Dr Sarah Philippon
Chartered Counselling Psychologist
HCPC Registered • BPS Chartered
Private practice based in Westminster London and online
I work with people who are outwardly competent and composed yet privately overwhelmed, volatile, or numb. My role is to create a short-term intensive and reliable space where you can state what is actually happening without being judged, pathologised or managed. Together we clarify what is driving the escalation, assess the psychological cost of staying as you are, and agree the clearest next step. This work is evidence based, clinically grounded and always governed by professional standards of practice.
I offer psychological assessment, formulation and ongoing therapeutic work for adults. I also offer focused consultation for leaders and professionals with public responsibility. I do not provide emergency or crisis cover. If you are at immediate risk of harm please contact emergency services or your local mental health crisis service before reaching out.
About Me
I offer a confidential and emotionally intelligent space for individuals who want to heal, evolve, and lead themselves with intention. Whether you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or quietly exhausted from doing it all without being seen, you are not alone. This space is for you.
As a Chartered Counselling Psychologist and Psychotherapist, I bring clinical depth, strategic clarity, and compassionate presence into every session. I support clients navigating anxiety, low mood, trauma, eating and personality disorders, OCD, gender-based violence, chronic pain, and grief. My practice is informed by evidence-based approaches and real-world understanding. Many of my clients arrive after other support has failed to meet them where they are.
Alongside therapy, I work with leaders, creatives, and professionals who want more than survival. They are seeking clarity, decisiveness, and emotional resilience. I offer bespoke leadership consultations, strategic coaching, and guest lecturing within undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral programmes. I also speak in media and public spaces where psychological depth matters.
Most people wait too long to begin. You do not have to.
If you feel the resonance, trust it.
You are not too much. You are not too late.

Some of My Psychotherapy Specialisations
Anxiety Treatment
Anxiety can be debilitating and interfere with daily life. Our therapists specialize in anxiety treatment, using evidence-based approaches to help our clients manage their symptoms and improve their quality of life.
Depression Treatment
Depression can feel overwhelming and isolating. I provide a compassionate and supportive environment to help clients manage their symptoms and work towards healing and growth.
Weight -related Therapy
Trauma Therapy
At my practice, I specialise in working with clients who are dealing with eating disorders and weight loss. Together, we explore the underlying emotional and psychological factors that may be contributing to these issues. With a focus on mindfulness and self-compassion, I work with clients to develop long-term solutions to their struggles with food and body image.
Trauma can have long-lasting effects on our mental health and well-being. I provide trauma-focused therapy to help clients process their experiences including PTSD and work towards healing and growth.
Chronic Pain Therapy
Living with chronic pain can be challenging, and it can seem like no amount of medication or therapy can truly alleviate it. My sessions are designed to empower clients, helping them to develop positive habits and coping mechanisms that can enhance their quality of life.
Adolescent Therapy
The adolescent years can be a challenging time for both teens and their families. I specialise in adolescent therapy, providing a safe and supportive environment for teens to explore their thoughts and feelings, and develop coping skills to improve their mental health and well-being.
