About Philippa
Philippa Casement is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP accreditation and brings four years of professional experience to her work. Philippa aims to help people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, low mood, or difficult life changes.
She keeps sessions straightforward and focused on what matters to the person in front of her. Conversations are paced to the client - sometimes practical problem solving, sometimes a gentler exploration of feelings.
Background and approach
She encourages people to talk honestly about stress, eating concerns, trauma, addictions and relationship strain. Philippa uses a mix of approaches to match a person's needs. She draws on Narrative ideas to help clients reframe stories they tell about themselves.
She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to support values-based choices and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for clearer thinking and coping strategies. Attachment-based and client-centred ways of working shape how she builds trust in sessions. That means listening carefully, reflecting what she hears, and creating space for difficult emotions.
Philippa pays close attention to issues like abandonment, body image, blended family strain and obsessive thoughts. People who come to her often want help with grief, parenting stress, career uncertainty or mood disorders. She also supports those dealing with veteran and armed forces issues and problems that bring shame or isolation.
Her aim is to make the work practical and relevant to daily life.

Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Philippa directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
How narrative and ACT approaches work online
Philippa draws on Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from unhelpful stories they tell about their lives, and to identify alternative perspectives that feel more useful. Narrative work suits situations where past events or identity stories are making life harder. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to clarify values and build small, practical steps towards a more meaningful life; it can help with anxiety, low mood and stuck patterns. Attachment-based thinking guides how she listens and responds, especially when relationship patterns or early hurt affect current problems.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Philippa works collaboratively to decide what fits a client's goals and preferences. She will suggest methods, check what feels workable, and adjust the approach as the work unfolds so it remains relevant to daily life.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for those who need flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer written reflection or need support between calls. These options make it simpler to fit counselling around work, family life and travel while keeping the work focused and consistent.
