About Simon

Simon Petters is a BACP-credentialed therapist based in the United Kingdom with six years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, addiction and the effects of trauma and abuse. He also works with clients on building motivation, self-esteem and confidence, and on challenging patterns related to attachment, dependence and isolation. Simon approaches therapy with the belief that each person is the expert of their own story and that existing strengths can be drawn upon to navigate difficult life changes.

He emphasizes a respectful, collaborative working style that encourages clients to take the courageous first steps toward a more fulfilling life. Simon offers structured support and practical tools while attending to the underlying emotional dynamics that contribute to recurring struggles. His practice focuses on empowering people to develop clearer insight, healthier relationships and more sustainable coping strategies.

Simon is accepting new clients, including those internationally, and provides a range of online therapy options to fit different needs and schedules.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape emotional patterns and expectations. It can help people who struggle with abandonment, clinginess, or difficulty trusting others by exploring how attachment history affects present-day responses. Client-Centered Therapy places the client at the centre of the process, offering an empathic, nonjudgemental space where personal insight, self-acceptance and internal strengths are prioritised; it is useful for building confidence and finding direction. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at recurring emotional themes and unconscious patterns that influence behaviour and relationships, offering deeper understanding of persistent issues such as trauma, dependency or self-esteem difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Simon works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods best suit their needs, goals and preferences, and adapts the work as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps ensure therapy remains relevant and practical for each person.

Online therapy offers flexibility to fit therapy into busy or changing lives. Through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, clients can access ongoing support without travel, choose the communication mode that feels most comfortable, and maintain continuity of care across locations and schedules. Licensed professionals and therapists can tailor session frequency and format to match individual circumstances and goals.
