Psychotherapeutic Counselling
"Nothing can dim the light which shines from within." — Maya Angelou
About Phyllis
I know how it feels to take the first step in talking about our personal issues. Having experienced anxiety and depression during times in my own life, I bring a natural empathy and genuine understanding to each client.
I offer a safe space to explore, challenge, and understand your individual and unique experiences. With an extensive background in both mental health and charitable organisations, I tailor every session to you as an individual.
My integrative approach combines Humanistic, Psychodynamic and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) methods — creating space to explore how past experiences frame the present, whilst developing practical tools for daily life and authentic reconnection with yourself.
How I Work
Centring your inherent worth and capacity for growth. Together we explore your authentic self, free from judgment, with unconditional positive regard at the heart of every session.
Understanding how your past shapes your present. We gently examine patterns, relationships, and the unconscious influences that colour how you experience the world today.
Practical, evidence-based tools to manage daily challenges. Identifying thought patterns, building coping strategies, and creating meaningful change in how you think and feel.
Areas of Support
I meet people who experience a wide variety of life challenges. Every session is tailored to you.
I offer a warm space of empathy, support and understanding.
Client Voices
Phyllis is a wonderful therapist who genuinely cares. My work with her helped eliminate my negative mindset, identify, accept and release a lot of emotional baggage I had been carrying for decades.
I was nervous at the start due to me being autistic, as many people assume my autism is the main reason for my struggles. However, this was never the case with Phyllis! She supported me through all my issues, showed me how to manage situations more efficiently, and taught me how to express my thoughts and feelings in a journal. I wouldn't hesitate to seek her help if needed in the future.
Phyllis was invaluable in supporting me through a very stressful and worrying time when I felt very alone. I felt very at ease talking with her — she listened without judging and helped me express my feelings and believe they were valid.
Trusting in the ability to heal ourselves is our greatest strength.
