Simon Favilli , BACP

Simon Favilli is licensed in the United Kingdom and brings 14 years of professional experience to his therapeutic work. He is affiliated with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy), which reflects his commitment to recognised professional standards and ongoing development.

Simon works with people facing stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, processing trauma and abuse, and navigating grief and loss. He approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, adapting conversations and treatment plans to the individual needs of the client. His practice focuses on practical, evidence-based support delivered in a way that honours each person’s experience.

Recognising that reaching out for change requires courage, Simon aims to be a steady source of support and encouragement. He collaborates with clients to identify realistic goals and build skills that promote a more fulfilling and happier life, guiding and empowering them throughout the therapeutic journey.

Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care

Simon uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on teaching practical coping skills to help manage stress and anxiety, such as breathing and problem-solving strategies that can reduce daily overwhelm and improve emotional regulation. He also applies structured interventions aimed at addressing addictive behaviours and supporting recovery, helping clients examine patterns, build healthier routines, and identify triggers related to substance use or compulsive habits. For those affected by trauma and loss, his approach includes gentle processing and paced support to help make sense of painful experiences and work towards rebuilding a sense of stability.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself, and Simon collaborates with each person to determine what fits best. He listens to a client's goals, preferences, and concerns, adjusting techniques and the pace of therapy so the process feels safe and constructive.

Online sessions - by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - offer flexibility for busy or geographically dispersed clients. These options make it easier to attend regular sessions, maintain continuity of care, and access support from home or elsewhere, while allowing therapists and licensed professionals to adapt methods to suit each person's needs.
