Therapeutic approaches and online support
Simon primarily uses a client-centred approach which focuses on listening and supporting the client to find their own answers. This style helps people who feel stuck, overwhelmed or unsure where to begin by putting their experience and priorities at the heart of the work.He also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how past relationships and experiences influence current feelings and patterns. That perspective can be useful for understanding recurring difficulties and emotional reactions that don’t seem to make sense on the surface.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Simon will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and together you can choose which methods to try. He aims to be collaborative, adjusting the way you work as you learn what helps.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging which makes it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel. Video is useful for a fuller conversation, phone calls can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat can suit short check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options give flexibility so clients can pick what suits them best.
