Simon Favilli, BACP

Simon Favilli offers practical, evidence-based therapeutic support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, addiction or grief. He works in a straightforward way and focuses on what will make day-to-day life feel more manageable. Simon holds BACP registration, and he brings 14 years of professional experience to his work.

He treats trauma and abuse with sensitivity and aims to create a calm, respectful space for people to talk. Sessions are shaped around each person’s needs, so conversation and pacing change to suit the individual. Simon emphasises clear steps and simple strategies to help reduce distress over time.

Simon also helps people dealing with addiction and substance use by addressing patterns and triggers. He supports those wrestling with depression, guilt, shame or impulsivity using practical discussion and reflective listening. Work on relationships focuses on attachment, abandonment and communication problems rather than on couples or family sessions.

Other areas he addresses include body image, codependency, control issues, dependent personality traits, domestic violence impacts and obsessive-compulsive concerns. He will help you identify small, achievable goals and track progress between meetings. Simon aims to empower people so they can try different ways of coping and notice what helps.

To start, you complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to his availability. Payment uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. If you are considering therapy, Simon can guide the initial steps and explain how he works in more detail.

How Simon’s approaches translate to online therapy

Simon works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical steps. One common approach uses structured conversations to identify patterns that keep problems going and to try out new behaviours. This helps with anxiety, compulsions and repetitive thought patterns by breaking them into manageable parts.

Another approach emphasises processing difficult experiences and emotions through guided discussion and reflection. This can be useful for trauma, grief and relationship-related wounds because it supports people to make sense of what happened and to find ways to move forward.

Finding the right approach is often collaborative. Simon will discuss different options with you and decide together which fits your needs, goals and preferences. He adapts the plan as you progress and checks in regularly about what is helping.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also allows people to work with a registered professional from their local area without changing daily routines.
