“I first came to see Simon as I was in need of professional help. I was in active addiction and suffering from Complex trauma and just didn’t know how to cope with life. I tried everything from self-help right through to closing my eyes and wishing my pain away. Nothing worked and I was considering giving up on myself.
When I came to see Simon, he was attentive and understood exactly what was going on for me internally and he counselled me slowly back to life. Now I’m a lot happier and I’m engaged to be married and I’ve got a job that I enjoy. I couldn’t recommend Simon enough. He did more for me in a short space of time than what I could do in my 42 years of existence.”
''I came to Simon as a broken alcoholic, who through 14 years of addiction had come to completely lose hope. As my counsellor during my time in rehabilitation, I always felt like he truly cared about me getting better and what I had to say.
The fact he's been through a lot himself really helped me relate to him, something I don't always find easy. His warmth and insight helped me learn that I was worth something and that there was hope for me yet. Three and a half years later without a drink, with a steady job and an amazing relationship with my daughter, I can't thank him enough.''
“My name is Jordan, I came into rehab seriously broken with things I have never spoken, like my upbringing or the death of my son, never loving myself and always self-critical, then I remember starting my counselling with Simon, which at first for me was terrifying, but he was so warm and welcoming, he has helped me massively and changed my life.
My son died 4 years ago and I could never speak about that as I was afraid I would seem weak and less manly, but he helped me so much, now I can sit there and talk about the death of my child and be okay with how I feel, even if I cry I can finally sit with my emotions, I love my self for once in my 28 years of living, I used to have a fear of failure, fear of being a bad father or husband, but now that isn’t the case, I may fail.
At something but that doesn't stop me now, I'm not afraid to go for it and if I fail I can get back up and try again. This is thanks to the help of Simon for just being real and making me feel comfortable, he has helped me change my life forever.”
"Simon has the utmost care for his clients, putting their wellbeing at the heart of everything he does. Through working together in a residential rehab, I have witnessed many of his clients transform and thrive in their lives. Simon particularly excels in building relationships with his clients and helping them explore and make sense of their pain and concerns.
