Philippa Hobson

People come to therapy for many different reasons. Perhaps you are navigating a life challenge, processing difficult feelings, or simply seeking time to reflect. Whatever brings you here, I aim to provide a steady, non-judgemental relationship so you can share your experiences, thoughts and feelings more easily. I work integratively, drawing on different therapeutic approaches depending on what seems most helpful to you, and relationally, working collaboratively in partnership at a manageable pace. I will listen, seek to understand, and be alongside you with warmth and compassion as we explore whatever feels hard.

Many clients come to me for support with work-related stress and anxiety, grief and bereavement, pain or health issues, relationship or family challenges. Other clients come because they are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, low, stressed, anxious, guilty, confused, fearful, sad, angry or disconnected. We can begin with a feeling or a situation, whatever and wherever feels most useful for you.

If you are considering therapy but are not sure if it’s right for you, feel free to book a 15-minute introductory call  to explore. This is an opportunity for you to tell me what's going on for you, why you might want therapy, and to ask any questions about how we could work together. Feel free to contact me by phone or email to book.

I work face to face in Herne Hill and Crystal Palace. I offer a small number of online appointments for those who are seeking support nationwide. I also offer a small number of concessionary places for students, and those working in not for profit organisations, or the NHS. 

Before booking a full session, I offer a free 15-minute video consultation. In this call, if you would like to go ahead and work together we will set a date for the first session. In this first session I will ask you a few more in-depth questions, about your current situation as well as your past.
