Simon Davies is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom.

About Simon

Simon Davies is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. He holds a Master's degree in Counselling and has three years of professional experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, trauma and abuse, and challenges with self-esteem and life change.

Simon adopts a client-centred, collaborative style that treats the person as the expert in their own life. Sessions aim to be warm and non-judgemental so people can talk openly about difficult feelings.

Background and approach

He draws on approaches such as Trauma-Focused Therapy and cognitive behavioural ideas when they fit the person’s needs. His background includes work across online and in-person settings, plus roles with non-profits, independent practice and prisons. Those experiences inform a practical focus on how past events can influence current behaviour and relationships.

He supports people who want to understand those patterns and try different ways of coping. Common topics he helps with include bereavement, post-traumatic stress, addictions, workplace stress, parenting concerns, and compassion fatigue. He also addresses issues such as guilt, shame, isolation and life purpose when these come up in conversation.

Simon uses an integrative, person-led way of working. That means he adapts sessions to what each person needs and combines elements from different approaches. The goal is to find realistic, manageable steps that fit everyday life.

How his approaches work online and in session

Simon uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people who are coping with traumatic events or post-traumatic stress; this approach looks at how trauma affects thoughts and feelings and works on stabilising and processing those experiences. Client-Centred Therapy is a core part of his way of working and means the person leads the pace and content of sessions while the counsellor offers empathic listening and acceptance. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) tools are used when helpful to identify patterns of thinking and try practical experiments to change unhelpful reactions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. He will discuss options with each person, consider their goals and preferences, and agree on a plan that feels manageable. The aim is a collaborative process where methods are adjusted as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility with video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are good for fuller conversations and visual contact, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a work break, while live chat and messaging allow shorter check-ins and written reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life and to keep continuity when travel or schedules change.
