About me
Hi, I’m Simon, a warm welcome to my profile.
I am a qualified psychotherapist with an MSc in Person-Centred & Experiential Psychotherapy from The Sherwood Psychotherapy Training Institute in Nottingham.
My therapeutic approach...
I offer a relaxed and confidential space, both in-person and online, where you can explore personal challenges and life's difficulties. My approach is relational and person-centred, where you will be valued, listened to, and not judged, fostering an environment for change and growth.
My journey into Psychotherapy...
My psychotherapy journey came directly from my own experience; I have ‘trodden the path’ of personal therapy myself. This inspired me to train as a psychotherapist, where I now support others with life's challenges, self-development, and wellbeing.
What does the direction of therapy look like?
The direction of therapy will be guided by you; our time together may be short or long-term, depending on your wishes. I will respect you as the expert in your own life and experiences. My role in the therapeutic relationship is to walk alongside you as we collaboratively explore your personal world and experiences.
I have a love for the outdoors and connecting with nature, and I am often found walking my dogs in the local countryside, which is an essential part of my personal self-care and wellbeing.

Additional information
I offer all potential new clients the opportunity of a free 20 minute phone call. This call offers you the time to give me an overview of the presenting issues being experienced and to ask any questions you may have about the therapy process.
This supports me in gaining an understanding of the presenting issues and how I can support you moving forward.
