About Phillippa
Phillippa Stacy is a BACP therapist with nine years of clinical experience based in the United Kingdom. She helps people managing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, relationship difficulties, addiction concerns and coping with life changes. Phillippa also supports people dealing with intimacy questions, parenting strain, sleep and eating issues, and compassion fatigue.
Her approach is practical and direct. Sessions focus on noticing patterns of thought and repeated behaviours that keep problems going. She uses clear, structured methods alongside client-centred listening to map what feels stuck and what might change.
Pillars of her work include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, used alongside attachment-informed and emotionally-focused ideas. Phillippa aims to help people update unhelpful personal scripts and improve everyday coping, rather than offering quick fixes.
Phillippa draws on lived experience of a long-term degenerative autoimmune condition, which she says has informed her understanding of chronic stress and illness-related challenges. She also offers clinical supervision for other therapists, using her background in humanistic and integrative counselling.
People who choose her can expect straightforward feedback, clear goals, and practical steps to try between sessions. The focus is on making manageable changes that fit into daily life, improving communication, and reducing repetitive unhelpful reactions.
How her approaches translate to online work
Phillippa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in ways that fit practical online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different responses; it helps with anxiety, low mood and repetitive patterns. ACT looks at values and committed action, helping people make workable changes even when difficult thoughts or feelings remain.She also draws on attachment-informed ideas to notice how relationship patterns shape current problems and to improve communication and emotional connection. These approaches are explained plainly and used to set clear goals and exercises people can try between sessions.
Deciding which method to use is part of the early work. Phillippa will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before, and together they will choose a practical route forward. This is a collaborative process and may combine more than one approach over time.
