About Phillippa
Phillippa Stacy is a BACP therapist in the United Kingdom with nine years' experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, anger and depression. She also supports those dealing with addictions, intimacy concerns, sleep and eating issues, and challenges to self-esteem.
Phillippa describes her practice as client-centred and direct. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside approaches such as cognitive behavioural therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy. Sessions concentrate on understanding feelings, spotting unhelpful patterns, and trying different ways of responding in everyday life.
Her background includes a BA (Hons) in Humanistic and Integrative Counselling and a Diploma in Clinical Supervision. She is a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, MBACP. Those qualifications inform her work with individual clients and with therapists she supervises.
Pillipa draws on personal experience of living with a chronic autoimmune condition. She says that experience has shaped how she listens and the practical support she offers. In sessions she aims to help people recognise recurring scripts, make clearer choices, and take steps that feel manageable.
People who come for therapy can expect straightforward feedback and a focus on what they want to change. Phillippa works to help clients develop greater agency, clearer communication and more constructive ways of coping with life changes.
How her approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and working with strong emotions and the interaction patterns they create. It can help people understand why they fall into the same relational or emotional cycles and try new responses. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical steps for accepting difficult thoughts while acting in line with personal values, useful for anxiety, low mood and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connection patterns shape current relationships and emotional responses, helping people spot and change recurring dynamics.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Phillippa will discuss what feels most useful and adapt methods to the client's goals and preferences. That discussion is collaborative and may draw on elements from EFT, ACT or client-centred practice as needed.
Session formats were not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter or more flexible check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often find that remote sessions help maintain continuity of care for people living abroad or balancing caregiving and work commitments.
