About Simon
Simon Favilli is a counsellor with 14 years of experience practising in the United Kingdom. He works with people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and grief. He aims to treat everyone with respect, sensitivity and compassion while tailoring sessions to each person's needs.
Simon focuses on practical conversations that help people manage daily pressures and make small changes that add up. He listens for what matters most and helps set realistic steps to reduce anxiety, cope with loss, or cut down on harmful behaviours.
Background and approach
Sessions are collaborative and paced to suit the individual. His background includes long-term work supporting people through difficult life events. That experience informs how he approaches problems such as attachment and abandonment, codependency, and communication difficulties.
He also offers help around body image concerns, obsessive or compulsive behaviours, and issues connected to guilt and shame. People also come to him for help with drug and alcohol addiction, domestic violence related distress, impulsivity, loneliness, and family-related problems. He aims to create a clear plan rather than leaving worries unresolved.
Conversations cover coping strategies, practical problem solving, and steps toward greater emotional balance. Simon uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to fit each person’s situation. He encourages small, manageable goals and supports people as they try out new ways of coping.
Getting started begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session.

Online support
Another approach concentrates on skills for managing intense feelings and improving coping after trauma or loss. It teaches practical tools for calming the body, tolerating strong emotions and rebuilding routines. These skills can be useful when facing grief, flashbacks or overwhelming shame.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will explore what matters to the client and agree on techniques that match goals and preferences. That collaborative process means plans can be adjusted as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different lifestyles. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options give flexibility for people balancing work, family and other commitments.
