Simon is a great therapist! I cannot recommend Simon enough! From the moment I started working with him, I felt truly heard and understood. His incredible listening skills make each session feel like a safe space where I can express myself openly without any judgment. He takes the time to really listen to what I’m saying, and his advice is always thoughtful, insightful, and tailored to my specific situation. What stands out the most is his patience. Whether I'm working through tough emotions or struggling to make sense of things, Simon never rushes the process. He offers guidance that is gentle yet effective, allowing me to move forward at my own pace while also feeling supported every step of the way. Thanks to his expertise and compassionate approach, I’ve made tremendous progress in areas I never thought I could. If you're looking for a therapist who is truly dedicated to helping you grow and heal, Simon is absolutely the person to turn to.

About online counseling

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
