About Philip

Philip Hazlehurst is a BACP registered counsellor with 15 years of professional experience working with people across the United Kingdom. He is registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which is the UK professional body for counselling and psychotherapy. Philip runs a private practice where he supports individuals facing a wide range of difficulties including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and issues affecting LGBT people.

He believes that counselling can be a significant step and that having the right person alongside you matters. Philip values the power of talking and creating space to explore thoughts and feelings with someone who listens and understands. He also draws on his own experience of having received counselling to inform his empathetic approach to others.

Philip works in a client-centered way, prioritising the needs and perspectives of the person he is working with. He is also skilled in mindfulness techniques that often help with anxiety and depression, and in cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) to address patterns of thinking and behaviour. Philip takes a pragmatic view that many life difficulties connect to experiences of loss, and he aims to help clients find the path that best fits their situation and goals.

Therapeutic approaches for online support

Client-centered therapy focuses on the individual's experience, offering a respectful, non-judgemental space where the therapist follows the client's lead to build self-understanding and personal growth. This approach is often helpful for people facing life transitions, relationship difficulties, and feelings of emptiness.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) helps identify and change unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaviour. It is practical and goal-oriented, commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.

Mindfulness therapy teaches attention and awareness skills that can reduce reactivity to difficult thoughts and feelings, supporting people dealing with anxiety, low mood, and ongoing stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Philip will work collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they can adapt techniques and pace to suit the individual.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit counselling around work, family, and mobility considerations. For many people, this accessibility helps maintain continuity of care and makes regular sessions more manageable with everyday life.
