About Simon
Simon Favilli is a counsellor with 14 years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom. He focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, grief and depression. Simon aims to treat people with respect, sensitivity and compassion and adapts his approach to each person’s needs.
Simon uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and shapes sessions around what is most useful for the person in front of him. He listens for patterns such as attachment difficulties, codependency or problems with control, and then helps people develop clearer ways of coping.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and goal-orientated, with clear steps to try between meetings. Many people come when emotions feel overwhelming or when old hurts keep repeating. Simon supports people dealing with abandonment, guilt, shame, isolation and obsessive behaviours.
He also works with those affected by domestic violence, family problems, and drug or alcohol addiction, helping them make practical changes in daily life. Simon offers work that combines short-term strategies and longer-term change. That might include practical exercises to manage anxiety, structured ways to approach compulsive behaviour, or paced work through traumatic memories.
The emphasis is on what helps day to day rather than on labels. He communicates clearly about next steps and invites questions about the process. People who prefer a direct, supportive conversational style often find this approach straightforward and manageable.

Online support
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with you about your goals, what has helped or not helped before, and your preferences for how to work. Together you will try methods and adjust them as needed so the approach fits your life and brings clearer day-to-day benefits.
Online therapy gives practical flexibility. Video calls let you see facial expressions and body language, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day, live chat suits quick check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and to fit therapy around work, travel, and family commitments.
