Phil Smith Counselling - Newquay

Ellie Christie

I did an anger release session with Phil on the beach. I knew this would be good for me but I felt really nervous about doing it because like many of us I feel quite negative about expressing anger. I am SO glad I did it though because it has changed so much for me. To have a safe place to explore and express anger completely changed the way I feel about it. I not only released alot that I'd been holding onto but I now feel I can use it in a much more positive way in my life. Phil is great at holding a safe place and having the session amongst nature also makes it really powerful. I would really recommend this to anyone. Thank you so much.

I can't recommend Phil highly enough, after certain life events made me realise that counselling might help me out, I went to Phil. From the first session he made me feel very comfortable and to my surprise, I was very open about my personal demons, as I am usually a very closed person.

After just the second session I had my light bulb moment, Phil managed to get me to express feelings and frustrations I never knew I had and it was like a weight lifted off my shoulders.

His methods and recommendations have helped me massively and I have learned so much about myself in just 5 sessions which has made my recent life events so much easier to cope with.

Don't doubt yourself, if you're considering counselling, get in touch with Phil.

My time and sessions with Phil was genuinely just what I needed.

Phil has such a passion for what he does that he made me instantly feel at ease. Phil has a broad variety of skills and practice that he can draw upon to encourage support and help.

I felt calm, free to be open and was able to be myself. This was an incredible learning experience for me and has offered ideas, resources, and coping mechanisms that I can take forward into my future!
I would genuinely recommend Phil's integrative counselling to anyone.

Thank you Phil!

Seeing Phil was a life changing experience. Integrated counselling is key. It’s actually the reason I’ve managed to understand and deal with my deep trauma and having done that I can leave it in the past. My life experiences led me to be confused, depressed, reactive and regretful. I was confused as I also had great life experiences but because of unresolved trauma I repeated my reactions again and again until Phil. My life has changed, my self worth is stronger, I’m calm and happy. When I have a blip I understand it’s growth & will pass. I cannot recommend Phil enough.
Thank you Phil.

I had been though a great deal of abuse and trauma as a child and young woman. I had counselling in my 30's and had dealt with this cognitively, however in recent years I recognised I had not processed on an emotional level.
Phil has guided me through a journey of acknowledging and releasing the grief, anger, sadness and guilt I have carried with me for so long. During our sessions he has been kind, empathetic, supportive and given me tools that help me to connect with my emotions.
The night terrors have stopped, I no longer ache in every cell of my body, my black hole days are gone and I embrace the tears without fear, thanks to the therapeutic sessions with Phil, for which I am so grateful ? ?

After a few failed attempts of therapy and having gotten to the point of just giving up on the whole idea, I was thankfully recommended Phil through word of mouth, and couldn’t be more grateful for meeting him. He’s super down to earth but also very passionate and incredibly good at what he does. I was apprehensive after my previous experiences (outlook southwest being one of them) but instantly after a few minutes of meeting Phil I felt comfortable and confident I was in the right hands. I met him on a weekly basis for a period of time and he really helped pull me out of a dark place and get myself back on track. I owe him a lot for where I’m at in life today. Thanks Phil

I was really struggling with depression and Phil has really helped me come out of this dark place he creates a really relaxing atmosphere and clearly has a lot of love for his job. I was very depressed for a long time until someone told me about Phil and I was a bit reluctant at first but I went and after the first session I realised that if I really wanted to feel better I have to try everything and I'm so happy I did! I recommend Phil to everyone.

I was really struggling with making sense of the way I was feeling about certain situations. Phil really helped me with some techniques to see my way through it all and it really has worked. During our sessions I felt welcomed, calm and understood.

I felt like I could open up right away, and eventually I was able to put things into perspective with his help. Immediately we were able to discuss everything and I felt like this was a major yet necessary step to get me where I am today. I can’t recommend him enough.
