About Simon
Simon Nelson is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years of practice. He works with adults who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low mood, relationship problems, grief and issues with self-esteem. Simon also supports people facing codependency, attachment issues and challenges linked to kink and alternative sexual cultures.
He focuses on straightforward conversations about what is happening day to day. Sessions look at how patterns of people-pleasing, trouble saying no, or losing a sense of self show up in relationships. He helps people notice the choices they are making and the consequences of those choices for their wellbeing.
Simon bases his work on person-centred ideas. That means he follows the person in the room, listens closely, and reflects back what he hears so people can make clearer decisions. He also uses motivational interviewing techniques to help with change when someone feels stuck or finds it hard to move from thoughts into action.
Practical tools and structured dialogue are used when helpful. This can include setting small goals, exploring values, and practising clearer ways of saying no. He aims to keep sessions collaborative and focused on usable steps rather than abstract theories.
Simon works in the United Kingdom and carries out sessions in English. Before booking, people are asked to check the current session options and how the subscription model applies to their location.
How sessions work
How his approaches work for online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, reflective feedback and support for people to make their own decisions. It helps when someone needs to understand how their relationships and choices affect their mood and sense of self. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that helps when someone feels stuck and wants to change behaviour, such as reducing people-pleasing or taking steps away from harmful patterns.Finding the right way to work together is part of the process. Simon will talk with the client about what helps most, try things that fit their style, and adjust the approach as goals become clearer. That collaborative planning keeps the work practical and goal-focused.
The biography does not list which session formats are used, so people should confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It can also mean choosing audio-only conversations if being on camera is difficult, or planning sessions at times that suit work and caregiving routines. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often find these practical benefits help make regular sessions more usable in everyday life.
