Simon Davies , BACP

Simon Davies is a UK-based counselling practitioner who holds a Master’s degree in Counseling and the BACP credential (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). With three years of professional experience, he has supported people through bereavement, trauma, challenges with self-esteem and confidence, and the process of understanding how earlier experiences influence present life. He works from the premise that each person is the expert on their own story and that built-in strengths can be drawn on to navigate difficult times.

Warm and approachable in style, he aims to create an open, non-judgmental space where people feel able to share their thoughts and feelings. His practice includes both online and in-person work across non-profit settings, private practice, and custodial environments, experiences that have informed his appreciation for the uniqueness of every client’s journey.

Simon offers a client-led, integrative approach that is tailored to individual needs. He draws on client-centered principles, cognitive behavioral techniques, and trauma-focused methods to design a personalised plan that fits each person’s goals and pace. Taking the first step can feel daunting - Simon is committed to supporting people through that beginning and alongside them as they work toward greater wellbeing and purpose.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Simon Davies uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, empathetic space where the person’s experience guides the pace and direction of work - this approach often helps with self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship concerns.

He also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours to develop practical strategies for managing anxiety, depression, and stress-related symptoms.

In addition, trauma-focused therapy provides targeted support for those affected by past traumatic events, helping to process memories and reduce the ongoing impact of trauma on everyday life.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Simon will collaborate with each person to identify what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration guides how techniques are combined and applied.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, Simon’s online practice aims to make therapy more accessible and flexible. These formats allow people to arrange sessions around work, family, or other commitments and to continue therapy from different locations when needed.
