Simon Petters, BACP

Simon Petters helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem or the effects of trauma and abuse. He introduces a calm, straightforward way of working so clients can take small steps toward feeling steadier and more in control.

Simon has six years of practice in the United Kingdom and holds BACP accreditation, which is listed as BACP. He frames the client as the expert in their own life and looks to build on existing strengths rather than starting from scratch.

Sessions focus on clear, practical conversations about what is happening now and what the client wants to change. He draws on attachment-focused ideas to look at relationship patterns and on client-centred ways of listening so people feel heard. Jungian and psychodynamic ideas may be used to explore deeper themes, while mindfulness tools can help manage sudden stress or strong emotions.

Simon also works with issues connected to addiction, including drug and alcohol problems and process addictions such as gambling or compulsive behaviours. He supports people facing life changes like divorce or feelings linked to abandonment and dependent personality traits.

People who come with questions about life purpose, isolation, guilt or midlife crisis find sessions that mix practical coping skills with exploration of personal meaning. He welcomes English-speaking clients in the UK and also accepts international clients. To begin, follow the platform's Start Therapy steps and schedule a time that suits you.

How Simon's approaches fit online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current difficulties. It helps when people notice repeated relationship problems, fears of abandonment, or trouble trusting others. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being listened to without judgment. This approach helps people gain confidence and clarity by making space to tell their story at their own pace.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Simon treats the choice as a collaboration - he will discuss goals and preferences, try methods that suit the client, and adapt as the work progresses. That helps make sure sessions feel useful rather than one-size-fits-all.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as arranging time around work or family commitments. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed or sessions that do not require being on camera if that helps the client engage. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered and can choose what suits your routine.
