More about Simon

  • 3 years' experience
  • Male
  • BACP

I am a UK based counselling practitioner, with 3 years of professional experience, and a Masters Degree in Counselling. My experience includes working with clients who are adjusting to significant life events, including bereavement and trauma, with clients struggling with issues concerning their self esteem and confidence, or who wish to explore how past experiences have impacted upon themselves. I believe that you are the expert on your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you.

I am personable and warm, and I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. I have worked online and in person, for non-profits and privately, in a variety of settings including prisons and I really enjoy my work.

My therapy style is client-led integrative, which means I draw on different approaches to help understand the uniqueness of individual situation. Most importantly, I will gauge my approach to fit with what feels right for you, drawing on person-centred, psycho-dynamic, Trauma-informed and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy as is appropriate.

Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage, but demonstrates that you value yourself and I am looking forward to working with you.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

I greatly value Simon's support and reflective practice. Going on this journey with him has enabled me to be a lot more open, reflective and attuned to prioritise my own well being and that it is not wrong to do this. He is someone who exudes calm, empathy and most of all listens and constantly encourages me to take the positive steps I need to move forward in my life. Thank you Simon!!!

Simon is an excellent therapist. He is kind, wise and has great empathy. He has my full confidence and makes me realise that I am not weird, unusual or crazy. I finally have someone “on my team” and “on my side”. He is a great man! I can’t recommend him highly enough. He is introducing me to “mindfulness” and giving me great practical advice and support.
