When appropriate, he uses structured dialogue techniques and creative methods to keep sessions collaborative and focused on the client’s needs. Those who meet with Simon can expect warmth, authenticity, and professional care designed to increase clarity, ease distress, and support movement toward what matters most.
Simon seeks to meet people with compassion and honesty and is committed to supporting each person’s journey toward greater understanding and wellbeing.
Person-centred and Motivational Approaches Delivered Online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on offering an empathic, non-directive space where the person leads the conversation and explores their feelings, values, and experiences. This approach can be helpful for anxiety, low mood, relationship concerns, and times of life change by supporting self-understanding and emotional processing.
Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented method that helps people resolve ambivalence and strengthen their own motivation for change. It is practical for exploring shifts in behaviour or commitment, for example when addressing habits, substance use, or other areas where change feels difficult.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Simon will work collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best suit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the way sessions run as progress unfolds.
Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy lives. These options allow people to connect from home, work, or while travelling, reduce time spent on commuting, and make it simpler to maintain continuity of care during life transitions or shifting schedules.
