About Simon
Simon Davies is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, trauma and related difficulties. He draws on client-centred methods alongside cognitive approaches to help clients notice what is and isn’t working in their lives.
Simon places the client’s perspective at the centre of sessions and treats people as experts on their own lives. He uses straightforward conversation to identify patterns, build on strengths and set practical steps for change. Sessions aim to be direct and focused without complicated jargon.
His background includes work across online and face-to-face settings, non-profit services, private practice and time working in prisons. Those roles have shaped how he responds to crisis, bereavement and complex trauma, and have influenced his approach to questions about fatherhood, first responder stress and disasters.
Therapy draws on client-centred therapy, cognitive behavioural techniques and trauma-focused practices. That mix is used to help with low mood, anxiety, process addictions and workplace or relationship strain. He also supports people dealing with guilt, shame, isolation and searching for life purpose.
Practical matters are discussed openly in early sessions, including what to work on and what a typical session looks like. People are invited to set goals and to agree on steps between meetings. The approach is collaborative and aims to be clear about what the client wants to change.

How his approaches translate to online work
Client-centred therapy focuses on the person’s experience and on listening without directing. Online sessions use this to let clients speak about what matters to them while the counsellor reflects and helps clarify priorities. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises. In online work CBT can include agreed tasks between sessions and brief skills practice during meetings. Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on processing past events and reducing their ongoing impact through paced, structured work tailored to the person.Choosing an approach is collaborative. The counsellor will discuss options, try methods in session and adapt based on how the client responds. Decisions about techniques, pacing and goals are made together and can change as progress is reviewed.
The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting meetings into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins or to keep regular weekly sessions while juggling work or family commitments. The therapist’s biography does not list specific session formats; please confirm current session options before booking so you know how meetings will be arranged.
