About Philip Smyth

Philip Smyth is a therapist who draws on both personal experience and professional training to support people through difficult times. After a career in business, he sought talking therapy for his own challenges and found it so helpful that he decided to train to help others. With four years of professional experience, he offers both face-to-face and online sessions to meet a range of needs.

Philip has worked with individuals on issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, family conflict, grief, and matters of faith. He also supports couples who want to repair trust, improve communication, and deepen emotional intimacy. His approach combines empathy with practical strategies to help clients build resilience and move toward the life they want.

He is a member of BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and brings a humble, nonjudgmental stance to his work. Philip recognises how hard it can be to ask for help and honours the courage it takes to reach out. He does not claim to have all the answers but aims to help people find their inner strengths and practical ways forward, and he looks forward to getting to know and work with new clients.
