Hi, my name is Simon
If you are finding it hard to cope and you are seeking help, then I am here to support you.
I am a BACP qualified counsellor and my modality is integrative and I use various therapeutic methods and approaches which I tailor to the individuals needs to support you in helping you work through your issue. This can include Psychodynamic ways of working, as well as the Person-Centered approach.
My counselling sessions help clients to feel that they can cope better and I also provide strategies to help clients manage their issues and feel like they have more control of their day to day existence. Through my clear understanding of your issues and how they have impacted your life both in the past and present you will realise that I truly connect with what you have experienced and that I am there to help you improve your circumstances .This is achieved by building a therapeutic relationship based on empathy, congruence and unconditional positive regard and is the foundation of how I work with my clients. Your wellbeing is my priority and I offer a safe space in which you can express yourself at a pace and in a way that is comfortable for you.
I work with individuals on a one-to-one basis, both short and long term depending on your needs. After our initial consultation, the standard procedure is to meet once a week at a time that suits you. Each session lasts 50 minutes and appointments are available weekdays and weekends. If you have any questions, please feel free to send me a message and I will reply as soon as possible.
I am also a registered member of the BACP (The British Association for Counselling and Psychology).
I will facilitate a safe and confidential space in which you can discuss your issues at a pace and in a way that suits you
Congruence, empathy, and unconditional positive regard will form the basis of our working relationship, with your mental, emotional and physical wellbeing my priority.
You are the expert of your own life experiences and as your counsellor, I will take a person-centred approach to provide insight for you into your issues while also looking at how your past is impacting your present existence.
Our past experiences often affect our current lives
You may not have had the opportunity to discuss this with a qualified professional. I can help you to gain new insight and perspectives regarding your issues and you may also experience feelings of being able to cope better with life and a greater sense of how to manage your emotional wellbeing.
I became a counsellor to offer support and provide help to people and my clients have expressed that our counselling sessions have benefitted them. I respect diversity and offer equality to all my clients.
