About Simon

Simon Petters is a United Kingdom based therapist with six years of professional experience and a BACP credential. He works with people facing stress and anxiety, those coping with addictions, and individuals processing trauma and abuse. He also supports clients with motivation, self-esteem, and confidence concerns, helping them build practical coping strategies and new perspectives.

Simon approaches therapy from a strengths-based perspective, holding the view that each person is the expert on their own life and brings important resources to the work. He encourages clients to recognise their existing capacities while exploring patterns that contribute to current difficulties, including attachment and relationship issues, feelings of emptiness, and challenges related to addiction or life transitions.

Seeking change requires courage, and Simon aims to offer calm, steady support while empowering people to take the steps they choose toward a more fulfilling life. His practice emphasises collaboration, practical tools, and a thoughtful understanding of personal history to help clients move toward clearer goals and greater wellbeing. The BACP credential refers to membership in the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, reflecting professional standards within the UK.

Approaches That Guide Online Therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape emotional patterns and expectations. It can help people understand difficulties with closeness, abandonment fears, and recurring relationship struggles by exploring relational needs and ways to form more secure connections.

Client-Centered Therapy places the client at the heart of the process, emphasising empathy, active listening, and the client’s own goals. This approach supports self-discovery, confidence building, and personal growth, and is often helpful for stress, low self-esteem, and life transitions.

Jungian Therapy draws on personal history and symbolic material to explore meaning, identity, and unconscious patterns. It can be useful for clients seeking deeper understanding of recurring themes, issues around life purpose, and long-standing emotional concerns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Simon works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting the work over time as priorities change.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to arrange care around work, family, or travel. For many people, remote sessions increase access to regular support and allow therapy to continue from different locations while maintaining a consistent relationship with a licensed professional.
