About Simon
Simon Davies is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with a Master’s degree in Counselling and three years of practice. He focuses on helping people facing grief, trauma, anxiety, low self-esteem and big life changes. He believes clients are the experts on their own stories and brings a calm, respectful manner to sessions.
He creates an open, non-judgemental space so people can say what’s on their mind. Sessions are tailored to each person, with the pace set by the client.
Background and approach
Simon draws on person-centred ideas and cognitive approaches to keep work practical and relevant. His experience includes both online and in-person work across non-profits, independent practice, and prison settings. Those roles have given him clear insight into trauma, compassion fatigue, and complex loss.
That background informs how he supports people recovering from distress or process addictions. In session he listens for what matters most and helps people build coping strategies. That can mean talking through the impact of family of origin issues, managing anxiety at work, or finding ways to rebuild confidence.
He also supports people dealing with isolation, guilt, or a search for meaning. Simon offers a collaborative, client-led approach. He uses practical tools from cognitive behavioural work alongside a person-centred stance that values empathy and respect.
He aims to help people make steady, manageable progress toward their goals.

Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses straightforward exercises and tools to help with anxiety, low mood, workplace stress and unhelpful habits.
Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on the effects of traumatic events and aims to reduce distressing symptoms and improve day-to-day coping. It can be useful for people recovering from abuse, accidents, disasters or other serious incidents.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most useful. That conversation shapes a plan and can include a mix of approaches as needs change.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use body language and visual cues, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit quick reflections, ongoing check-ins and people who prefer writing. These options help fit therapy around work, caring duties and travel.
