Hello, my name is Simon. Everyone needs help occasionally. There could be one, or a number of issues that now feel too much. You may have a dilemma or a challenge you are finding difficult to work through. You may be looking to grow and develop to feel like you are progressing and thriving in a way you haven't managed to yet. If you feel like this, you may need help to work out how to cope and to move forward. Please take time to read my details. I'd like to help.
About me and my practice
Everyone needs support from time to time. What some might consider day to day issues gradually or suddenly feel like much more. I work with individuals and with couples in all types of relationships.
Not quite feeling right but not sure why. Life feeling harder than it normally does. Maybe something significant or traumatic has happened in your life, recently or in the past, and you can't quite come to terms with it, or work out how you can learn to cope with it.
Maybe:-
You've heard about counselling and wonder if it would help
Someone who cares about you suggested it might help
You'll try anything because you're stuck and can't seem to find a way through yourself
You feel sad; are experiencing anxiety; depression; low self-esteem; or having some family or relationship issues
You would like to work with someone you have a relationship with to improve your relationship with them
I would like to offer to support you, and offer face to face sessions as well as video and telephone counselling if you prefer.
If you've got this far, you've taken the first step. The next one may be difficult, but I would like to invite you to contact me to discuss how I can help.
I can offer a confidential, private space where you can say what you like, however you like, without fear of judgement or upsetting someone else. I will do my best to understand what life is like for you, through your lens. I will help you to work out what you want to do and how you would like to do it, to be the best version of yourself you can be.
Experience
I have experience of working in private practice; with small businesses; various charities; health insurances and as a volunteer for Cruse Bereavement Support, with a wide variety of clients from diverse backgrounds who bring their own unique experiences and issues to counselling. This is with individual clients and with couples in various different types of relationships.
