Simon Petters

Simon Petters is a counsellor who helps people feeling isolated, anxious or stuck. He focuses on everyday struggles like stress, low mood, addiction and worries about self-worth. He presents a calm, straightforward approach for anyone who wants practical support to make small changes.

Simon believes people know their own story and brings a respectful, listening style to sessions. He aims to help clients notice strengths and use them to tackle difficult moments. Sessions are offered in English and he works with people from the United Kingdom and internationally.

With six years of professional experience Simon has supported people through trauma, abuse and addiction, as well as through life transitions such as separation. He also helps with problems linked to attachment, feelings of emptiness, guilt and shame, and issues like jealousy and codependency. His work includes support for process addictions and substance concerns.

Simon draws on several therapy approaches to shape his work depending on what each person needs. He uses client-centred listening, attachment-based ideas about relationships, and psychodynamic and Jungian ways of looking at patterns that repeat in life. Mindfulness practices are also brought in to help with stress and grounding.

He describes the therapeutic process as a partnership where practical steps are tried and reviewed. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

Approaches and what online counselling can offer

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns shape how people connect and feel alone; it can help with fears around abandonment, trust and recurring relationship issues. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what someone says, giving space for them to find their own solutions and build confidence through the conversation. Mindfulness practices teach simple attention and grounding exercises to reduce stress and manage difficult emotions in everyday moments.

Finding the right approach is often part of the therapy journey. The therapist will work collaboratively to try different ways of working and adjust methods according to the client's goals and preferences. That means practical steps and techniques are tested, reviewed and adapted together over time.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins at a convenient hour, or making it simpler to join from a quieter space. Registered or accredited professionals can still use the same conversational and reflective approaches online as they would in person, helping people work through issues like isolation, anxiety and addiction without needing to rearrange a whole day.
