About Philip
Philip uses a person-centred approach that emphasises empathy, respect and pacing therapy to each individual. He blends focused psychological tools such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, motivational interviewing, mindfulness and practical problem-solving techniques to help clients address issues such as addiction, grief, motivation, panic and workplace pressures. His practice also attends to attachment and abandonment concerns, chronic pain and illness, loneliness, midlife transitions and men’s issues.
Clients can expect a calm, non-judgemental space to explore thoughts and feelings at their own pace. Philip aims to support people as they take the often-difficult first steps toward greater confidence, clearer communication and more sustainable coping strategies, providing guidance that is compassionate and goal oriented.

Therapeutic approaches and online care with Philip Keogh
Philip uses Client-Centred Therapy to place the client’s experience at the heart of sessions, offering warmth and empathy so people can explore feelings and values at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns and introduce practical strategies for managing anxiety, depression and stress. Motivational Interviewing supports people who are ambivalent about change by helping them clarify their goals and build internal motivation for steps such as addressing addiction or improving wellbeing.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Philip works with each person to shape a plan based on their needs, goals and preferences, adapting methods as progress is made and circumstances change, and drawing on appropriately qualified or registered professionals when additional support is needed.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit counselling into busy lives, reduce travel barriers and maintain continuity of care. These modes allow therapists to provide focused, accessible support while accommodating different communication styles and practical needs.
