About Phillip

Phillip Mapoma helps people facing trauma, stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, anger and depression. He offers a calm presence and straightforward support for those dealing with abandonment, guilt, shame and family of origin concerns. Phillip works with people who want clearer communication, improved self-love or help processing post-traumatic stress and fatherhood issues.

He uses talking and practical tools rather than long lectures. Sessions aim to make emotions easier to name and manage.

Background and approach

Phillip focuses on the here and now, while also tracing how past events shape current reactions. Phillip draws on client-centred ways of working to build a trusting relationship. He also uses narrative therapy to help people rewrite unhelpful stories about themselves.

Cognitive behavioural techniques are introduced when helpful to change thinking patterns and reduce distress. With four years of professional experience, Phillip offers straightforward explanations and step-by-step ideas. He encourages people to set small goals between sessions and to notice practical changes as they happen.

He meets people where they are and adjusts the pace to their needs. Sessions are offered in English and accept international clients. Appointments can be arranged as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging.

Starting involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that suits the person.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Client-centred therapy focuses on the relationship between counsellor and client. It aims to offer acceptance and active listening so people can talk openly and find their own answers. This approach helps when someone needs understanding and a steady, non-judgemental space to think things through.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behaviour. It uses practical exercises and simple strategies to reduce anxiety, manage low mood and change unhelpful patterns. This approach can be useful for setting clear steps to feel better between sessions.

Narrative therapy helps people separate themselves from the problems they face. It invites clients to tell their story and then consider different interpretations or alternative endings. This can be especially helpful for issues like shame, guilt and identity struggles.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Phillip will discuss goals, try different methods and tailor sessions to each person's needs and preferences. The choice of method is collaborative and may change as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people see facial cues and build rapport, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits short check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life or geographic distance, while keeping the focus on steady progress.
