About Simon

Simon Favilli is a counsellor with 14 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. He offers calm, straightforward support for people facing stress, anxiety and the challenges of addiction, trauma and grief.

Simon keeps conversations practical and respectful. He adapts sessions to each person's needs and works at a pace that feels manageable. He focuses on helping people develop clearer thinking and steady routines to reduce panic and overwhelming moments.

In sessions he listens for patterns that keep problems cycling. He then helps people try small, testable changes in thinking and behaviour. This practical focus aims to reduce intense anxiety, compulsive habits and unhelpful responses to loss or hurt.

Simon believes reaching out is a brave step. He aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk frankly about difficult topics such as addiction, shame, family conflict and attachment worries. He encourages realistic goals and offers straightforward tools people can try between sessions.

People who work with him can expect clear explanations, gentle challenge and ongoing check-ins about progress. He tailors the plan as needs change and supports people as they build more steady routines and coping skills.

How Simon uses evidence-based techniques online

Simon works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear steps and practical changes. One common approach he uses helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test them against reality, which can reduce panic and persistent worry. Another approach focuses on gradual behaviour changes and routines to lower stress and curb addictive patterns; it helps people build steady daily habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk through options and choose methods together based on the person's goals and what feels workable. This collaborative process includes regular review so techniques can be adjusted as needs change.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by avoiding travel, allowing shorter check-ins on a busy day, or making it possible to meet around work hours. Many people find remote sessions helpful for keeping momentum between appointments and practising new skills in everyday settings.
