More about Simon

  • 19 years' experience
  • Male
  • BACP

I am an Accredited Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, in the UK. I am currently offering telephone and/or video sessions.

Prior to beginning my Counselling training in 2001 , I had worked for 20+ years in US companies in a variety of Human Resource roles where I worked with many " life event" issues for our employees.

I trained at The Gestalt Centre in London and my therapeutic style is focused on raising awareness of our holistic self ie our mental, emotional, physical and spiritual awareness, in order to help identify areas in our lives that may benefit from change. I also integrate CBT techniques as appropriate.

I hope my clients find my style to be warm , flexible and ultimately rewarding.

About online counseling

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
