Simon is a mature provisional psychologist who is deeply committed to supporting young people, adults, and families with warmth, care, and respect. He has extensive experience working alongside individuals with complex mental health needs across school, community, and clinical settings, and is passionate about helping people feel understood, supported, and capable of meaningful change.
Through his work in the Mental Health in Primary Schools initiative, Simon partnered closely with school communities to strengthen their confidence in responding to student wellbeing and family needs.

He values the power of genuine connection in therapy and aims to create a calm, collaborative space where clients feel safe to explore their experiences, build insight, and develop practical strategies that support lasting change. His work is strengths-based, compassionate, and grounded in the belief that people grow best when they feel truly heard.
