About Simon
Simon Davies is a UK-based counsellor with a Master’s degree in Counselling and three years of professional experience. He works in a warm, personable manner and believes people are the experts on their own stories. He aims to create an open, non-judgemental space where clients can talk about difficult feelings and life events.
Simon has supported people through bereavement, trauma and loss, and those struggling with self-esteem and confidence. He also helps people who are managing workplace stress, compassion fatigue, addictions, and the practical effects of major life changes. His practice includes attention to post-traumatic stress and coping with natural or human-caused disaster as part of broader recovery work.
His experience spans online and in-person roles, and includes work with non-profits, private practice, and prisons. These different settings have shaped the way he listens and responds to each person’s needs.
Simon describes his approach as client-led and integrative. He draws on Client-Centred Therapy, Trauma-Focused Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to tailor sessions to each individual. That means sessions focus on what matters most to the person, with practical steps where useful.
He invites people to take small, manageable steps when starting therapy. Simon aims to help clients notice their strengths, reduce overwhelming feelings, and build clearer ways to move forward. If you prefer to begin online, the site’s Start Therapy process will match you and guide scheduling.
How Simon’s approaches work in online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience. It helps people feel heard and noticed, and supports finding their own answers rather than directing them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. It often uses practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking patterns and small steps to reduce anxiety or low mood. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on helping people process past frightening or upsetting events and reduce their ongoing effects on daily life.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Simon will work collaboratively to decide which methods suit your needs and goals. He tailors sessions to your preferences and adjusts the way you work together as progress is made.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, reducing travel time and allowing sessions from familiar surroundings. It can also offer shorter check-ins when needed and flexible scheduling that suits work or family commitments. The biography records experience with online and in-person roles, but specific session formats can vary, so confirm current options before booking.
