I believe everyone should have a safe and healing place to work through life's difficulties, and I love working with children, teens, families and couples. I work from a collaborative, strengths-based approach, assisting and supporting you to be the author of your own life. I further believe the therapeutic relationship should be one of authenticity and collaboration that feels safe and supportive. I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, disruptive behaviours, relationship challenges, self-esteem, and end-of-life/ terminal diagnosis related challenges.

I just need.....space, time, understanding, but do not know where to turn?
Are you are struggling to cope with low mood? Whether it be through grief, separation, anxiety or unwanted, intrusive thoughts. Counselling may help. I can provide you with a space that is non-judgemental and confidential so that we can talk about these challenges and help you find a way through them.

Looking for a counsellor is already a brave step. My hope for you, is that we can explore whats distressing you, what’s maintaining it and how we can bring about positive change. Anxiety, Low Mood and Relationship struggles amongst others, are all issues we can face at various times in our life. Understanding ourselves better and how to best cope can begin to alleviate the discomfort felt in emotional distressing times. Therapy provides a safe space to explore what's keeping you stuck, what's driving it and how to unlock yourself from thinking and behaviours that no longer serve you.

Are you struggling with the demands of life or maybe something that has happened that has had an impact on you? Taking the first step to getting help can be both a difficult and scary experience. Together, we can make sense of the difficulties that you are experiencing and think together about what you'd like to change and with my guidance we can think about how you can achieve this.

Do you feel constantly exhausted and burned out? Like nothing you ever do is good enough? Do you have autism, ADHD, a chronic health condition and/or are you part of the LGBTQI+ community?
You might describe yourself as different, other, a perfectionist or a failure. You might be using up all your energy just to stay afloat.
You may have a concrete goal in mind around daily functioning or work performance. Or your goal may be to talk a little more kindly to yourself and rest when you need to. Perhaps you just want to feel more comfortable in your own skin.

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.

What if. Two words that send your mind down a well-worn path. Words and images that pop into your head at any moment and no matter how hard you try to push it away you find yourself stuck; thinking, feeling and doing the same thing over and over. Maybe it’s reliving the past, maybe it’s worrying about the future, or feeling you need to do something right now or something bad will happen. “What if” is hard to live with. But when your mind is stuck in the “what if’s” your brain is telling you there is something you need to figure out, something you need to rebalance.

I work with relationships & all family dynamics - ‘logical and biological’ - stuck communicating safely through conflict and disconnect. In therapy we work together to find a compassionate understanding of the challenges you have, how they are impacting you, and strategies to think, feel and be different in them to feel safe and secure. Knowing how to have confident relationships with those around us is how we thrive and this often means learning new ways to talk, act and self advocate within them. Communication is the lever of connection and psycho-education is part of our therapy so we understand ourselves, and others, better.
