About Phillippa
Phillippa Stacy is a BACP therapist with nine years' experience based in the United Kingdom. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, grief, anger, addictions and major life changes. Phillippa also supports people dealing with intimacy concerns, sleep or eating problems, parenting strain, and issues around self‑esteem and career direction.
Her way of working is straightforward and client‑centred. Phillippa describes an open, honest and direct style that helps people look at patterns of thinking and behaviour. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings as well as exploring the feelings behind choices and habits.
Phillippa draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment‑Based work. She uses these methods to help people notice unhelpful cycles, test new responses, and strengthen how they manage relationships and stress. Emotionally‑Focused and client‑centred ideas also shape how she responds in session.
Her own experience of living with a chronic degenerative autoimmune condition informs her understanding of long‑term illness, caregiving strain and hospice or end‑of‑life concerns. That perspective can be relevant when coping with ongoing health or caregiver stress.
Phillippa also offers clinical supervision for other therapists, drawing on a diploma in clinical supervision. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session to discuss goals and practical steps.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people settle on what matters to them and take small steps in that direction while accepting difficult feelings. It can be useful when someone feels stuck or unsure what to prioritise. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thinking and behaviour patterns that keep problems going and testing new ways of responding; it often helps with anxiety, low mood and unhelpful routines. Attachment‑Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current connections and communication, which can support work on intimacy and relationship problems.Finding the best approach is part of the work. Phillippa will discuss these approaches with the client and agree together which methods to try based on goals, preferences and how things are going in session. That collaborative choice can be revisited as progress is made.
The practical benefits of meeting with a registered therapist online include fitting sessions around work, family and care commitments and making it easier to keep regular appointments. If needing a shorter check‑in or avoiding video for a session is helpful, confirm which formats are offered when booking. Please check the current session options before arranging a first meeting so you know how sessions are delivered and can plan them into everyday life.
