to look at thoughts, feelings and stories that shape daily life. Sessions aim to be straightforward and practical so people can try things between meetings.
His approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and on Narrative Therapy to separate people from the negative stories they tell about themselves. For those affected by past harm he also uses trauma-focused ideas to address distress linked to specific events.
People can expect a calm, direct style that focuses on clear goals and step-by-step change. Phillip encourages reflection on how past relationships affect current patterns, and on small experiments to improve communication and emotional regulation.
He asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire before the first session so he can prepare. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. Confirm current session formats before booking.

How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what a person says, helping them to feel understood and to find their own solutions. Online sessions can use that same conversational approach to clarify feelings and priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses straightforward exercises to change patterns. Delivered remotely, CBT often involves agreed homework and short structured check-ins between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Phillip will talk through options and decide collaboratively which methods fit the person’s goals and preferences. That discussion can happen in the first few meetings and be adjusted over time.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family commitments, avoid travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people choose quieter surroundings or turn off video if that helps them engage. Registered or accredited professionals often use remote sessions to maintain consistency of care while adapting to practical daily needs.
