About Simon
Simon Favilli is a BACP-registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 14 years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. Sessions are conducted in English and Simon does not accept international clients.
Simon uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage distressing symptoms and improve daily functioning. He offers practical ways to cope with cravings, intrusive thoughts, intense emotions and the aftermath of difficult events. Conversations focus on what is happening now and steps that can be tried between sessions.
He pays attention to relational issues such as abandonment and attachment concerns. He also addresses codependency, communication problems, control issues and dependent personality patterns. These topics are linked to problems with guilt, shame, impulsivity and isolation that people often bring to therapy.
Work with addictions includes drug and alcohol difficulties and approaches aimed at reducing harm and regaining control. He also supports people dealing with domestic violence histories and family problems, offering steady, structured sessions that target safety planning and coping strategies when relevant.
Simon helps with body image, obsessive-compulsive behaviours and compulsions by breaking problems down into manageable steps. He uses clear, practical dialogue and collaborates with each person to shape goals and actions. To begin, clients follow the service’s sign-up pathway and schedule a first appointment.

How evidence-based approaches are used in remote sessions
Simon draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical steps. For example, behavioural strategies break problems into small actions to reduce avoidance and build coping skills; these are useful for anxiety, compulsions and mood struggles. A second approach involves relapse-prevention and harm-reduction methods for addictions, which focus on recognising triggers and creating manageable plans to reduce risk. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and decide together which techniques fit a person’s goals and preferences. That collaborative process means approaches can change as progress is made or as new needs appear. Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel by removing commute time. They can also allow shorter check-ins when needed, or sessions without video if that helps someone concentrate or reduces bandwidth demands. Registered or accredited professionals often adapt tasks and between-session work so therapy remains practical and relevant regardless of format.Sheet 3
