About Phillip
Phillip Mapoma helps people who are carrying the weight of trauma, abuse, anxiety, stress, grief, anger and depression. He also supports those facing relationship strain, communication problems, fatherhood questions, and feelings of guilt, shame or abandonment. Phillip introduces himself simply and directly to make the first contact less daunting.
He uses a calm, person-focused way of working that centres on what each person brings to the room. That means listening closely, reflecting what is said, and building practical steps together.
Background and approach
Sessions are straightforward and conversational rather than full of jargon. Phillip draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, narrative approaches and trauma-focused techniques to shape each person’s plan. He keeps explanations plain and offers tools that can be tried between sessions.
This helps people notice small changes sooner. With four years of experience, Phillip has worked with a range of trauma and relational issues and with people from diverse cultural backgrounds. He is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
Sessions are offered in English and available to people based in the United Kingdom and internationally. People can expect a collaborative tone, with space to tell their story and time to decide what practical next steps feel right.

Online support
Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect. It gives clear, practical exercises to try between sessions and is often used for anxiety, stress and depression.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Phillip will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they choose or adapt methods so sessions match the person’s needs and pace.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when travel is difficult, phone sessions use less bandwidth, and live chat or text messaging can be useful for shorter check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options offer flexibility and can help people keep continuity with therapy even when schedules change or travel is limited.
