Your Online Cognitive Behavioural Therapist  

 

Hi, my name is Simon, and after a long period of agoraphobia resulting from a traumatic period in my life, I made the life-changing decision to train to become a therapist. I first qualified as a clinical hypnotherapist over 20 years ago at St Charles Hospital (London). Then I went on to gain my qualifications in cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and crisis, trauma and PTSD counselling at the highly regarded Centre for Stress Management (London), where I also qualified in critical incident stress debriefing (CISD). In addition to my trauma-based training, I have recently qualified in Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR). I was attached to the Trauma Support Centre as a therapist in Bromley, where the team were on call in the event of a critical incident. This included major incidents such as a train derailment. After working in this environment for several years, I started my own private practice, which is still going strong in 2026. Alongside my private practice, I worked as an NHS cognitive behavioural therapist and counsellor at Hatton Medical Practice, supporting a wide range of issues via GP referral. The presenting problems spanned from treatment for mild depression to overcoming thoughts of suicide. From 2001 to 2011, I was running cognitive behavioural therapy workshops for treatment of anxiety issues, confidence building, assertiveness training, anger management, self-esteem and stop smoking groups based at a mental health centre for adult men and women. I also oversaw an NHS-recommended "Beating the Blues" computerised cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) programme to help in dealing with mild to moderate depression and anxiety at the Centre. Staff worked with therapists, community mental health teams (CMHT), the NHS, and social workers involved in clients' mental health care to ensure a balanced treatment plan was in place. The Centre received an award given by GlaxoSmithKline as a Centre of Excellence. 


My Private Practice

My private practice is based in Egham, Surrey, about a ten-minute drive from the Royal Borough of Windsor in Berkshire. Part of my therapeutic work at present is using my specialist expertise in anxiety disorders to work with clients who have experienced trauma and PTSD symptoms as a result of road traffic collisions / RTC via insurance companies.
