About Simon

Simon Favilli works with practical, evidence-based approaches to help people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, grief and depression. He has 14 years of experience supporting people through difficult feelings and life changes. Simon is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and offers sessions in English across the United Kingdom.

He focuses on keeping conversations straightforward and respectful. Sessions are shaped around what each person needs, with space to talk about how problems started and what makes them worse now.

Background and approach

The aim is to find small, useful changes that add up to real difference in daily life. Simon has helped people manage compulsive behaviours, substance and alcohol issues, and the emotional aftermath of abuse or loss. He also supports those dealing with relationship wounds such as abandonment, attachment concerns and codependency.

Work can include practical coping skills, exploring patterns, and building healthier routines. Therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Costs vary with location and the subscription model used, which can be cancelled at any time.

Sessions are arranged after a short matching questionnaire and scheduling according to availability. People who choose to start are guided step by step. Simon aims to make it easier to talk about hard things and to help people feel more able to manage daily pressures and make lasting changes.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Simon uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on real problems and practical change. One common approach is short-term, problem-focused work that teaches coping skills and helps reduce anxiety and distress through clear steps and exercises. This is useful for stress, panic and everyday worry.

Another approach looks at patterns that keep problems going, such as attachment wounds, codependent behaviour or repeated impulses. Sessions explore these patterns and build new ways of relating and responding, which can help with addictions, relationship difficulties and compulsive thoughts.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and try methods that match a person’s goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and plans are adjusted as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is close to an in-person feel, phone calls can suit people with lower bandwidth, and chat or messaging can be helpful for quick check-ins or when writing feels easier. These options give flexibility for fitting therapy around work, family and daily life.
