Welcome
Hi, I’m Simon, a 39-year-old, Scottish, fully registered counsellor with the BACP, and I’m here to offer a space where you can feel accepted, understood, and supported, whatever challenges you may be facing.
About Me
I’ve worked with adults navigating a range of concerns, including anxiety, low mood, life changes, and relationship difficulties. I know reaching out for support can feel like a big step, and I’m committed to providing a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore what’s going on for you at your own pace.
My practice is grounded in a relational, person-centred approach, rooted in empathy, acceptance, and respect, and informed by humanistic theory and research. I believe in working alongside you, supporting you to make sense of your experiences while helping you empower yourself by connecting with your strengths and values.
I also draw on structured dialogue techniques and creative approaches when helpful, ensuring our sessions remain collaborative and led by your needs.
What You Can Expect
You can expect warmth, authenticity, and professionalism in our sessions together. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply wish to understand yourself better, my aim is to support you in gaining clarity, easing distress, and moving towards what feels important to you.
If you are looking for a counsellor who will meet you with authenticity, compassion, and honesty, I would be honoured to support you on your journey.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
