About Simon
Simon Davies offers a straightforward, client-led approach to counselling. He keeps sessions focused on what matters to the person in front of him and helps them make sense of difficult moments. Simon holds a BACP accreditation and has three years of professional experience in the UK.
He works online and has experience across community settings, independent practice, and custodial environments. Simon helps people facing stress, anxiety and depression. He supports those dealing with bereavement, trauma and substance or process addictions.
How Simon works
He also addresses workplace pressures, compassion fatigue and issues tied to self-esteem and life purpose. In sessions he starts by listening closely and letting the client set the pace. He uses person-centred methods to build trust and CBT techniques to notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns.
Trauma-focused work is used where past events continue to cause distress. Simon has worked with people affected by disasters and first responder challenges, and has supported those navigating fatherhood and family of origin difficulties. He aims to help clients notice their strengths, make practical changes and find clearer ways forward.
Practical options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a simple matching questionnaire and scheduling step connects someone to therapy.

How Simon’s approaches work online
Simon uses client-centred practice to prioritise the person’s concerns and build a trusting relationship. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting and helping people name what matters so they can decide the next steps for themselves.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and then tests small changes in thinking or behaviour. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, social phobia and workplace stress because it gives practical steps to try between sessions.
Trauma-focused work concentrates on the effects of past events that still cause strong reactions. It aims to reduce distressing symptoms and help people make sense of difficult memories while keeping the pace appropriate to the person.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Simon collaborates with each person to decide what feels most helpful based on their needs, goals and preferences. He adapts techniques as the relationship develops so the approach stays relevant.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer typing or want more frequent, brief contact. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel.
