About Simon
Simon Favilli is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 14 years of professional experience. He holds BACP registration with a background in supporting people through stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and grief. Simon uses a respectful and compassionate approach and aims to tailor conversations to each person's needs.
He focuses on practical ways to cope with overwhelming feelings. Sessions often centre on building clearer thinking and steadier routines. Simon helps people notice unhelpful patterns and try small changes that make daily life easier.
Simon also works with issues linked to relationships and self-image. This includes concerns such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, codependency and communication problems. He offers a calm space to talk through past hurts and current urges without judgement.
When addiction or compulsive behaviour is present, Simon looks at triggers and the practical steps that reduce risk. For trauma and grief he moves at a pace the client can manage and helps with coping strategies for difficult moments. He explains options clearly and adapts the approach as people progress.
Simon asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire before starting. That helps shape an initial plan and set realistic, manageable goals. He aims to support people steadily as they work towards clearer boundaries and better day-to-day functioning.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Simon uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and clearer thinking. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and test new ways of responding to stressful situations; it is useful for anxiety, low mood and obsessive thinking. Another approach focuses on behaviour and routines, helping people reduce impulsive or addictive actions with step-by-step plans and relapse prevention skills.Finding the right approach is collaborative. Simon will listen to your history, goals and current difficulties, then suggest methods and adapt them as you go. Together you will try things, review what helps, and change course when needed so the work fits your life and aims.
If you are considering online work, please confirm the session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when days are tight. They also let people use calmer surroundings and limit time away from home or work while working on real-life routines and coping strategies.
