Therapists in United Kingdom

Phil Shaw

I believe therapy can be truly transformative, offering a space to explore past experiences and how they shape our present. This belief comes from my work as both a therapist and a client. I work collaboratively with my clients to create a safe, empowering environment where they can make more productive meaning about their world and relationships.
My approach is grounded in empathy, curiosity, and acceptance, but when appropriate I also offer constructive challenge. I meet each person where they are, encouraging deeper reflection and new perspectives.
Much of my experience involves supporting individuals with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, family dynamics, autism, trauma, and issues related to sex, gender, and sexuality.

I offer a safe, non-judgemental space for you to share. We will work to explore situations at your pace to see how your emotions may be affecting you in the present day. This can be through set short-term or long-term work, my clients lead the sessions.

My approach is based in person-centred, mindful therapy which is less directive and more enabling you to recognise and develop your own inner resources. They are present within you but may have become entangled, buried or distorted through challenging life experiences. I offer a warm, welcoming and safe space to explore with you, how together, we unravel the knots to reveal who you are really meant to be, moving towards living a peaceful and joyful life.

As your counsellor, I can help you by listening to whatever is troubling you the aim being to help you explore and understand the events or situation that have prompted you to seek help. I can help you explore any kind of problem, whether it is trying to make sense of a past life experience that is causing you some emotional pain, or a current problem that you are finding hard to cope with on your own, or perhaps a fear of something in the future which is holding you back. I strongly believe that having a safe space to talk, without judgment, can help you get clarity and empower you to move forward and make clear decisions about what you can do to improve your life.

Whatever your current situation I want to help you build a vital, engaged and satisfying life. There are times when we all feel stuck and defeated. And yet if we open ourselves to the possibility of change then a way forward can be found. Working together as a team we will explore your current situation identifying both strengths and sticking points. I will encourage you to investigate your own experience using methods like ACT and Emotion Focused Therapy. Through new experiences a fresh, more workable, way of being in the world will emerge.
I provide a calm, safe environment which allows you to talk freely about your thoughts and emotions. My approach is based on building a trusting relationship, which enables both support and challenge.
