About Paul
Paul Phillips is a counsellor registered with NCPS (National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society) and has six years of practice in the United Kingdom. He offers support for anger alongside related concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress and addiction. He aims to help people who find themselves snapping at loved ones, building resentment, or struggling to manage frustration at work.
He uses talking-based approaches that match the person’s needs rather than one fixed method. Sessions focus on understanding what has led to the current difficulty and on practical steps that make daily life more manageable. Paul names Person-Centred work, Cognitive Behavioural approaches, psychodynamic thinking and solution-focused strategies among his methods.
Paul describes his way of working as collaborative. People set goals together and review progress as they go. He pays attention to life events such as bereavement, relationship strain, parenting pressures and issues around identity while helping people discover clearer ways to respond under stress.
He draws on experience with mood conditions, trauma and substance issues to help clients tackle patterns that maintain anger and low mood. That can mean looking at thoughts and behaviours, past experiences that shape reactions, and small practical changes to behaviour.
Sessions can be arranged online and are intended to fit into everyday routines. Before booking, people are asked to confirm the exact session formats offered. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How Paul blends approaches in online sessions
Paul often uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change the behaviours that fuel anger and low mood. CBT is practical and tends to focus on current patterns and skills to manage stress and reactions.He also works in a Person-Centred way, which centres on the client's experience and on open conversation to explore feelings and values. This approach can help when anger links to identity, shame, isolation or relationship issues.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Paul will talk through goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before, then try methods that fit the person’s situation. That collaborative testing helps shape sessions as things progress.
The profile notes he offers virtual counselling sessions, so confirm the exact online formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family commitments, shorten travel time and allow for steadier weekly contact when needed. It can also allow quieter check-ins that do not need to be on camera or longer sessions when more time is useful.
