About Philip
AASW social worker with 15 years in adult community mental health. Philip Keogh helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, low self-esteem and major life changes. He also supports people facing addictions, workplace problems and issues around attachment or abandonment.
Philip draws on practical talking therapies to help people make small, workable changes. He uses person-centred listening to understand what matters to each person. He pairs that with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques to address unhelpful thinking and Motivational Interviewing to boost commitment to change.
Sessions are straightforward and focused on what the person wants to work on. Philip spends time clarifying goals and building a plan that fits daily life. He encourages skills people can use between sessions for stress, panic attacks, social anxiety and responding to painful memories.
His background is in adult community mental health, where he has spent 15 years supporting people with a wide range of difficulties. The AASW credential denotes membership of the Australian Association of Social Workers and reflects his professional identity as a social worker.
Philip describes his approach as person-centred and practical. He aims to help people speak about difficult topics without judgement and to find manageable steps forward. If you want help sorting through anxiety, trauma-related problems, or life transitions he offers focused therapies to work toward clearer goals.

How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the person says to help them make sense of their experience. It is useful for people who need time to talk through painful memories or to sort out values and goals.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It is commonly used for anxiety, panic, depression and stress-related problems because it emphasises clear steps and practice between sessions.
Motivational Interviewing concentrates on resolving mixed feelings and building motivation for change. It can help with addiction, lifestyle shifts and taking difficult next steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify which methods fit the person’s needs and goals. That may mean combining person-centred listening with CBT tasks or using Motivational Interviewing to support commitment to change.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people use techniques at home between sessions so practice becomes part of everyday life.
