About Simon
Simon Davies is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with a Master’s degree in Counselling and three years of professional experience. He takes a warm, approachable stance and aims to help people feel heard and understood as they talk through difficult moments.
He focuses on a wide range of issues including stress, anxiety, grief, depression and self-esteem. He also helps with relationship and parenting concerns, addiction and anger, and supports people coping with major life changes and workplace pressures. Additional interests include trauma-related difficulties and fatherhood issues.
Simon uses a client-led, integrative approach. He draws on person-centred methods that place the client’s perspective at the centre. He also uses cognitive-behavioural ideas to help identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.
His experience includes online and in-person work across non-profits, private practice and prison settings. Those roles have shaped how he listens and how he responds in practical ways to each person’s situation.
In sessions he aims to create a non-judgemental environment where people can explore their history and current challenges. He supports people to recognise their strengths, consider new ways of coping, and plan small steps that fit into everyday life.
How Simon’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to the person in front of him. It helps when someone needs space to tell their story and to feel understood. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together and offers practical steps to change unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, low mood and workplace stress. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding and reducing the ongoing impact of past traumatic events and can be helpful for post-traumatic stress and related difficulties.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Simon will discuss goals, preferences and what feels comfortable, then agree a way forward with the client. That collaborative process means techniques can be adapted to each person’s needs as therapy progresses.
The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into busy lives and reducing travel time, which can make regular meetings easier to sustain. Online sessions can also be arranged to suit different rhythms such as shorter check-ins or evening appointments. Please confirm the current session options and formats before booking so you know what specific arrangements are available.
