About Simon
BACP. 14 years of experience. Simon Favilli works in the United Kingdom and focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief and depression. He offers one-to-one counselling and uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage difficult feelings and behaviours.
Simon helps people talk through what is happening and what they want to change. He addresses problems such as obsessive or impulsive behaviour, substance and alcohol difficulties, and coping after loss. He also works with issues linked to attachment, abandonment and codependency, and supports people facing isolation, shame or guilt.
Sessions focus on practical steps as well as talking about emotions. Simon explains options clearly and adapts sessions to what each person needs. He aims to help people develop clearer ways of thinking and healthier routines that reduce stress and unhelpful reactions.
Across his 14 years in practice he has worked with a wide range of concerns connected to communication problems, control issues, family difficulties and domestic violence. That experience informs how he recognises patterns and suggests alternative approaches in sessions.
Appointments are arranged through an online sign-up and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. Sessions are conducted in English and Simon does not take international clients, so work is with people based in the United Kingdom.
Approaches used in online counselling and practicalities
Simon practices evidence-based therapeutic techniques that help people change thoughts and behaviours. Cognitive-style approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thinking and trying out different ways of responding; these are commonly used for anxiety, depression and obsessive thoughts. Behavioural techniques concentrate on changing routines and habits, which can be useful for addictions, impulsivity and compulsive behaviours.Choosing the best approach is part of the work. The counsellor and client will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped before. Together they agree a way of working and review it as progress is made, adjusting methods if needed.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify formats here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, family commitments or travel, and some formats suit brief check-ins while others support longer therapeutic work. Registered or accredited professionals often aim to keep appointments consistent so counselling fits into everyday life without adding extra travel time.
