About Philip Hazlehurst
He works in a client-centered way, prioritising the individual needs and pace of each person, and complements this with mindfulness skills to help manage anxiety and low mood. Philip also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques when they suit a client’s goals, aiming to find practical paths forward together. He accepts that many problems are linked to experiences of loss and sees that insight as a useful frame for exploring issues such as bereavement, life-changing illness, sexual and domestic violence, and trauma.
Philip has particular experience with LGBTQIA clients and with those coping with the aftermath of loss - whether that loss is of a loved one, a job, confidence or a sense of safety. His approach blends compassion with pragmatic tools so clients can explore difficult feelings and build clearer ways of coping.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support
Philip integrates client-centered therapy, mindfulness, and cognitive behavioral techniques into his online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, accepting space where the therapist follows the client’s lead - this approach suits people who need time to explore their feelings and make sense of personal loss or relationship issues. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple awareness and grounding practices that can reduce the intensity of anxious or depressive thinking and support emotional regulation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers concrete strategies to identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours, which can be particularly helpful for anxiety, low mood, and coping after trauma.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Philip works with each person to explore which methods feel most useful, adapting techniques to match their goals, preferences, and daily life. He views therapy as a partnership in which clients' experiences guide the choice of tools and pace.
Online therapy with Philip is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different needs and schedules. These options make it easier to access support from home or work and to continue therapy during busy or changing circumstances, while allowing registered professionals and therapists to tailor sessions to each person’s situation.
