Simon Hawkins BSc, PG Dip, (registered member) MBACP (snr accredited member)MNCS
About me
I have a background working with families, groups and individuals in various helping roles for over 20 years. I describe myself as a relational psychotherapist, counsellor and supervisor as I believe that the relationship is the most important aspect to successful therapeutic work. I practice integratively drawing upon the most relevant approach for a particular client at that particular time. I have specialist training in sexual and domestic abuse, loss, bereavement and trauma. I work with individuals, couples and young people, and take referrals from Insurance companies, EAP’s, several agencies and the general public. I work face to face in my practice or at a client’s home, online or via telephone. I do offer a limited amount of concessions for students, or those in receipt of certain benefits.
I am also able to offer appointments within 48 hours
(excluding weekends & bank holidays)
