Welcome…
…to the Ask Philippa’s new home here on Substack.
I’ve been an agony aunt for about 10 years, first for Red Magazine and then for The Observer Magazine which was also published on The Guardian Website. You might also know me from my books such as The Book You Wish Your Parents Had Read, How To Stay Sane, etc. You might even remember Grayson’s Art Club, the Channel 4 series I made with my husband during lockdown. I’m a psychotherapist, writer and broadcaster, and I’m here to respond to your problems. If your problem is published, I’ll change names and identifying details to protect your anonymity.
Please consider a paid subscription if you can. Upgrading your subscription supports my work, this is my job now, and gives you access to more of the thoughtful, messy, often unspoken problems people are facing and what we can all learn from them. A paid subscription also allows you to comment on the problems and answers and to be part of the community I will be building on here with other extras. Think of it as buying me a coffee and a biscuit every month, I’d appreciate that.
I will be posting a problem and my answer every Sunday at 06.00 a.m. UK time and there will be additional posts during the week for paid subscribers.
