Simon is so approachable and calm, I felt able to open up fully right away. He listens and offers wisdom without leading me and never has a judgement. I always feel I'm in a safe space with him and always come away feeling empowered, with a lighter outlook and I feel as calm as Simon is.

Simon creates an amazing space that makes you feel safe to openly communicate and discuss your emotions and thoughts.

Simon has been incredible, when I first entered therapy I wasn’t sure where I was going, just that something didn’t feel right. Through gentle, caring and open conversation Simon has helped me understand these issues as well as helping me to navigate them and their causes. I can easily say that over the last six months, with Simon’s guidance, my life has changed into a far more peaceful and open one than previously.

Simon is patient, non-judgemental and empathetic. He immediately put me at ease and has always got to the root of the issues in my thought patterns.

Simon is a calming presence; he slows down the fast pace of life and has a soothing, kind tone. This has helped me to step back from problems, dial down racing thoughts, and view issues with greater clarity, objectivity and kindness. He explains concepts clearly and gets to the root of the issues quickly. We have focused on mindfulness, early years experiences/relationships, establishing boundaries, self-esteem and building a sense of self.

Simon was easy to talk to and held a very compassionate space for me.

His openness and ability to listen and understand with a non judgemental and friendly approach made it very easy to discuss personal issues. He really helped me find my way on to the right path which has helped to give me purpose to my life and fulfilment in how I live it. I’d highly recommend Simon as a therapist.

Simon is very easy to talk to and very good at helping to explore problems whilst been completely impartial. Excellent therapist.

When choosing a psychotherapist, your own "gut" is important. The "wavelength" must be right. With Simon it was right from the first moment. If you are looking for an empathic, calm and warm therapist, Simon is the right place for you. I feel comfortable with him, he encourages me to open up and I was able to establish a very good relationship of trust with Simon. I have already been able to take a lot with me from the therapy sessions.

Simon was extremely helpful, engaging and easy to work with. Also very open to resolution of the issues, bringing the process to a close and giving me tools to move on with.

Simon is empathetic and understanding, and I have a different, more positive experience with him than I have with therapists in the past. He explains concepts clearly, which has helped me to build up the confidence to make changes I need to in order to get to where I want to go.

Simon will challenge your thinking and help you understand and choose a better path providing a healthy dose of perspective along with practical tools and intuitive advice. He's a great listener and will also provide his experienced view in a refreshing, honest and realistic way.

Simon is very open minded and caring. He really creates a safe environment allowing you to feel fully relaxed and engaged. He also takes time out to make sure you understand everything. He is also really good at not just explaining ideas and techniques, he also shows you how to utilize them, making it easier to understand.

I had no doubts about Simon being a gifted counsellor from the moment we met. Simon is experienced, calm and empathetic. We got to the root causes of my short-term and long-term stress triggers quickly, allowing time to think through doable actions needed to give me the results I needed. Thank you Simon.

I found Jana very easy to talk to, right from the off. I felt able to relax. Jana was very perceptive and always gave me plenty of food for thought at the end of each session. The frequency of the sessions was at my pace, initially weekly, and then two weekly. Thanks to Jana, I understand myself much more now, and feel much more capable of managing my anxiety and depression. Highly recommended.
