About Phillippa
Phillippa Stacy offers therapy for people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship difficulties and issues with self-esteem. She also supports those facing trauma, addiction, anger, eating or sleeping problems, and the strain of caregiving. Phillippa's work is grounded in a client-centred approach and shaped by nine years of practice and reflection.
Pillippa draws on practical methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside attachment-focused ideas. Sessions are conversational and straightforward. Phillippa helps people notice unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, then try small, doable changes in day-to-day life.
She brings personal experience of living with a long-term autoimmune condition, which informs her understanding of chronic illness and caregiving stress. That lived perspective shapes a compassionate but direct style in sessions. Clients are invited to speak plainly about what is hard and to work at a pace that suits them.
Pillippa holds a BA (Hons) in Humanistic and Integrative Counselling and a Diploma in Clinical Supervision. She is a BACP Therapist - Registered Member MBACP. These qualifications sit alongside her practice and supervision work.
Her aim is to create a non-judgemental space where people can rethink their personal scripts and make choices that support wellbeing. Conversations focus on practical steps, clearer communication, and rebuilding confidence to manage life changes and difficult emotions.
Using client-centred and action‑focused work online
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following the person's lead. It aims to create a calm space where someone can talk through what matters and feel heard. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing values-based actions that bring life closer to what matters. Attachment-based ideas look at how past relationships shape present patterns and help people try different ways of relating.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Phillippa will discuss different methods and, together with the client, decide which mix feels most useful for the goals they have. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins from a quieter place or during a work break. It also lets someone work with a therapist in the United Kingdom while being located elsewhere if that suits their needs.
