About Philip
Philip McKee is a counsellor with BACP registration and ten years of practice in the United Kingdom. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, grief and issues related to LGBT identity. Philip focuses on creating a calm, non-judgemental space where people can speak freely about difficult feelings.
In sessions he aims to make the first steps feel manageable. He works at a steady pace and listens for what matters most to each person.
Background and approach
People bring concerns such as low self-esteem, guilt and shame, or questions about life purpose, and he helps them untangle those patterns. Philip uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide conversations. He offers practical ways to manage social anxiety and phobia, and tools to cope with craving and loss.
The work often includes simple strategies you can use between meetings to reduce stress and build self-compassion. His approach is straightforward and collaborative. He checks in about what is working and adapts the pace to fit each person’s needs.
Philip also supports people exploring aspects of LGBT identity and the emotional effects that can follow. If you are thinking about counselling, Philip helps with the paperwork and next steps. He encourages small, steady changes rather than sudden fixes.
The focus is on clearer thinking, kinder self-talk, and practical ways to move forward.

How Philip’s approaches translate to online therapy
Philip draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage symptoms and make practical changes. One common approach he uses focuses on teaching skills to reduce anxiety and stress, such as breathing, paced exposure to feared situations and step-by-step coping strategies. These give clear tasks to practise between sessions and suit people wanting tangible tools. Another core strand involves working with thoughts and self-image to reduce guilt, shame and low self-esteem. This approach helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try out kinder, more balanced ways of thinking and acting. It can be useful for grief, life-purpose questions and relationship-related stress. Finding the best approach is part of the work. Philip treats therapy as a collaboration and checks in about what feels useful. He will discuss goals, preferences and options and adjust the methods used as progress is made. For practicalities, the biography does not list specific session formats, so readers should confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people choose a setting that helps them stay focused during the session, and it keeps continuity when life is otherwise disruptive.Questions people ask about Philip
