About Simon

Simon Nelson offers calm, steady support for adults facing stress, anxiety, low mood, relationship strain, grief, or issues with self-esteem. He works to create a space where people feel accepted and heard. He writes plainly and meets clients with warmth and respect so they can talk about what matters to them.

Simon draws on a person-centred way of working that puts the client’s experience first. That means sessions focus on the person’s concerns and pace, not a fixed agenda.

Background and approach

He also uses Motivational Interviewing techniques to help people clarify what they want to change and to build confidence in taking steps toward those goals. Sessions are collaborative and conversational. Simon listens for strengths and values, then helps make sense of patterns such as control issues, codependency, or attachment concerns.

He also supports people dealing with grief, hospice and end-of-life matters, caregiver stress, addiction challenges, and feelings of isolation. Practical problems like communication and commitment issues are addressed through structured dialogue when useful. Simon can also discuss topics that are sometimes difficult to name, including BDSM, kink and alternative sex culture, in a non-judgemental way.

He holds a BACP registration, has three years of counselling experience, and works with clients in the United Kingdom. Sessions are offered in English and are available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.

Online support

Client-Centred Therapy puts your experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens deeply and follows your pace, helping you make sense of feelings and relationships. This approach suits people wanting to explore low mood, anxiety, grief or self-esteem concerns without a rigid plan.

Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way of talking that helps people clarify what they want to change. It uses gentle, structured questions to build motivation and confidence, which can help with addiction, procrastination, or making life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Simon will discuss which methods feel most useful and adapt them to your goals and preferences. That collaboration helps ensure sessions remain focused on what matters to you and fit your pace.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make counselling more practical. Video is useful for longer conversations and visual connection. Phone sessions can fit into a shorter break and need less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer writing or need quick check-ins. These options give flexibility for different schedules and communication styles.
