Choosing a therapist is a big decision
We’ve supported children, families, and professionals across a range of settings.
Here’s what some of them have said:
Working with Phillip has been truly transformative. His genuine empathy, non-judgmental attitude, and insightful guidance have helped me overcome my personal struggles and achieve a renewed sense of self. I am forever grateful for his support and expertise.
Phillip creates a safe and nurturing space where I feel comfortable sharing my deepest thoughts and emotions. His ability to listen attentively and provide meaningful feedback has been instrumental in my healing journey. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking a compassionate and skilled therapist.
At Best Start Therapy, we understand that emotional wellbeing starts with feeling truly safe. We work with children and young people using play, creativity, and connection to facilitate their growth from the inside out and help encourage them to communicate their needs effectively. No pressure, no rush, just space to develop in a way that’s right for them.

Where growth starts from within
At Best Start Therapy, we understand that emotional wellbeing starts with feeling truly safe. We work with children and young people using play, creativity, and connection to facilitate their growth from the inside out and help encourage them to communicate their needs effectively. No pressure, no rush, just space to develop in a way that’s right for them.
Tailored support, grounded in research
At Best Start Therapy, we don’t use a one-size-fits-all model. Phill uses an integrative approach - drawing from a range of therapeutic methods and creative tools - to shape therapy around each child’s individual needs.
From neuroscience and attachment theory to Lego and puppets, we meet children where they are, and work in ways that feel natural, not forced.
Therapy that grows with the child
We believe that every child deserves the best start in life when it comes to their mental health. That’s why we create a calm, supportive space where they can explore who they are, work through difficulties, and build emotional strength that lasts.
Helping shape a safer future for children in therapy
Phill is committed to raising the bar on safeguarding in child therapy. In a field with limited regulation, he’s helping lead the way - training other psychotherapists and advocating for stronger, clearer standards across the UK.
