How Simon works

Sessions are client centred and warm. Simon aims to build trust early, so people feel safe to talk about difficult topics. He listens closely and reflects back what he hears to help people make sense of their feelings.

He draws on several ways of working to match what each person needs. Cognitive behavioural approaches are used to look at thoughts and habits that keep problems going. Psychodynamic ideas help people understand how past experiences affect present feelings.

Trauma-focused methods are applied when people need to process painful events. Practical steps are part of the work. That may include setting small goals, trying new ways of coping between sessions, or pacing difficult conversations.

Simon encourages people to move at their own speed and to shape the sessions around their goals.

Online support options

How Simon's approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and helping people feel understood. It encourages personal pace and choice, which suits issues such as low self-esteem, grief and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and helps people try small practical changes to reduce anxiety or depressive patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Simon will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then adapt methods as the relationship develops. This is a collaborative process and may change over time as needs shift.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video sessions allow face-to-face contact, phone calls can fit around work or travel, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging helps people share between appointments. These options help people fit therapy into busy or complex lives and make it easier to maintain regular contact with a therapist.
