About Simon
Simon Petters is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with six years of professional experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. Simon describes clients as the experts on their own stories and aims to build on their existing strengths.
He offers practical conversation and reflective listening. Sessions focus on clarifying what causes distress and on small, manageable steps to cope differently. He uses mindful awareness and attention to feelings to help people notice unhelpful patterns.
Simon draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current ways of relating. He also uses psychodynamic and Jungian perspectives to consider recurring themes, internal conflicts and personal meaning. These approaches are used to help people make sense of painful experiences and repeated behaviours.
Work may include exploring motivation and confidence, addressing process or substance addictions, and talking through issues linked to abandonment, isolation or guilt. He will help people identify practical strategies alongside reflection on deeper patterns.
Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s readiness. Simon accepts international clients and works in English. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling details.
How his approaches work online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns of trust and closeness. Online sessions can help people notice repeating relationship themes and practise different ways of connecting or setting boundaries. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the client. This approach helps people clarify goals, feel heard, and explore what changes they want to make.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Simon will discuss which methods feel most useful and will adjust them as the sessions progress. That process is collaborative so the person and the therapist decide together what to try next.
Session arrangements are not specified in the biography, so confirm available formats before booking. Many people find remote appointments make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-in sessions when needed. Online work can also make it simpler to maintain continuity when living abroad or travelling, but check the current session options when you match and schedule.
