He works in an integrative, client-centred way, offering a warm, welcoming and interactive style that aims to build trust within the therapeutic relationship. Drawing on a mix of person-centred, psychodynamic and trauma-focused approaches, Simon adapts his methods to the needs presented in each session, helping clients explore emotions, past experiences and current patterns that influence wellbeing.

Simon has experience across a wide range of concerns including stress, grief, self-esteem, relationship and family issues, intimacy-related difficulties, parenting challenges, career pressures and compassion fatigue. His practice emphasises collaboration and sensitivity, creating space for clients to reflect and develop coping strategies at their own pace.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Simon integrates client-centred work with psychodynamic and trauma-focused methods to address a range of concerns. Client-centred therapy emphasises empathy, active listening and the client’s own capacity for growth - it helps when someone needs a safe space to explore feelings, self-esteem and relationship issues. Psychodynamic therapy looks at patterns that come from past experiences and relationships, helping clients understand how those patterns affect current behaviour and emotional responses. Trauma-focused therapy offers targeted interventions to help process and work through the emotional impact of traumatic events or ongoing distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Simon works collaboratively to determine what fits each person’s needs, goals and preferences. He adapts techniques over time, combining elements from different approaches to support progress in a way that feels manageable and respectful.

Online therapy with Simon is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for people balancing work, caregiving or geographic distance. These options make it easier to access regular support, maintain continuity of care and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for each stage of therapy.
