Hello and Welcome!
I'm Philippa, a fully qualified and registered (BACP) psychological therapist working with adults in Gravesend and online. I'm making it my mission to dismantle stereotypes around mental health, supporting people in their most distressing times to feel supported and heard.
As a therapeutic counsellor I work with a range of issues, but have a particular interest in neurodivergence (Autism and ADHD). I recognise and embrace individual differences in the therapy room, and am committed to providing a respectful, inclusive and accessible service. I strive to ensure that each person's unique strengths and challenges are understood and valued.
My holistic approach empowers you to understand and embrace your identity; build resilience; gain self-awareness/compassion; and cultivate healthy relationships.
