About me
Hi, I'm Simon. Thank you for visiting my profile page. I would describe myself as a, calm, open, honest, friendly and empathic individual who is passionate about helping people through difficult times in their lives.
Whatever it is that brings you to counselling, I will strive to offer you an environment and platform that is tailored to your needs as a person, after all counselling is there to help you build upon your strengths and find the answers you have within yourself. My job is to help you make sense of the challenges that life has conjured up for you.
I thoroughly believe it takes a lot of courage and strength to ask for help and access a service like counselling, and have the upmost respect for anyone who does. I predominantly practice the person-centred approach to counselling as I believe everyone deserves to be truly heard in an unconditional manner. We can live our lives thinking and feeling concerned about what other people think of us and what judgements are made.
I predominantly offer outdoor counselling, as I believe the natural environment is an incredible therapeutic space to enable people to explore their thoughts and feelings, bringing physical and mental health together. Being within the restrictions of a therapy room isn’t for everyone, so why not try outdoor therapy. I work from various outdoor locations within North Lincolnshire

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred).
Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision.
Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training.
All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
