I am Philippa, a counsellor, psychotherapist, supervisor and author with over 30 years experience. I trained originally at the Metanoia Institute in Integrative Psychotherapy. I have also trained in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy and Complex Trauma and Dissociation.

I am a visiting tutor at the Banbury Counselling Academy.

My special interest is in trauma. I have published several papers on the subject and contributed chapters in a book: ‘The Change Process in Psychotherapy During Troubling Times’ (2022: Routledge). My long held interest in working with the homeless and in training volunteers is in making theory accessible through psych-education and using straightforward tools to help regulate the nervous system.

My videos on the 20 point tour of trauma are soon to be released on U-Tube. Please look out for them as they give a great taster and my ideas about trauma!
