Phil Brooke

Dr Philip Brooke, counselling psychologist: I work in an integrative way, which means I can draw upon different approaches to psychological therapy (CBT, psychodynamic & humanistic, trauma focused).

I place the therapeutic relationship at the heart of my work- this means respecting and accepting you as you are, while supporting you enough to help you to make changes in your life that feel meaningful to you.

I currently work part-time in the NHS in a secondary care psychological therapies service offering group and individual therapy, and I am trained in EMDR (trauma therapy) and CAT (cognitive analytical therapy) - see http://www.acat.me.uk/page/about+cat for more information.

I have experience working with grief, neuro-diversity, from anxiety and depression through to more complex and enduring mental health problems, brief and long term therapy, and also in LGBTQ mental health.

I trained in counselling psychology at London Metropolitan University and qualified at the beginning of 2020. I am registered with the Health & Care Professions Council (HCPC), the Association of Cognitive Analytical Therapy (ACAT), and the EMDR Association UK. I am also a member of the British Psychological Society (BPS) and registered with the BPS under the protected title of Chartered Counselling Psychologist (CPsychol).
