About Philip

Philip McKee is a counsellor who uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people facing stress, anxiety and addiction. He holds BACP registration and has worked in the UK for 10 years. Philip aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and clear.

He helps people who are dealing with grief and loss, or struggling with issues related to sexual orientation and identity. He also supports work on self-esteem, self-love, guilt and shame, and social anxiety or phobia.

Background and approach

Conversations are straightforward and focused on what matters most to the client. Philip creates a calm and non-judgemental space to talk about difficult emotions. Sessions are practical and grounded, with time to talk through feelings and to try new ways of coping.

He encourages small changes that fit into everyday life. Over ten years he has worked with many situations that cause ongoing stress. That experience informs how he helps people prioritise problems and set realistic goals.

He explains options clearly and checks in about what is helping. Philip sees the therapeutic relationship as a partnership. He offers steady support as people work towards greater wellbeing and clearer direction in life.

If someone wants to explore goals, manage difficult feelings or make different choices, he helps them map the next steps.

Focus areas and approaches

Everything Philip lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

Working with evidence-based approaches online

Philip uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding patterns of thought and behaviour and building practical coping skills. One common method helps people notice unhelpful thought patterns and try small changes to reduce anxiety and stress. Another approach concentrates on coping strategies and routines that support recovery from addictive behaviours and improve day-to-day functioning.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Philip will discuss different options, listen to your goals and suggest methods that suit your situation. Together you will review what works and adjust the plan as therapy progresses.

Online therapy with Philip is offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is useful for a fuller conversation and visual connection. Phone sessions can be easier when internet bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging allow ongoing contact between sessions and can make it simpler to reflect in writing. These options aim to give flexibility so therapy can fit around work, family and travel commitments.
