Phillip Hodson (born April 1946 in Bedfordshire) is a British psychotherapist, broadcaster and author who popularised ‘phone-in’ therapy in his role as Britain's first 'agony uncle'.[1][2] His afternoon and evening counselling programmes ran on LBC Radio in London for nearly 20 years.[3] Thereafter he worked on Talk Radio and with Jimmy Young on BBC Radio 2.

This is where Phillip Hodson pioneered sex therapy on air, Brian Hayes perfected the art of cutting off callers in their prime, and the late Peter Cook – for reasons we can only guess at - pretended to be Sven, a Norwegian fisherman living in Swiss Cottage, over a period of four years". Paul Donovan, Radio Critic, The Sunday Times, 30 July 2006
- ^ "Phillip Hodson has contributed more to the British therapy boom than anyone. For 15 years, with clear, concise, psychotherapy broadcast live on LBC, he has destroyed the myths and stigma that often surround therapy. In the past two years, his listeners have doubled and now they will increase further. In response to his success, his airtime has doubled, from one hour to two, four times a week". The Observer, 21 January 1990.
