About Simon
Simon Davies is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with a Master’s degree in Counselling and three years of professional experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief and trauma. He also supports those struggling with self-esteem, addictions, workplace pressure and parenting concerns.
He aims to create a warm, non-judgemental space where clients can speak openly. He starts by listening and by treating each person as the expert on their own life.
Background and approach
This helps build trust and gives a clear sense of what matters most to the client. Simon adapts his approach to each person’s needs. He draws on client-centred methods, cognitive behavioural ideas and trauma-focused work.
That mix lets him use practical tools alongside deeper reflection about past experience. His experience includes online and face-to-face work, and roles in non-profits, independent practice and prisons. Those settings have shaped how he supports people through big life changes and difficult events.
When someone first gets in touch, Simon focuses on clear, manageable steps. He works at a steady pace to help people reduce overwhelming feelings, improve coping, and make changes that suit their life. Parents reading this will find practical, respectful support for parenting worries and family-related stress.

Approaches that translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding your perspective and building a trusting therapeutic relationship. It helps when you want someone who listens closely and follows your priorities rather than imposing a fixed plan.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It often uses practical exercises and strategies that can be practised between sessions to reduce anxiety, manage mood and change unhelpful patterns.
Trauma-Focused Therapy offers ways to work with the impact of difficult past events. It aims to reduce the hold of distressing memories and improve day-to-day coping through gradual, paced work.
Choosing the best approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable. Together they can adjust methods over time to find what helps most, combining listening with practical tools when useful.
Online therapy offers flexibility and makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing or need support between calls. These options help people maintain continuity of care from different locations and schedules.
