About Philip

Philip Hazlehurst is a BACP counsellor with 15 years of experience. He runs a independent practice and works with people across the United Kingdom, guiding them through difficult moments with patience and warmth. Philip believes talking can make a real difference.

He draws on his own experience of counselling to offer straightforward, non-judgemental support. Sessions aim to help people name their feelings and think about small, practical steps forward. He uses a person-centred style so the conversation follows what matters to each client.

Background and approach

He also uses mindfulness techniques to help with anxiety and low mood. Cognitive behavioural therapy is available when thinking patterns and behaviours need clearer focus. Philip commonly helps with stress, anxiety, grief, trauma and depression.

He also supports concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, communication problems, and the stresses of caregiving or serious illness. He works with issues linked to identity, including LGBT matters, and with people affected by domestic or sexual violence. Sessions are offered across a range of formats, so people can choose what fits their life.

Philip aims to build a working relationship that feels manageable and practical. He helps clients find a pace and plan that suit their goals.

How Philip's approaches work online

Philip uses a person-centred approach that puts the client's experience first. This means sessions begin by listening closely to what matters most to the person and shaping the work around their priorities. It is useful for people who need a compassionate space to talk and be heard.

He also integrates mindfulness practice to help reduce anxiety and lift low mood. These are simple attention and breathing exercises that can be practised during or between sessions to improve calm and focus. Cognitive behavioural therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking and to test small behaviour changes that can lead to clearer mood and thinking patterns.

Choosing the right approach is something he does with each client. He will discuss options, try different methods and check what feels helpful. The aim is a collaborative path that fits a person's goals and preferences rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to give flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that helps. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options help people fit therapy around work, family or treatment commitments and make it easier to maintain continuity over time.
