Background and approach
Simon has four years of professional experience working with a wide range of concerns including cancer and life-limiting illness related issues. Sessions are client-centred and interactive. He listens first, then helps people notice patterns that keep problems going.
Where useful he offers practical tools from cognitive approaches and trauma-focused work to manage anxious thoughts and strong emotions. Simon also draws on psychodynamic ideas to help people understand how past experiences affect present feelings and relationships. He invites steady pacing, so clients set the focus and move at a comfortable speed.
People can expect short-term practical strategies alongside deeper exploration when that feels right. Simon aims to create a respectful space where difficult topics can be talked through and clearer next steps can be found.
Therapy approaches and how online sessions can help
Simon uses Client-Centred Therapy to create a respectful setting where the client’s views guide the work. This approach focuses on listening, building trust and helping people find their own answers, which can be useful for anxiety, grief and self-esteem issues.He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. CBT offers practical techniques to reduce anxious thinking, manage mood and change unhelpful patterns over time.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Simon will discuss goals and preferences and work together to decide whether short-term skills, deeper exploration or a mix of both is best. That collaborative decision is revisited as things change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, chat can suit shorter check-ins and messaging lets people reflect between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and different time zones, while keeping the focus on the work that matters.
