About Simon
Simon Petters is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with six years of professional experience. He helps people manage stress and anxiety, cope with addictions, and work through trauma and abuse. He also supports people dealing with low self-esteem, motivation problems and depression.
Simon starts from the view that each person knows their life best. He treats clients as the expert on their own story and builds on existing strengths. Sessions focus on practical conversation, noticing patterns in relationships and behaviour, and exploring feelings that can block change.
His work draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centred practice. That means attention to how early relationships shape current reactions, and a style that follows the client’s concerns rather than imposing a set plan. He also brings psychodynamic and Jungian perspectives to think about deeper emotions and recurring life themes.
Mindfulness practices are used to help people manage anxiety and cravings in the moment. Interventions are explained plainly and practised during sessions so clients can use them between meetings.
Simon has particular experience with issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, codependency, divorce and separation, and a range of addictions including substance and process addictions. He also works with concerns like guilt, isolation and questions about life purpose.
Sessions are offered in English and are open to international clients. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats before booking and can begin by completing the matching questionnaire to schedule a first appointment.

Approaches used in remote counselling
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships influence current patterns. It helps when strong reactions or trust issues repeat in close relationships and contributes to clearer ways of connecting or setting boundaries.Client-centred therapy focuses on the person’s own experience and priorities. The therapist follows what matters most to the client, listening and reflecting so the client can make sense of problems and decide on next steps.
Psychodynamic and Jungian ideas are used to explore recurring themes and deeper feelings that show up across situations. These approaches can be helpful for people who want to understand long-standing patterns and inner conflicts.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Simon will discuss options with clients and decide together which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and may change as therapy progresses.
Confirm the session formats before booking, as they are not listed here. Online sessions can help fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel and making it easier to schedule shorter check-ins or evening appointments. They also allow practices such as mindfulness and in-the-moment coping exercises to be guided during a session, helping clients practise skills that they can use between meetings.
