About Simon
BACP. 3 years' experience. Simon Nelson works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, low self‑esteem and depression. He also focuses on attachment issues, BDSM and kink concerns, caregiver stress, codependency, communication and commitment problems, substance misuse, loneliness and end‑of‑life matters.
Simon uses a client‑centred approach built on collaboration and respect. He also uses motivational interviewing techniques and structured dialogue when needed. Sessions are driven by what the client brings and aim to make sense of difficult feelings and choices.
He describes his work as relational and humanistic, emphasising listening and practical conversation rather than labels. In sessions he helps people identify strengths, values and small steps they can try between meetings.
Simon is based in the United Kingdom and works in English. He has three years' experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
Sessions begin with a short assessment to clarify what someone wants to work on and how to proceed. From there he and the client agree the focus and practical aims for counselling.
Simon aims for straightforward conversations about difficult topics. He uses simple, structured techniques alongside open listening to help people reduce distress, improve communication and manage challenges in day‑to‑day life.
How his approaches work in online counselling
Client‑centred counselling focuses on listening and collaboration. The counsellor follows what the client brings and helps them make sense of feelings, values and choices. This approach is often used for anxiety, low mood, relationship concerns and grief.Motivational interviewing is a short, focused way of talking about change. It helps people weigh options, resolve mixed feelings and find their own reasons to try different steps. This can be useful for substance use, codependency and situations where someone feels stuck.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will help clients decide which methods suit their needs and goals, and adjust the style as sessions progress. The process is collaborative and guided by the client’s preferences.
Session formats are not listed in his biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving or travel. It can also allow shorter check‑ins or sessions without video when that better fits a person's day.
