Simon Davies

Simon Davies is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with a Master’s degree in Counselling and three years of professional experience. He focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief and anger, and aims to create a warm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk through what matters to them.

He works from a client-led, integrative stance and adapts each session to the person in front of him. Sessions draw on client-centred ideas that prioritise the person’s own expertise, cognitive-behavioural tools for tackling unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, and trauma-focused techniques when past harm affects present life.

Simon has worked across online and in-person settings, including non-profits, private practice and prisons. That range of experience has informed how he supports people through life changes, addiction, workplace stress and issues connected to family of origin and fatherhood.

In sessions he aims to listen first and follow the client’s lead, then offer practical strategies and gentle challenges when helpful. Typical work might include building coping skills, addressing shame or guilt, and unpacking traumatic memories at a pace the client sets.

People who book are invited to discuss goals and preferences so the approach stays relevant. He accepts international clients and works in English. To begin, clients use the site’s Start Therapy workflow to complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange sessions.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own strengths and priorities. In practice this means the counsellor listens carefully and follows the client’s lead, helping them find clarity and make decisions that feel right.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, offers practical tools for spotting unhelpful thoughts and changing patterns of behaviour. It is often used for anxiety, low mood, anger and workplace stress where concrete techniques can help manage day-to-day symptoms.

Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people who are coping with the effects of past harm. Work tends to move at the client’s pace and combines emotional processing with strategies for feeling safer and more grounded in daily life.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before, then suggest a way of working that can be adjusted over time. Clients are encouraged to give feedback so the plan stays relevant.

Practical benefits of online counselling include fitting sessions around work or family commitments and removing travel time so check-ins are easier to schedule. Because session formats in the biography are not listed in detail, confirm the exact online options before booking. Registered and accredited professionals can use online work to offer consistent support while adapting pace and tools to each person’s needs.
