About Philip
Philip Hynes is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has around 15 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. He works with people who are managing stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, anger and depression. Philip describes clients as the experts in their own stories and focuses on building from their existing strengths.
He offers straightforward, conversational support rather than lecturing or fixing. Sessions look at what causes repeated flare-ups of anger, how stress and isolation feed anxiety, and how addictive behaviours can become a way to cope. Philip helps people notice patterns and try small changes that make daily life easier.
His style is client-centred, so conversations are driven by what the person wants to address. That can mean talking through recent problems, reflecting on past events, or practising different ways to respond in heated moments. He encourages realistic steps rather than dramatic overhauls.
Philip has worked across contexts where grief, workplace issues and relationship strains come up alongside anger and addiction. He also supports those dealing with guilt, shame, jealousy and separation. Practical concerns like communication problems and social anxiety are part of his day-to-day work.
People wanting to begin usually complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first session. Philip accepts international clients and runs sessions in English. Costs vary with location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
How sessions work
Client-centred work and online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy places the person and their experience at the centre of sessions. The therapist listens, reflects what matters to the client and follows their priorities. This approach helps when people want support with anger, stress or grief by focusing on their own goals and resources rather than imposing solutions.Philip will work collaboratively to find an approach that fits the individual's needs and preferences. That means discussing what feels useful, trying different ways of talking about problems, and adjusting how sessions run over time. The choice of techniques and pace comes from shared decisions between client and counsellor.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and avoiding travel time. Online sessions can make it easier to keep regular appointments around work or family commitments, and they can be useful when someone prefers shorter check-ins or not being on camera. Because the original profile does not list specific session formats, confirm the current options before booking so you know what to expect.
