Background and approach
He listens first and then adapts his approach to what each person needs in the moment. He trained for a Bachelor of Science with honours in counselling, with a focus on trauma and bereavement and loss. He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society, NCPS.
Simon has four years of professional practice. Simon draws on client-centred work alongside psychodynamic and trauma-focused approaches. He may use cognitive behavioural ideas to help with unhelpful thinking and practical coping strategies.
Sessions aim to be a balance of talking, reflection and practical steps. People can expect a calm, grounded presence and clear talk about goals. Simon tailors the pace to each person and tries to make next steps concrete.
He invites people to set the focus and reviews progress together as therapy continues.

Sessions & fees
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s experience and aims to create a trusting, non-judgemental space. It helps people talk through feelings, build self-understanding and decide what matters most to them.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers practical tools to change unhelpful thinking patterns and develop coping strategies for anxiety, low mood and stress.
Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on processing traumatic memories and reducing their ongoing impact. It includes approaches to manage flashbacks, hypervigilance and the emotional fallout of traumatic events.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to understand problems, goals and preferences and then try methods that fit. Sessions can shift as needs change and the focus is reviewed together over time.
Online therapy with Simon uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and messaging lets people write between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and travel commitments.
