My journey into counselling & psychotherapy…

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

My professional 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 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.

About my professional practice

I am passionate about being a person-centred psychotherapist, providing clients with a non-judgemental and empathetic space. My practice welcomes everyone, upholding the values of equality, diversity, and inclusion, while maintaining a professional 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 challenges 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.

I am a full clinical member of the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP), committed to upholding its ethical codes and principles to ensure the highest standards of professionalism and care.

Personal Values

My personal values centre around ‘connection’ to self, others, and the world we experience as unique individuals. I feel passionately about being person-centred, providing clients with a non-judgemental and empathic therapeutic environment that respects the autonomy and unique experience of every individual.

Outside of the therapy room I have a love for the outdoors and connecting with nature and will often be found walking my dogs in the local countryside which is an important part of my personal self-care and wellbeing.
