About Philip

Philip Hynes works with stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, anger and depression using a client-centred way of working. He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 15 years of experience in the field.

He listens for what matters most to each person and helps them use their own strengths to handle difficult situations. Sessions focus on talking through current problems and building practical ways to manage day-to-day stress and strong emotions. Philip emphasises the person’s own views and choices when planning what to do next.

Philip has supported people dealing with relationship breakdown, communication problems and workplace stress. He also works with issues such as guilt, shame, isolation and social anxiety, and offers help with process addictions including gambling, porn and exercise. He has experience with veterans and armed forces issues.

In sessions he pays attention to how feelings and patterns show up in everyday life. That might mean looking at ways to reduce anxiety, set boundaries, or change habits that are causing harm. He also discusses coping strategies for grief and anger so they feel more manageable.

Philip aims for clear, practical conversations rather than jargon. He encourages small steps that fit into normal routines and reviews progress as work continues. Prospective clients can expect a direct, respectful approach that keeps the person’s goals at the centre.

How Philip uses client-centred work online

Client-centred therapy focuses on the person’s own views and strengths. The counsellor listens without directing the story and helps the person clarify what matters to them. This approach can help with anxiety, low mood, grief and relationship issues by making space to understand feelings and choices.

When working on addictions or anger the emphasis is on practical steps the person chooses. Conversations often cover triggers, daily routines and small changes that reduce harm. For grief and loss the work allows the person to talk about what they are carrying and to find ways to cope with difficult days.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. Philip will discuss what helps and adapt the way he works to the person’s goals and preferences. The aim is a collaborative plan that fits what the person wants to achieve.
