Philippa Casement, BACP

Philippa Casement is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with a British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) accreditation and four years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are anxious, stressed or facing mood difficulties. She also supports those dealing with trauma, eating and addiction issues. Philippa aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and supported.

In sessions she builds a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about painful thoughts and feelings. She listens and reflects, helping clients notice what matters to them and what gets in the way of change. Conversations are practical and grounded, with steps that people can try between meetings.

Philippa uses several approaches that suit different needs, including cognitive behavioural ideas and therapies that focus on emotions and relationships. She helps people understand patterns - for example around control, self-esteem, body image or difficult family dynamics - and find ways to change them. Work can cover grief, relationship strain, parenting challenges and career stress among other concerns.

Her background includes work with mood disorders, obsessive and compulsive behaviours, and issues linked to military service. She offers therapy in English and accepts international clients. If someone wants to begin, she supports them through the initial matching and scheduling steps so they can find a plan that fits their life.

Sessions use a subscription system that can be cancelled at any time, and fees vary by location and therapist availability. Prospective clients are encouraged to confirm current session options before booking.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and commit to actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, avoidance and major life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and often includes practical exercises to reduce anxiety or change mood patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationship patterns affect current difficulties and can help with issues such as abandonment, trust and family-related struggles.

Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work collaboratively to test what helps most and adapt the focus as needs change. This means sessions can shift between learning skills, talking through past experiences, and planning small experiments to try between meetings.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Many people find online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, for example by avoiding travel or fitting a brief check-in into a workday. Online work also allows use of practical tools during sessions, such as guided exercises, written worksheets and joint planning for tasks to do between meetings.
