Philip in Action

Since 2010 I have been privileged to provide therapeutic support to vulnerable adults and adolescents at Body & Soul, a nonprofit organization dedicated since 1996 to transforming the threatening effects of trauma with love.

MindSET is an online resource delivered through Body & Soul with a weekly schedule of creative and interactive events designed, produced and hosted by young people with lived experience who have themselves been supported by MindSET and Body & Soul. 

Check the weekly, diverse range of support available through the MindSET here.

• These Mindfulness sessions have been designed to support vulnerable adolescents however the discussions and message can apply to anyone who needs some help. 
• Each session includes a discussion about the topic, some 'hints & tips' for self improvement and a short mindfulness exercise at the end.
• Sessions are 15-20 minutes in length.
• Everyone is welcome to view these live sessions on Monday mornings at 11:00

Philip is a valuable member of the Body & Soul therapeutic team!  For over 7 years, Philip has worked across all our services; utilising his versatile range of skills and approaches through Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Clinical Hypnotherapy and Mindfulness. From teens accessing the adoption support programme to adults living with HIV, his warm confident approach is appreciated widely by Body & Soul’s members. 

Although he works individually with members, his group sessions are always oversubscribed and provide a really useful way for people to access a therapeutic space for the first time. Feedback from members 

is consistently that Philip provides sessions that feel useful, always with lots of things for our members to think about and try. For members struggling with anxiety or feeling trapped by chronic pain, Philip’s sessions have been described as the ‘the first time I could get a feeling that there is something I can do’. Philip’s knowledge and experience doesn’t just benefit his clients. Philip shares his learning with staff members, through training sessions and his reflective insights."
