About Phillippa

Phillippa Stacy supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. She helps with grief, anger, addictions and problems with intimacy. Her work also covers sleep and eating issues, parenting strain, chronic illness, and feeling isolated or overwhelmed.

Phillippa takes a straightforward, person-centred approach. She listens carefully and asks practical questions to help people untangle repetitive thoughts and behaviours. Sessions aim to increase self-awareness and help people make clearer choices in their lives.

Background and approach

She describes her style as open, honest and direct. That means clear feedback and collaborative goal-setting rather than vague reassurance. Phillippa draws on several approaches to find what fits each person’s needs and goals.

P is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, MBACP. She has nine years of clinical experience and a BA (Hons) in Humanistic and Integrative Counselling, plus a Diploma in Clinical Supervision. Those studies inform her client-centred way of working.

Her own experience of living with a long-term autoimmune condition shapes her empathy and practical understanding of chronic illness and caregiving stress. She uses that perspective to help people who are adjusting to life changes or managing ongoing health challenges. Work in sessions may include exploring attachment patterns, noticing unhelpful thinking, practising new responses, and updating old personal scripts.

The overall aim is to increase agency so people can cope better and move forward with more confidence.

How Phillippa’s approaches work online

Phillippa often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts without being driven by them. ACT focuses on valued action and practical steps, which can suit people coping with anxiety, chronic illness or life transitions.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationship patterns affect current difficulties. This approach helps people understand recurring relationship dynamics and improve emotional connection with others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Phillippa will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That decision is reviewed over time so the plan can change as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversational work, while phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Messaging and live chat suit short check-ins, focused homework or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or health-related needs, and to meet with a registered professional from different locations.
