Background and approach
His background includes long-term work supporting people with compulsive behaviours and substance misuse. He also helps those dealing with attachment concerns, codependency and control issues. Clients looking to manage obsessions, compulsions or addictive patterns will find focused support.
Simon offers help for emotional challenges such as guilt, shame, isolation and difficulty with forgiveness. He works with people coping with family problems, communication breakdown and the fallout from domestic violence. He also supports those facing body image worries and impulsivity.
Sessions are conducted in English and take place online by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Simon uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.
Simon values honesty and practical planning. He aims to empower people to make steady progress and to find ways of living with less fear and more choice.
Therapeutic techniques and online delivery
Simon draws on practical, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage anxiety, compulsive behaviours and addiction. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing them against real-life evidence to reduce worry and avoidance; this helps with phobias, anxiety and overthinking. Another approach works on behaviour change through graded exposure and step-by-step goals to reduce avoidance and build confidence when facing feared situations.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Simon will discuss options, try different methods when needed and adapt the plan to a person's goals and preferences. He works with the person to set clear, small goals and reviews progress together so the approach fits day-to-day life.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text messaging to make therapy flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and suit people on the move. Live chat and text-based messaging give shorter check-ins or ongoing written support between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family commitments and travel.
