Phillip Mota Psychotherapist

Phillip is an Integrative Psychotherapist who works collaboratively with clients to help them navigate their individual path towards personal growth and fulfilment. He carefully considers the uniqueness of each person, genuinely seeks to understand the nuance of his client’s lived experience and strives to build a therapeutic relationship based on trust and safety. Phillip creates a warm and grounding atmosphere for clients to address the challenges they are navigating in their lives and tailors treatment to align with their distinct presentation and objectives. He works with clients who are challenged by anxiety, depression, attachment disturbances, interpersonal issues, behavioural problems, grief & loss, life & role transitions, trauma, existential issues and spiritual concerns and crises. Phillip also holds a keen interest in exploring the realm of human potential. He works with clients who are seeking to find meaning and purpose or are motivated to enhance their overall well-being and functioning. He believes that how an individual perceives and responds to the world is deeply influenced by childhood experiences, and that survival and coping behaviours learned during childhood often transform into maladaptive strategies in adulthood. Phillip collaborates with clients to help them work through attitudes, behaviours and thought patterns that may hinder the realisation of their true potential. He works with adults and adolescents and adopts an integrative, somatic and trauma-informed approach to therapy, which draws on therapeutic models such as Internal Family Systems, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Gestalt, Mentalisation Based Therapy, Psychodynamic Interpersonal Therapy, Attachment repair and Eco-psychotherapy.
