Simon Favilli

Simon Favilli is a counsellor with 14 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. He works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, grief and depression. He aims to treat everyone with respect, sensitivity and compassion.

Simon focuses on tailoring conversations and plans to each person's needs. He listens for what matters most and shapes sessions around practical steps and small goals. He aims to help people feel more able to manage difficult feelings and choices.

His work includes supporting people facing problems related to attachment and abandonment, body image concerns, codependency and relationship communication. He also offers help for issues such as control struggles, impulse difficulties, obsessive or compulsive behaviours, and feelings of isolation or shame.

Simon has spent over a decade in practice and draws on that experience when responding to sudden crises and longer-term patterns. He aims to balance immediate coping strategies with exploring underlying triggers and histories.

Sessions are shaped around each persons goals. Simon encourages people to set small, practical steps between meetings and reviews progress together. He describes the first appointment as a chance to outline concerns and agree how to move forward.

How evidence-based ways of working translate to online therapy

Simon uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and understanding patterns. One common method helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and develop alternative ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety and low mood. Another approach works on recognising attachment and relationship patterns, aiming to improve how people relate and feel safe in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with each person and agree a plan based on their goals, history and preferences. That makes sessions a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all model.

Confirm the exact online session options before booking, as formats are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings around work, study or caring responsibilities, and can reduce travel time. Some formats are better for shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited, while others support longer conversational sessions. Ask about session length, scheduling and what will work best for everyday life before you start.
