Philip Gilmore

Counsellor

Philip works with adult individuals of all ages seeking support with stress, anxiety, phobias, relationship problems, personal growth, dilemmas, depression, lack of meaning, chronic pain,
self-esteem, anger issues, grief, vehicle accidents, trauma, complex trauma, and childhood trauma including sexual abuse.

Philip works with individuals with a highly compassionate and non-pathologising approach to counselling. Philip uses Internal Family Systems (IFS) an evidence based approach that has gained a strong reputation in the last 5 to 10 years, especially for trauma. It is a highly effective modality that helps restore a natural sense of self-trust and self-compassion.

Philip also practises EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), another non-pathologizing, evidence based, therapeutic approach, also often used with trauma. Both approaches seem to activate the psyche’s natural tendency towards healing and coherence, which helps us to unlearn ingrained behavioural patterns and negative beliefs. His long standing interest in mindfulness and meditation also inform his overall approach, alongside his training in somatic and attachment approaches to therapy.

    Client Feedback

    I am blessed and grateful to have found such a wonderful person like Nivedita

    I met Nivedita soon after I was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer, and I knew that she had successfully worked with cancer patients before. Sessions with Nivedita made me feel calm and stress-free. I truly overcame my fears regarding my chemotherapy sessions, and I was able to accept things as they came my way. I am so happy I found Nivedita, and I don’t think it would have been this smooth without her. - Priya Menon

    I recommend Nivedita’s services to any parent who has a teen struggling with anxiety

    My daughter she struggled badly with bouts of anxiety and as much as I tried, I was unable to help her. Nivedita taught my daughter techniques to overcome her fears and have better control over her emotions. Now, she is much happier. - Ilona S.

    Nivedita has contributed significantly to my emotional, mental, and financial health.

    Each visit to Dr. Ramanujam makes me a richer person with better insights into life. One Dr. Ramanujam in life is worth several well-meaning and wise friends! Dr. Ramanujam has a natural instinct and aptitude for her job, and that, combined with her compassionate and wise way of thinking, makes her a really amazing therapist! - A.K.

    Nivedita is insightful

    Nivedita helped me immensely with short-term anxiety, using a mixture of Mindfulness and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. She regularly helps me dig down and pinpoint a particular emotion or motivation. Working with Nivedita continues to be immensely beneficial for my emotional life. - Z.M.

    Nivedita was everything I had hoped for in a therapist!

    At the end of every session, I felt physically rejuvenated and at the same time, psychologically more balanced, calm, and happier, even though going through some of these sessions wasn’t easy at all. Nivedita is not only a great therapist but a very special human being – kind, compassionate, and I always felt very safe and in good hands. - Caroline Halbroth
