He offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make ongoing work easier to fit into a busy schedule.

His aim is to meet people where they are without assumptions.

Simon prioritizes an inclusive environment so clients can explore identity and mood with less shame and more clarity.
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Simon uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear goals and practical steps. One common approach he uses helps people learn skills to manage anxiety and mood swings through small, repeatable practices that reduce day-to-day distress. Another approach emphasizes understanding identity and relationships, offering gentle exploration of gender, sexuality, kink culture, and non-monogamous arrangements so people can make choices that fit their values and needs.Deciding which approach fits best is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your concerns, try an approach, and adjust based on what feels most helpful. Clients are involved in setting goals and reviewing progress so the work stays relevant to real life.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into work, school, or family routines. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation, phone works when bandwidth is limited, chat or text can be good for brief check-ins, and messaging lets people reflect between sessions. These options aim to make starting and continuing therapy more flexible and accessible.
