BACP-registered integrative counsellor

About Simon

Hello, I’m Simon. I offer a warm, supportive space where you can talk openly about what is happening in your life and begin to make sense of it at your own pace.

You may be experiencing anxiety, low mood, grief, low self-esteem or difficulties in your relationships, family life or work. You may simply feel stuck, overwhelmed or unsure of the way forward.

Areas of support

Support through difficult times

I work with adults, children, young people and parents, offering counselling that is shaped around the individual rather than a fixed approach.

I have particular experience of anxiety, emotional regulation, neurodiversity, grief, family difficulties, work-related stress and times when life feels uncertain or overwhelming.

Who I work with

A space to understand what is happening

You may be carrying unresolved pain from childhood, adjusting to a major change, grieving someone important or finding it difficult to manage how you feel.

Relationships or family life may have become challenging, or the pressures of work and responsibility may be taking their toll. You may also feel that you have lost touch with yourself and want to find your direction again.

I work with people from a wide range of backgrounds and life experiences. My approach is integrative, which means I draw on different therapeutic ideas and adapt our work to suit you.

My background

Experience across counselling, education and working life

Before becoming a counsellor, I spent more than 20 years working in the commercial sector and more than a decade as a teacher. I now also work in children and young people’s mental health, supporting pupils, parents and schools.

These different experiences have given me an understanding of the pressures of working life, leadership, parenting, education and the challenges that can arise at different stages of life.

I am a husband and father to two grown-up children. I value counselling that feels human, collaborative and grounded in a genuine relationship.
