Mr Philip Hilder

Psychologist

“Recovery for Complex Post Traumatic Stress (Complex Trauma), addictions, life stress and relationship issues.”

About Me

As a psychologist, I guide individuals seeking recovery from the deep impact of Complex Post Traumatic Stress and addictions. We also address the challenges of everyday life stress and relationship issues. Our work together involves exploring underlying patterns and developing practical strategies. This helps clients build resilience and find healthier ways forward. I offer a supportive space for navigating these complex experiences.

Approach

Recovery unfolds through steady, paced sessions that balance safety, noticing and practical change, helping you slow down overwhelm and make sense of what keeps repeating. In Sydney and online, working in English, sessions feel deliberate and collaborative — we track body responses, revisit relational patterns and practise small, usable skills between meetings so shifts extend into daily life. The approach suits adults coping with trauma-related and addictive patterns who want a clear, grounded path toward more manageable days.
