About Phillippa
Phillippa Stacy offers support for stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, anger, depression, addictions and a wide range of life pressures. She helps with intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, self-esteem and career worries. People also come to her for help with bipolar mood challenges, coping with life changes and compassion fatigue.
Percipient and direct, Phillippa draws on nine years of practice to help people notice the patterns that keep them stuck.
Background and approach
She uses clear, conversational language and practical steps rather than clinical jargon. Sessions focus on what matters to the person in front of her and on building small, manageable changes. Her work includes attention to attachment issues, body image, caregiver stress, chronic pain or illness, communication problems and difficulties around control and dissociation.
She also supports people navigating divorce and separation, bereavement, hoarding, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and isolation or loneliness. Pillars of her approach include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based ideas, Client-Centred work, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. Phillippa also trained in Humanistic and Integrative Counselling and holds a Diploma in Clinical Supervision, which informs her reflective, person-focused style.
Having personal experience of living with a degenerative autoimmune condition shapes her empathy and practical outlook. She aims to create an honest, non-judgemental space where people can update unhelpful life scripts and gain greater self-agency. The emphasis is on real choices, clearer communication and steady progress.

How Phillippa works online
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy journey. Phillippa works collaboratively to choose or blend methods based on each person’s needs, goals and preferences. She will talk through options and check in regularly to make sure the way of working remains helpful.
Please confirm available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, it can reduce travel time, allow a shorter check-in during a work break, or avoid the need to be on camera if that helps someone feel more comfortable. Many people find that regular remote sessions still allow focused, practical work and steady progress with issues such as anxiety, grief and relationship patterns.
