About Phillippa
Phillippa Stacy offers therapy for people facing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship difficulties, grief and issues with self-esteem. She also supports those coping with addiction, trauma, eating and sleeping problems, bipolar mood swings and the strain of caring for others. Phillippa brings a straightforward and compassionate manner to sessions.
Her style is open, honest and direct. She listens for the patterns that keep people stuck and helps them test new ways of thinking and acting.
Background and approach
Conversations in therapy focus on making clearer choices, rebuilding self-agency and updating unhelpful life scripts. Phillippa uses a mix of approaches that include Existential therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-based work alongside client-centred and cognitive behavioural tools. That blend allows practical skills work alongside deeper reflection about meaning, values and the bonds people form.
She holds a BA (Hons) in Humanistic and Integrative Counselling and is a BACP Therapist - Registered Member MBACP. She also has a Diploma in Clinical Supervision which informs how she structures sessions and supports professional practice. Phillippa draws on personal experience of living with a long-term degenerative autoimmune condition.
That perspective shapes her empathy and her focus on coping, adjustment and realistic goal-setting. Sessions aim to be a calm, non-judgemental place to untangle difficult thoughts and feelings. Over nine years of practice, Phillippa has helped people manage relationship strain, control issues, grief, loneliness and the ripple effects of chronic health problems.
Work together is collaborative and grounded in practical steps that fit everyday life.

Online support
How her approach works online
Existential therapy encourages people to look at what matters to them and how they want to live. It helps when life feels confusing, empty or overwhelming by focusing on values and personal choice.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical skills for noticing thoughts and feelings without being led by them. It is useful for anxiety, depression and coping with chronic health issues by helping people act in line with what matters.
Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds shape current relationships and emotional responses. It can help with communication problems, intimacy-related concerns and patterns of isolation or mistrust.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try different techniques and agree a plan that fits the client’s needs and preferences. That collaboration helps tailor sessions so they feel meaningful and useful.
Online therapy offers flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing or need brief, on-the-go support. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or health commitments.
