About Simon
Simon Davies is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. He holds a Master’s degree in Counselling and has three years of professional experience. He works in a warm, approachable way and aims to make people feel comfortable talking about difficult things.
He focuses on stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem and coping with major life changes. He also helps with addictions, workplace issues and relationship concerns, along with a range of related topics such as social anxiety, loneliness and post-traumatic stress.
Background and approach
His practice is client-centred, which means sessions are shaped around each person’s needs and pace. He also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to help people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try small practical changes. Trauma-focused methods are used when past events continue to cause distress.
Simon has worked across online and in-person settings, including non-profits, independent practice and prisons. Those varied roles have informed how he adapts sessions for different circumstances and life situations. He believes people bring their own strengths and knowledge about their lives.
Sessions aim to build those strengths, clarify goals and find manageable steps forward. Taking a first step can feel hard, and he offers steady, down-to-earth support through that process.
Online therapy approaches and how they help
Simon uses a client-centred approach that emphasises your own priorities and pace. Sessions focus on listening, reflecting what matters to you and agreeing clear next steps that feel manageable.He also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy or CBT to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, workplace stress and patterns that keep people stuck.
Trauma-focused therapy is used when past events continue to affect day-to-day life. This work aims to reduce distress linked to memories and rebuild a sense of safety and control over reactions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. He will work with you to choose what fits your needs, goals and preferences and adjust the plan as you go. The aim is to find methods that feel useful in your life.
Online sessions offer flexibility and make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules. Video calls are closest to face-to-face meetings, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be a simpler check-in, and live chat or text messaging suits shorter updates or regular check-ins between sessions. These options help people access therapy across different locations and routines.
