Philippa Rashbrook

I offer 50 minute appointments Monday to Thursday, 9am to 6pm. Please get in touch to find a time that works for you.

I have almost 20 years experience as a counsellor, supporting young people (12 years +) and adults, with a range of issues such as anxiety, depression, bereavement, living with ADHD, relational difficulties, significant life changes, trauma and more.

My passion is to help people overcome issues they feel limit them, to enable them to live more peaceful , fulfilled lives.  We all have times when life just doesn’t seem to work how we would like it to.  I provide a professional space where your concerns can be explored safely and confidentially, allowing you to come to a greater understanding of yourself.  You can then make more informed choices going forward, bringing a greater sense of well-being.  I tailor my work to each individual, drawing from my extensive training background and experience.

My work is ‘person-centred’ which means you and your unique issues and needs are the central concern. My belief that we all have unique intrinsic value, comprising body, mind, soul and spirit, is reflected in my work where I provide a peaceful, un-judging space to hear and work with your concerns.

I have worked in education settings and from my home office in Private Practice where I have received referrals from GPs, parents, the Police, Social Services in addition to self-referrals.

I have a particular interest in trauma recovery - be that from growing up in difficult circumstances or ‘one off’ traumatic incidents.  The legacy of physical, mental and emotional symptoms that traumas can leave behind are worked with in a sensitive, respectful way.  I have trained with the Sensorimotor Psychotherapy Institute, which is dedicated to trauma recovery.

I offer in-person appointments at my office in Milford-on-Sea, Hampshire, and online appointments.  Milford-on-Sea is very close to the boarder between Dorset and Hampshire, within easy reach of Lymington, Barton-on-Sea, Christchurch, Lyndhurst, Ringwood and  Bournemouth.

Appointments are usually weekly and for 50 minutes, but varies slightly according to individual preference/ need.

I work from my ground-floor home office, providing a peaceful space, with easy parking.

Please get in touch with your queries and I’ll be happy to help.

I offer a free initial 15 minute telephone call if you would like to talk through your initial queries and to get a feel for how our work might progress.

In the first full appointment, there will be space to answer any further queries, and to go through the Client Agreement which outlines the practical administrative side of our working agreement.  I will also ask you to complete a Confidential Personal Details form if you are happy to do so.
