About Simon

Simon Davies is a UK-based counselling practitioner with a Master’s degree in Counseling and three years of professional experience supporting people through significant life changes. He has worked with individuals facing bereavement and trauma, those rebuilding self-esteem and confidence, and people seeking to explore how earlier experiences continue to influence their lives. Simon approaches each person as the expert on their own story and looks to build on existing strengths as part of the work.

Warm and approachable in style, he aims to create an open, non-judgmental space where clients can share difficult thoughts and feelings. His practice spans both online and in-person work and includes experience in non-profit settings, private practice, and prisons. These varied roles have shaped his appreciation for how different life contexts affect well-being and recovery.

Simon’s approach is client-led and integrative, tailoring sessions to individual needs. He draws on person-centered ideas alongside psychodynamic, trauma-informed, and cognitive-behavioural methods to shape a personalised plan. He also holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which is the professional body for counselling practitioners in the UK. Taking the first step can feel daunting, and Simon offers steady support for clients moving toward greater coping and fulfilment.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, empathetic environment where the client guides the pace and focus of sessions. It is helpful for people working on self-esteem, life transitions, and understanding personal values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured approach that looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours; it often includes practical tools and strategies for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on processing and reducing the ongoing impact of traumatic experiences, offering ways to work through memories and reactions that interfere with daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Simon works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He adapts techniques over time so the work remains relevant and effective for each person.

Online sessions - by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - provide flexibility for people with busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or limited local options. These formats make it easier to attend regular sessions from home or while travelling, and many clients find the range of options helps sustain progress between appointments.
