02 · In Philip's own words
Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.
I'm a therapist with over a decade of experience supporting clients through life's most pressing challenges. I work with individuals navigating stress, anxiety, career transitions, and the complexities of intimate relationships. My practice is grounded in compassion and a deep commitment to helping people communicate more effectively, find meaningful purpose, and build healthier connections.
I specialize in working with men on issues ranging from fatherhood and sexuality to workplace dynamics and identity. I'm also experienced in supporting clients through feelings of isolation, guilt, shame, and codependency-as well as the unique challenges that come with aging and life transitions.
My approach is person-centered and collaborative. I believe in meeting you where you are, listening without judgment, and working together to address the patterns and beliefs that may be holding you back. Whether you're facing communication struggles, questions about your life direction, or concerns about control and boundaries, I'm here to help you move toward greater clarity and authenticity.
I'm honored to walk alongside you in your healing journey.

03 · What happens next
Philip practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Philip's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.
BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Philip at this point.
BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Philip is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Philip.
You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.
A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.
Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.
