Simon Favilli, BACP

Simon Favilli is a United Kingdom based therapist with 14 years of professional experience and registration with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). He works with people facing stress and anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and depression, offering focused support for a wide range of emotional and behavioral challenges. Simon also attends to related concerns such as abandonment and attachment issues, codependency, communication and control problems, substance use, family difficulties, guilt and shame, compulsive behaviors, and isolation.

He approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, shaping conversations and treatment plans around the individual rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model. Simon emphasizes practical, evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts his work to a client’s specific needs, goals, and pace. Seeking change can feel daunting, and he aims to provide steady support and encouragement as people take the first steps toward a more fulfilling life.

Simon frames therapy as a collaborative process in which the client’s experience guides the work. He seeks to empower people to build coping strategies, improve relationships, and regain a sense of agency while navigating difficult emotions and life transitions.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Online Support

Simon uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that include structured work on patterns of thinking and behavior, helping people identify unhelpful thoughts and develop practical skills to manage anxiety, depression, and compulsive responses. These approaches focus on building coping strategies and changing everyday habits that contribute to distress.

He also employs recovery-focused methods for people dealing with addictions, combining practical relapse prevention skills with support for addressing underlying emotional triggers. For trauma and abuse, Simon applies trauma-informed methods that prioritize safety, pacing, and processing of painful experiences to reduce their ongoing impact.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Simon works collaboratively with each person to select and adapt techniques that suit their needs, goals, and preferences. He guides clients in experimenting with different strategies and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility - sessions can be arranged as video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. This range of options helps people maintain continuity of care, access timely support, and participate in therapy from locations that are convenient for them, while still working with licensed professionals and therapists trained in evidence-based care.
