About Philip Gilson-Smith

Philip Gilson-Smith (NCPS) is an integrative therapeutic counsellor practicing privately in the United Kingdom. He works with adults facing a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, addiction, loss, recovery from domestic abuse, confidence and self-esteem issues, and relationship difficulties. Philip draws on an integrative approach to tailor sessions to each person's needs and priorities, helping clients to gain clarity and practical direction for moving forward.

Philip's main area of emphasis is identifying unconscious patterns that can undermine growth, success and personal development. He supports clients in recognizing those patterns, exploring their origins, and developing tools and strategies to interrupt cycles that hold them back. Whether someone is seeking clearer goals, practical problem-solving, or a deeper understanding of recurring difficulties, Philip approaches the work as a collaborative exploration of the landscape of the self.

Philip welcomes people who are ready to make changes and is available to work with individuals who need focused short-term support or longer term therapeutic work. He invites anyone who has matters they would like to address to reach out and begin a conversation about the best way to move toward meaningful breakthroughs.
