About Philip
Philip Hynes is a counsellor who brings 15 years of experience working with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, anger and depression. He holds BACP accreditation, which is shown as BACP, and he approaches each person as the expert in their own life. Philip focuses on building a respectful working relationship and supporting practical steps toward change.
Philip believes small shifts add up. He listens first to understand what matters to the individual.
Background and approach
Then he helps people identify strengths and try approaches that suit their situation. Sessions are down-to-earth and paced to match what each person needs. Clients commonly come with problems such as communication breakdowns, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, loneliness, jealousy and workplace stress.
He also works with people dealing with process addictions including pornography, exercise and gambling concerns, and with issues experienced by veterans and armed forces personnel. Philip uses a client-centred approach that keeps the person’s own goals in focus. That means he follows what the client brings and helps them make sense of it.
He supports practical ways to manage emotions and make decisions that feel right for the client. Sessions are conducted in English and he accepts international clients. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability.
The subscription used for sessions can be cancelled at any time.

How Philip works online
The aim is to work together to find what helps. The therapist will check in about what methods feel useful and adjust the way they work based on the person's needs, goals and preferences. Decisions about what to try are collaborative rather than imposed.
Please confirm the current session options before booking since the biography does not list formats. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some people find it simpler to join a session from a place that is quieter or when a full in-person appointment would be hard to arrange. Registered or accredited professionals use online work to offer consistent support while keeping the focus on what the person wants to achieve.
