About Simon

Simon Davies is a counselling practitioner in the United Kingdom with a Master’s degree in Counselling and three years of professional experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, coping with life changes, addictions, relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, anger, career problems and depression. Sessions are offered in English and he accepts international clients.

Simon describes his work as client-led and integrative. He listens for what matters most to the person in front of him and draws on different approaches to support that work. He uses Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy among other methods, choosing what fits each person’s needs.

His background includes online and in-person practice, and roles with non-profits, private practice and work inside prisons. That mix has shaped how he responds to people who have lived through bereavement, trauma or significant life changes. He also supports those dealing with workplace stress, compassion fatigue and issues such as isolation and guilt.

In practical terms he focuses on helping people notice patterns, practice different ways of responding, and build clearer ways to talk about difficult events. Conversations can include exploring how past experiences influence current reactions, learning tools for managing intense feelings, and setting straightforward goals for change.

To begin he asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. He uses a subscription model for sessions, which can be cancelled at any time, with fees varying by location.

How his approaches work for online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and acknowledging what matters to the person. It helps people clarify feelings, explore choices and find their own next steps. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers practical strategies to try in everyday situations to reduce overwhelm and manage strong reactions. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding and working through the effects of traumatic events, aiming to reduce the hold those memories have on current responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist discusses options with the person and decides together which methods to try based on needs, goals and preferences. This collaborative testing helps adjust the plan as progress is made or new issues appear.

Many people find online sessions useful because they can fit therapy into a busy life. Online work can make it easier to have a shorter check-in between commitments, avoid travel time, or choose audio rather than video when that suits. The biography records experience with online practice, but confirm the exact session options before booking so they match your circumstances.
