Philip Hazlehurst is a BACP counsellor with 15 years of experience.

About Philip

Philip Hazlehurst is a BACP counsellor with 15 years of experience. He practises from his own practice and works with people across the United Kingdom. He aims to make counselling feel straightforward and approachable for someone taking that first step.

Philip believes talking can help untangle difficult feelings. He draws on his own experience of having had counselling to stay attuned to what a person needs in the room. He focuses on listening first and then helping people find practical ways to move forward.

Background and approach

Philip uses a person-centred way of working alongside mindfulness and cognitive behavioural therapy, choosing methods that suit each person. Mindfulness can help with anxiety and low mood, and CBT is used to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Philip prefers to adapt these approaches to the individual rather than follow one fixed plan.

His main areas include stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and LGBTQ concerns. He also supports people facing issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, blended family challenges, illness or chronic pain, caregiver strain, relationship and communication problems, and separation or divorce. Sessions are offered in English and available by video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging.

Fees vary with location and therapist availability and are charged through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to availability.

How Philip uses different approaches in online therapy

Philip works from a person-centred foundation, which means sessions begin with listening and understanding your concerns. This approach helps people feel heard and shapes the direction of the work.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thought patterns and practical behaviours that keep problems going. It is often used for anxiety and depression and includes simple exercises to try between sessions. Mindfulness therapy focuses on present-moment awareness and gentle practices to reduce reactivity and calm the mind, which many find useful for stress and ongoing worry.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Philip will discuss goals, try methods that suit your needs, and adjust the plan as you work together. He aims to match techniques to what feels most helpful rather than imposing a fixed model.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat and text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video lets you use visual connection for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or you want a simpler check-in. Live chat and messaging suit shorter updates or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to continue work even when travel or location are a barrier.
