My Approach

I am passionate about being a person-centred psychotherapist, providing clients with a non-judgemental and empathetic space.
My practice welcomes everyone, upholding values of equality, diversity, and inclusion, while maintaining an interest in men’s wellbeing.

The direction of therapy will be guided by you; our time together may be short or long-term, depending on your wishes. I will respect you as the expert in your own life and experiences. My role in the therapeutic relationship is to walk alongside you as we collaboratively explore your personal world and experiences.

I have previous experience working with a recovery partnership based in Derbyshire, supporting adults affected by substance misuse, addiction, and recovery. Additionally, I have worked for an independent charity operating across Derbyshire, providing support and wellbeing services to residents and supporting a diverse range of presenting issues.

About Me

Hi, I’m Simon. I am a qualified psychotherapist with an MSc in Person-Centred & Experiential Psychotherapy from The Sherwood Psychotherapy Training Institute in Nottingham.

My counselling journey came directly from my own experience of therapy; I have ‘trodden the path’ of therapy myself. This experience inspired me to train as a counsellor and psychotherapist, and I now support others with life's challenges, self-development, and wellbeing.

I offer a confidential space for you to explore personal challenges, where you will be valued, listened to, and not judged, fostering an environment for change and growth.

I have a love for the outdoors and connecting with nature, and I am often found walking my dogs in the local countryside, which is an essential part of my personal self-care and wellbeing.
