More about Simon
- 19 years' experience
- Male
- BACP
I am an Accredited Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, in the UK. I am currently offering telephone and/or video sessions.
Prior to beginning my Counselling training in 2001 , I had worked for 20+ years in US companies in a variety of Human Resource roles where I worked with many " life event" issues for our employees.
I trained at The Gestalt Centre in London and my therapeutic style is focused on raising awareness of our holistic self ie our mental, emotional, physical and spiritual awareness, in order to help identify areas in our lives that may benefit from change. I also integrate CBT techniques as appropriate.
I hope my clients find my style to be warm , flexible and ultimately rewarding.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.

- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
