About Simon
Simon Davies is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who works from a client-centred perspective. He believes people are the experts in their own lives and looks to build on each person’s strengths. Simon aims to create a warm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about what matters to them.
He holds a Master’s degree in Counselling and has three years of professional experience. His work has included roles in non-profits, private practice, and prisons, and he has carried out sessions both online and in person. This range of settings has shaped how he tailors his approach for different needs.
Simon draws on client-centred methods alongside cognitive behavioural and trauma-focused ideas. He adapts these approaches to the individual rather than following a single formula. Sessions often focus on practical coping strategies, understanding past experiences, and building self-esteem.
Common concerns addressed include stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions, relationship and family issues, parenting strain and workplace problems. He also works with first responder issues, fatherhood concerns, post-traumatic stress, compassion fatigue and feelings of emptiness or isolation.
Simon offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. He uses a subscription model for sessions that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to his availability.
How his approaches work in online therapy
Simon uses client-centred ideas that place the person’s experience at the heart of the work. This means the counsellor listens without judgement, follows the person’s lead and helps them make sense of their feelings and choices. Client-Centred Therapy is often useful for people wanting to build self-esteem and feel heard.He also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing different behaviours. CBT can help with anxiety, low mood and workplace or social worries by breaking problems into manageable steps. Trauma-Focused Therapy is used where past traumatic events continue to cause distress, and it aims to reduce the impact of those memories while teaching coping skills.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and this may change as therapy progresses. People can expect the style and pace to be discussed and adjusted together.
Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions around family and work life and removing travel time. Online sessions can make it easier to keep appointments during busy weeks and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Because formats are not specified in detail here, please confirm current session options before booking.
