A Note From Phil

I’m Glad You Found Your Way Here

I believe in the power of stories and genuine connection. Each of us carries a story, and often the most meaningful parts are the ones we haven’t yet had space to share. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or tired of holding everything together, you don’t have to do it alone.

Therapy is a chance to slow down and make space for yourself. Together, we can explore what’s been weighing on you with care and curiosity, and begin moving toward a life that feels more intentional, balanced, and true to you. Whether you’re seeking virtual counselling for anxiety and depression, online support for burnout, or virtual therapy for life transitions, I offer a supportive space to walk alongside you.

My Approach

I believe therapy works best when it feels like a real partnership. Your story, your pace, and your comfort are always at the center of our work. My role is to offer a steady, supportive space where you can bring whatever you’re carrying without judgment.

I draw on approaches such as Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy online, narrative therapy, and mindfulness, while keeping things flexible so we can find what feels right for you. Sometimes that means exploring different parts of yourself. Other times, it’s noticing the patterns and stories you carry, or simply slowing down together to pay attention to what you’re feeling in the moment. We may also look at how past experiences still shape your life today and explore new ways forward that feel lighter and more freeing.

Above all, my approach blends compassionate listening with practical tools you can carry into your daily life. This way, you’ll feel supported in the session and also empowered with strategies that help you work toward your goals.

What Therapy With Me Feels Like

People often describe me as calm, compassionate, and easy to talk to. Therapy with me will feel human and supportive, never clinical or detached. Our time together will be grounded in trust, kindness, and the right touch of humour when it helps. My hope is that you feel truly seen and understood, while also discovering tools and insights that help you move toward the life you want with more space to breathe.

About Me

Before training as a counsellor, I worked in education and communications, where I learned the value of listening closely and noticing what really matters. I feel most grounded in nature and often find clarity when I am out hiking or spending time outdoors.

I also love cooking and exploring international food, which for me is a way of connecting with cultures, creativity, and the people I care about. Living and working in different parts of the world has given me a deep respect for people’s resilience and the many ways we adapt and grow.

Outside of work, you will often find me on a trail or in the kitchen trying something new.
