About Simon Davies

Simon Davies is a UK-based counselling practitioner with a Master’s degree in Counseling and three years of professional experience supporting people through significant life challenges. He works with individuals facing bereavement, trauma and abuse, struggles with self-esteem and confidence, and those who want to understand how past experiences continue to influence their present life. Simon’s approach recognises that each person brings knowledge and strengths about their own story and he aims to build on those resources to help clients move forward.

Known for a warm and personable manner, Simon creates an open, non-judgmental space where people can explore difficult feelings and life events. His experience spans both online and in-person work, including roles in non-profit organisations, private practice, and prisons, each of which has informed his commitment to meeting people where they are and respecting the uniqueness of every journey.

Simon practises in a client-led, integrative way, tailoring sessions to individual needs by drawing on person-centered, psychodynamic, trauma-informed, and cognitive-behavioural methods. He views the therapeutic process as collaborative and aims to offer practical, compassionate support for those seeking greater well-being and resilience. Simon is a member of BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a professional body for counselling practitioners in the UK.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Simon uses client-centered therapy to create a corrective, accepting relationship in which the client’s perspective leads the work; this approach helps people who need a compassionate space to explore values, identity, and self-worth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is offered as a practical, goal-oriented way to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related difficulties. Trauma-focused therapy is applied when past traumatic events are central to a person’s current distress; it focuses on processing traumatic memories and building coping strategies to reduce their ongoing impact.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is often part of the process itself. Simon works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and will adapt methods over time so that the work fits the client rather than expecting the client to fit a single model. Registered professionals and therapists may draw on different tools until the best fit emerges.

Online therapy with Simon is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and life circumstances. These options make it easier to receive consistent support from wherever you are, and to choose the format that feels most comfortable for each stage of the therapeutic journey.
