About Simon Nelson
His practice is shaped by a relational, person-centred approach that emphasises empathy, acceptance, and respect, drawing on humanistic theory and research to support people as they explore their experiences. Simon works alongside individuals to help them make sense of what they are facing, drawing attention to personal strengths and values as a foundation for change and growth.
When appropriate, he incorporates structured dialogue techniques and creative methods to keep sessions collaborative and responsive to each person’s needs. He also offers focused support around attachment issues, caregiver stress, codependency and commitment concerns, communication and control problems, experiences of isolation or emptiness, and end-of-life or hospice-related matters. His practice additionally welcomes conversations about BDSM, kink and alternative sex culture, and provides support for drug and alcohol addiction and related impulses.
Clients can expect warmth, authenticity and professionalism in sessions. Simon is currently accepting clients and aims to provide a non-judgmental space where people can work at their own pace toward clarity, relief and meaningful change.

Person-centred and Motivational Approaches for Online Therapy
Simon works primarily from client-centred principles and draws on motivational interviewing when helpful. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, non-directive space where the person’s own values and strengths guide the work; it is often helpful for anxiety, low mood, relationship issues and self-esteem concerns. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative conversational method designed to explore ambivalence and strengthen a person’s own motivation for change, which can be useful when addressing behaviours such as substance use or when someone feels stuck about making important life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Simon works collaboratively with each person to consider their goals, preferences and circumstances and will adapt techniques so the work fits the individual rather than imposing a single method.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, over the phone, via live chat, or through text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family commitments and geographical constraints, while allowing registered professionals and therapists to provide consistent, accessible support from wherever the client is located within the United Kingdom.
