About Simon
Simon Favilli is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 14 years of professional experience. He works with people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, grief and depression. He aims to offer a respectful, sensitive and compassionate space for change.
Simon adapts sessions to fit each person's needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. He focuses on practical conversations that help people manage day-to-day challenges. This might include looking at unhelpful patterns, developing coping strategies, and talking through difficult feelings.
Background and approach
His practice also addresses related issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, body image concerns, codependency and communication problems. He has experience supporting people facing control issues, dependent personality traits, domestic violence, and drug or alcohol problems. He also works with grief, shame and impulsivity, along with obsessive and compulsive behaviours.
Simon uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to the person in front of him. Sessions are shaped around what the client wants to achieve and paced to match their comfort. He emphasises collaboration and practical steps you can use between meetings.
If you are thinking about starting, Simon encourages taking small steps. He aims to empower people to make lasting change while treating them with dignity and care.

How Simon works online
When starting work, Simon will aim to identify which approaches fit best for the person and the problem. He treats this as a collaborative process - clients share what they want to achieve and he helps match methods to those goals. That means trying options, checking what helps, and adjusting as needed.
If you are thinking about online sessions, please confirm the current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it straightforward to keep therapy going if work or family demands change, while the practical focus of evidence-based work supports making progress between meetings.
