About Simon

Simon Favilli is a counsellor with 14 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma and grief. He aims to treat everyone with respect and compassion while tailoring support to each person's circumstances.

He focuses on practical conversations that help clients make manageable changes. Sessions centre on understanding what feels most pressing and finding steps to reduce distress. The work is collaborative and paced to suit each person.

Background and approach

Simon has substantial experience helping people cope with trauma and abuse as well as substance-related difficulties. He also addresses issues like attachment and abandonment, codependency, control and communication problems, and obsessive or compulsive behaviours. He offers support for emotional pain such as guilt, shame, isolation and grief.

He helps people rebuild routines, manage cravings, and find ways to lessen anxiety day to day. The approach is adaptive rather than one-size-fits-all. Sessions are offered in English and take place online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging.

Practical steps for starting include a short matching questionnaire and scheduling according to availability. Simon describes therapy as a partnership where small changes add up over time.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Simon uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear steps and practical change. One approach emphasises helping people process traumatic experiences by gradually working through memories and reactions at a pace they can manage; this can reduce overwhelm and aid daily functioning. Another approach focuses on coping skills for anxiety and cravings, teaching breathing, grounding, routine-building and thought-challenging tools that are easy to practise between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will listen to your goals and concerns, try methods that fit your needs, and adjust the plan as you go. Clients are involved in decisions about techniques and homework so the work stays relevant and manageable.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for this kind of work. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a longer, more interactive session is needed. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter updates, between-session support, or people who communicate better in writing. Together these options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep momentum between sessions.
