Simon Favilli
Calm, practical support for common struggles
About Simon
Simon Favilli is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 14 years of professional experience. He focuses on common but painful issues such as stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief and depression. Simon aims to offer calm, respectful support and to work alongside people as they try to make changes.
He adapts conversations and care to each person’s situation rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. Sessions are shaped around what matters most to the individual, with practical steps and compassionate listening.
Background and approach
This can help when coping feels overwhelming or when past experiences keep affecting daily life. Simon has worked with a wide range of concerns, including attachment and abandonment worries, codependency, control issues, and problems with communication. He also supports people facing body image struggles, guilt and shame, impulsivity, and obsessive-compulsive behaviours.
He understands how addiction, domestic violence and family problems can complicate recovery. His practice includes helping people process grief, forgiveness and the emotional impact of trauma. He aims to empower clients to regain a sense of control and to build more manageable routines.
Simon uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person’s needs. Sessions are offered in English and carried out through video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging. He holds BACP accreditation, which is listed as BACP.

How evidence-based approaches work online
Evidence-based techniques focus on clear steps you can learn and use. One common approach teaches skills to manage anxiety and stress through breathing, planning and gradual changes to worry-driven behaviours. This helps reduce the impact of daily stressors and gives concrete tools to try between sessions.Another helpful approach addresses trauma and painful experiences by giving space to tell your story, recognise patterns, and build safer ways of coping. Work like this often includes pacing the conversation and developing strategies for feeling steadier when memories or emotions arise.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Simon will work with each person to choose or adapt methods based on their goals, needs and preferences. That collaboration means methods are adjusted as progress is made or as priorities change.
Online sessions are delivered by registered or accredited professionals using video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone slots can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is preferred. Live chat and messaging suit people who want regular written check-ins or need flexible timing. These options make therapy more accessible across different schedules and lifestyles.
