Hello, my name is Simon and I am a BACP accredited counsellor and psychotherapist in the UK. I have a MA in Integrative psychotherapy, a foundation degree in Counselling, and BA (Hons) degree in Counselling and Psychotherapy.
There are times in our lives when we need someone to talk to and support us to make positive changes in our lives when we are experiencing challenges. Sometimes life becomes difficult and when our thoughts and feelings begin to affect our well-being, functioning and relationships then it may be time to get some support.
My theoretical approach to counselling is primarily person-centred however my training enables me to utilise an integrative approach incorporating emotion-focused psychotherapy, meta-cognition and cognitive behavioural techniques. This enables the offering of both coping strategies and process work to resolve the underlying root issue.
As your counsellor, I will offer you an accepting and non-judgemental relationship whatever you bring to your counselling sessions. I will be open and honest about myself as we work and together we can aim to find meaning for your emotions, thoughts and feelings. I aim to promote self-acceptance, understanding and self-discovery.
As well as my private practice, I work in a hospice with adults and children experiencing bereavement, pre-bereavement and loss. I have worked across various community settings including working at counselling centres who focus on anxiety and depressive conditions.
During my career I have worked with many clients, all of whom have had their own unique story, covering a variety of different client issues. These include:
Depression, Anxiety, Stress, Relationship issues, self-esteem and confidence issues, Physical, emotional or sexual abuse, Phobias, Family issues, Bereavement and pre-bereavement, Meaning and fulfilment, Loneliness and isolation, Guilt, Shame, Work and Career issues.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
