About me
Counsellor & Psychotherapist
I am DBS checked to work with children and adults.
I offer person-centred, humanistic therapy but also integrate other forms of therapy to suit your needs such as CBT, Mindfulness, Play Therapy (children), etc.
My background is working in care with children, young people, adults and also those with disabilities and learning disabilities.
If your issue is uncomfortable to talk about or you have had a bad experience talking about it, be reassured all of my clients feel able to talk without judgement. If your issue is more 'niche' or you feel you can't talk to people you know, please contact me. If you would like to message me instead of phoning, please email me at phil@philipanthonycounselling.com
If you contact me via email, please check your spam or junk folder for a response. I always try to reply within 48 hours. Thank You.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred).
Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision.
Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training.
All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
