My Expert Service
|
I have long worked successfully online with clients in America and the UK, both on LivePerson and through my own website. I believe in empowering you to discover your own considerable resources and strength, which you can mobilise to deal with whatever is confronting you. Your answers are already within you and you can achieve so much more than you expect. So we will start from where you are now and we will look at how you can grow in your own unique way to be fully the person you are capable of being.
It can be appropriate to use counselling to help in a crisis, and I will always respond to clients in this situation, but for counselling/psychotherapy to be effective in helping you to re-shape your life in the longer term, it might be useful to work to an agreed plan. It’s not always possible to feel better straightaway, some things need patient working on.

Experience & Qualifications
|
I have been a counsellor for over 20 years. I have worked with the Samaritans (suicide prevention) and as a professional in the field of drug and alcohol abuse, then for 12 years in a medical centre within the National Health Service in the UK, where the range of issues and difficulties referred to counselling is all-embracing. I work with women and men of all ages from 18 upwards, and with specialist training and experience I have treated depression, severe anxiety, post-traumatic stress, abuse, personality and life-change issues, as well as stress and relationship difficulties. I have private clients for counselling and psychotherapy and supervise other counsellors and have completed in excess of 7000 hours of client work and 500 hours of supervision.
I am also a trainer. I run my own courses in counselling and self-development and for many years was director of a professionally accredited advanced qualification in counselling.
I now live in France and work as a counsellor face to face, online and by telephone, as well as facilitating retreats at my Centre, Le Sentier Tranquille, close by the Pyrenees mountains.

Simon listens intently, encourages you to listen deeply to yourself, and provides a space to do so. Skilled therapist who can open up a whole new way of understanding just with a few words at the right moment. Interesting!

The session was very straightforward, and I was impressed by the professionalism and insight. I was reassured that he would be available whenever I might need help, and will definitely continue with him soon.
