A Bit About Me
Hi, I am Phil, a counsellor who works with adults who are struggling with certain aspects of their lives and are looking for positive changes.
After years of working in an unrelated industry, I chose to explore what came naturally to me and those skills that I naturally possessed, like empathy, compassion and listening pushed me in the direction of counselling and psychotherapy.
It wasn’t an easy journey, juggling, going back to college with family, and full-time work but being able to start Coast Counselling and experience the satisfaction of supporting clients in the many ways that counselling helps has been well worth it.
I bring a laid-back approach to the sessions, where we can work together, in an informal way to help you get where you want to be. You will not be judged, confidentially will be respected and you can choose the pace at which we work.
If you think we’d be a good fit, I’d be happy to give you a call so we can talk things through.

Counselling Services
Online
Coast’s online counselling service offers flexible, confidential support from the comfort of your own space and in your own time. We are dedicated to making our services accessible and affordable to adults across the UK.
Men's Counselling
Here at Coast we work with anyone from the age of 18 but specialise in working with men. Men are often taught to handle life’s challenges alone but unspoken stress and trauma can turn into anger, frustration, and relationship issues.
In Person
Coast provides a carefully designed space where you can talk openly and away from any distractions. There are several benefits of working in person for both the client ad therapist. Our space promotes all these benefits and more.
