About Simon

Simon Davies helps people work through stress, anxiety, trauma, grief and self-esteem issues using a client-led approach. He works in the United Kingdom and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He has three years of professional experience and holds a Master’s degree in Counselling.

He draws primarily on client-centred principles, cognitive behavioural ideas and trauma-focused work to guide sessions. This means conversations begin with the client’s priorities, then look at thoughts and behaviours that maintain the problem, and address the impact of distressing events where needed. Sessions are practical and conversational, with time spent reflecting and trying out new ways of responding.

Simon has worked in a range of settings, including non-profit services, private practice and prisons. That background has involved supporting people after bereavement, during recovery from trauma, and when coping with life changes such as career shifts or parenting challenges. He also works with issues linked to workplace stress, compassion fatigue and first responder challenges.

He supports people facing process addictions such as gambling, exercise or pornography problems, and those dealing with guilt, shame, isolation and questions about life purpose. Sessions can look at family of origin patterns and fatherhood issues.

To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used and then a first session is scheduled. Costs vary by location and sessions operate via a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How Simon uses therapeutic approaches in online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s perspective, listening closely and following what matters most to them. It helps when someone needs space to understand their feelings, self-esteem or family of origin issues.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, social phobia and workplace stress.

Trauma-Focused Therapy attends to the impact of distressing events and aims to reduce their ongoing effect on daily life. It is used when past events, including natural or human-caused disasters, continue to cause distress.

Choosing the right combination of approaches is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and the problem being addressed, and together they will agree how best to proceed in sessions.

Please confirm which session formats are available before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work and family commitments, reduce travel time and offer flexibility for shorter check-ins or longer full sessions. They can also allow people to continue work with a counsellor when they move location or live abroad.
