About Simon

Simon Favilli helps people work through stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression using evidence-based therapeutic techniques. He is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 14 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.

He offers straightforward, practical conversations that focus on what is causing distress and what can change. Sessions look at patterns such as attachment and abandonment worries, codependency, control issues, or compulsive behaviours. He also addresses family problems, substance use, guilt and shame, and struggles with body image and isolation.

Simon adapts the pace and topics to each person. He works collaboratively to set goals and to try techniques that suit the individual. This might include looking at thoughts and behaviours, coping skills for strong emotions, and ways to reduce compulsive or impulsive actions.

Over 14 years he has helped people recover from abuse, manage loss, and reduce the impact of anxiety and addictive behaviours. His approach balances practical tools with time to understand how past experiences affect present choices.

Sessions are delivered in line with BACP practice. People who want to start complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.

Approaches used and how online sessions work

Simon uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing patterns that maintain distress. Cognitive-style approaches look at unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, and teach practical skills to manage anxiety and compulsive actions. Trauma-informed methods attend to the impact of past abuse or loss, helping to reduce reactivity and improve coping after difficult experiences.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will discuss options with each person and agree the techniques that best fit their goals and preferences. The process is collaborative, with adjustments made as progress is reviewed.
