About Simon
Simon Favilli is a counsellor registered with the BACP with 14 years of professional experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief and depression, and he provides one-to-one support in these areas.
Simon uses straightforward conversation and practical steps to help people manage difficult feelings. He adapts sessions to what a person needs and prefers, and focuses on clear, manageable goals rather than jargon. Sessions look at patterns such as attachment, abandonment concerns, codependency and control issues when these are part of the problem.
His work also includes support for issues related to substance misuse, compulsive behaviours, and the emotional effects of domestic violence and family problems. He talks through feelings of guilt, shame and isolation and helps people consider changes that reduce impulsivity and improve communication.
Simon brings experience working with obsessive and compulsive behaviour, body image difficulties and dependent personality patterns, among other concerns. He explains options plainly and helps people weigh practical strategies for everyday life.
People who choose him begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and international clients are not currently accepted.
How evidence-based methods translate to online work
Simon uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour and on processing difficult experiences. Cognitive approaches help people notice and adjust thinking patterns that feed anxiety and compulsions, while behavioural strategies support step-by-step practice to reduce avoidance and build confidence in social situations.He also draws on approaches that address attachment and relationship patterns, helping people understand how past relationships shape current responses and what practical adjustments can ease isolation and improve communication. Each approach is explained in plain terms and linked to everyday goals rather than theory alone.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist and client discuss symptoms, goals and preferences and then trial methods that fit best. This is collaborative - plans are adjusted as progress and needs become clearer.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, offer quieter surroundings when that helps, or allow shorter check-ins when time is limited. Registered and accredited professionals can adapt exercises and homework so therapy keeps working between sessions.
