About Phillip
Phillip Mapoma is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. He works with people who are dealing with trauma and abuse, stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, anger and depression. Phillip also focuses on concerns such as abandonment, communication problems, fatherhood issues, and family of origin difficulties.
Phillip uses straightforward conversation to help people talk through what is causing their anger or distress. He draws on Client-Centred Therapy to follow the client’s pace and concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try alternative ways of responding to triggers.
Narrative Therapy is another strand he uses to look at the stories people tell about themselves. In trauma-related work he incorporates trauma-focused ideas to reduce the ongoing impact of past events. Sessions are practical and aim to give clear steps people can try between meetings.
He works with multicultural issues and feelings of guilt or shame that often sit under anger. Phillip pays attention to relationship patterns and communication habits that keep problems repeating. He can help someone who is coping with another person’s anger as well as people who want to manage their own temper more effectively.

How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor. Online sessions using this approach involve the counsellor listening closely and following what the client wants to explore, which helps bring out the issues behind anger.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviours that feed anger. In online sessions this looks like noticing unhelpful thinking, testing small changes between meetings, and using simple exercises to change reactions at work or at home.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Phillip will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That choice is made together, based on what feels useful and manageable for the client.
