About Simon
Simon Nelson is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years of practice. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, low self-esteem and depression. Sessions are offered in English and he practises from the United Kingdom.
Simon takes a person-centred approach. That means sessions focus on the individual's experience and priorities rather than a fixed protocol. He also uses motivational interviewing techniques to help people clarify goals and move through ambivalence about change.
In a typical meeting he aims for straightforward conversation. He listens to what has brought someone to therapy, helps sort through feelings and patterns, and supports decisions about next steps. The tone is direct and relational, emphasising respect and honesty in dialogue.
Simon also works with issues that sit alongside core concerns. These include attachment questions, caregiver stress, codependency, communication and commitment problems, and matters connected to BDSM, kink and alternative sex cultures. He has experience addressing addiction, coping after disasters, hospice and end-of-life topics, and feelings such as guilt, shame or emptiness.
Practical approaches sometimes appear in sessions, such as structured dialogue and creative techniques when useful. People are invited to shape the work around what they find most helpful. To start, clients use the service's matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.

How his approaches are used in online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely to the person's experience and prioritising their perspective. In online sessions this looks like open conversation where the counsellor reflects what the client says and follows their agenda, which can help with issues such as anxiety, low mood and relationship difficulties.Motivational Interviewing is a short-term, goal-oriented method that helps people weigh options and strengthen their reasons for change. Online use of this approach often involves focused questions, exploring ambivalence and setting small, achievable steps for behaviour change, for example around substance use or coping strategies.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will discuss how Client-Centred work and Motivational Interviewing might fit the client's goals and adapt the mix as sessions progress. That conversation helps identify practical steps and the style of sessions that suit the person.
Confirm the current session options before booking if you need specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins or reducing the need to be on camera. Registered or accredited professionals commonly use these formats to help people access therapy alongside everyday commitments.
