Counselling in M20
I work with clients who are experiencing low mood, anxiety, and trauma/PTSD. You may have been through some difficult times in your life that you are struggling to understand or move past. For some this could be showing up as poor motivation, feeling low or hopeless, and not enjoying things anymore. For others they might be feeling on edge all the time, or be having nightmares, or be worried constantly. However you are feeling therapy can help to explore what is happening for you, and with some skills and a large dose of compassion move towards feeling better.

Hello, I'm Simon. Are you currently struggling? Feeling unhappy or unfulfilled? Perhaps you've recently experienced changes that have left you uncertain about the future. Perhaps you haven't been feeling good for a while now, and it's hard to see a way forward. Perhaps you are experiencing symptoms of stress, anxiety or depression.

Are you feeling stuck or overwhelmed? Perhaps you have noticed feeling low in mood or motivation, worried or anxious, stressed, burnt-out or disconnected from people close to you? You may have noticed difficulties related to a recent or past trauma that are difficult to manage or resulting in distress (e.g. difficult memories or images, nightmares, struggling to make sense of what has happened). Would you like a safe space to talk to and be listened to? If any of the above connects with you, I can help.

You may be a high-functioning professional who may be very capable on the outside, yet internally struggling with anxiety, overthinking, perfectionism, or feeling stuck. You might be experiencing panic, OCD, health or social anxiety, low mood, or burnout. You may be navigating identity questions, life transitions, or the emotional impact of living between cultures. You want relief from constant mental pressure, a deeper understanding of yourself, and a way to feel calmer, more confident, and more connected to who you are.

What a fortunate encounter. You have landed here. It can be unnerving to arrive somewhere or meet someone for the first time. My aim is to create with you a safe sanctuary, in which to contemplate your journey. I will be a witness and a facilitator in your exploration of what is burdening you, of what it means to be you, as you create new possibilities or grow or whatever it is that brings you on this path. If you are committed to yourself, curious and willing, then I am here for you. You can read about my experience and qualifications here. Thanks

You will receive a safe, accepting environment, where I will listen, and support you to become more aware of how to make the right choices for yourself. I can work with self-esteem and self-image issues, and issues such as life-direction. I share the view, in modern psychology, that people thrive when they are living their life aligned with those values which hold most meaning for them. Living a meaningful, or meaning-guided life, is often at the core of many issues. Many people have never had a safe space to explore their values and assess what is ultimately meaningful to them, and I am able to offer this in our work together.

It all begins with an idea, and then a decision.
Maybe you want to launch a new version of you?
Maybe you want to close a chapter on a bad experience and transform your life into something more? Or maybe you’re finally ready to make peace with a hard goodbye – to a relationship, a phase of life, or an identity?
You've arrived here because somewhere inside, you're ready to turn your life into your most powerful creative project yet.
When you tell your story, you transform the shame that once held you back into the strength that now propels you forward. I'm here to help you do that.

I offer the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT - tapping) which is like acupuncture but without the needles. You tap on specific parts of your body whilst working on difficult experiences or emotions. It is an evidenced based treatment which means it has a robust body of research demonstrating its effectiveness. It's as effective as CBT. It helps a large variety of difficulties.
It works by activating the parasympathetic nervous system (the system that makes the body relaxed) whilst thinking about difficult things so that the brain then associates the difficulties with relaxation in the future rather than distress.

Many of the people I work with feel stuck in some way. You might be struggling with anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties, past trauma, or patterns that keep repeating in your life. Perhaps communication at home has broken down, or you're trying to make sense of addiction or emotional overwhelm. I have particular experience supporting people working through addiction, trauma and relationship difficulties, helping them move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

Sometimes life throws us challenges both through past and present experiences, which knock us off our feet and we become engulfed in uncertainty, worry and fear. It could be that we start to doubt ourselves and feel that we are not good enough or we are unable to cope, leading to anxiety and depression. Whatever you are going through, it deserves care, attention and compassion. You may be struggling to make meaning of what is going on around as you navigate life changes or have experienced traumatic events that you need some relief from. Whatever you are going through, I hope to help.

Are you feeling anxious in social situations? Do you find it hard to stop or control worry? Are you feeling low and stuck in a rut? Or experiencing low self-esteem? Perhaps you’re having panic attacks or intrusive thoughts that are worrying you. Maybe you have experienced a trauma that you’re struggling to process or a phobia you want to overcome. These common difficulties can impact on your enjoyment and achievements in life; leading to patterns of avoidance, procrastinating or a need to be in control.
