About Philippa Hall

I have been involved in the caring profession for many years while teaching and working as an Holistic Therapist.
I consider it very important for people to be able to talk about the issues that affect their lives.
Everyone needs someone to listen to them in a non-judgemental way, to be supportive, in essence to care about them.
I have trained as an Integrative therapist with a person-centred approach and I firmly believe that understanding the effects that other people and situations have on you, from birth onwards, will help you to resolve unhelpful emotional and behavioural habits.
Counselling offers a safe place to explore the issues that affect your life and will help you understand the reasons why you react the way you do in certain situations.
Understanding yourself will empower you to make changes and shed unhelpful habits. You will feel that you have choices. You will feel able to make changes.
As a counsellor I will journey with you giving you support until you are ready to ‘go it’ alone.
Believe it or not, every one of us has the answers to our problems, sometimes it just takes a while for us to realise it – a counsellor can help move you in the right direction.
Counselling can help you with -
Emotional issues
Depression
Stress
Bereavement
Self esteem and self confidence

I currently work for a charity supporting those who have survived any kind of sexual violence and abuse, either as a child or an adult. I have also undertaken training on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults.
Prior to retraining as a counsellor I spent many years in the teaching profession dealing and interacting with people from all walks of life. Being a personal tutor and helping students in a pastoral way helped me to decide that counselling would be a productive area in which to work.
