Your Therapist

Hi my name is Simon and I first qualified as a Clinical Hypnotherapist 15 years ago at St Charles Hospital (London) . I then went on to gain my qualifications in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT),  Crisis, Trauma, and PTSD Counselling at the highly regarded Centre for Stress Management (London) where I also qualified in Critical Incident Stress Debriefing (CISD). I was attached to the Trauma Support Centre in Bromley where the team were on call in the event of a critical incident. This would involve major incidents such as a train derailment. After working in this environment for a number of years I started my own private practice. In conjunction with my private practice I worked as an NHS Counsellor at Hatton Medical Practice dealing with a wide range of issues. The presenting problems spanned from mild depression to thoughts of suicide. I am currently (2010) running Workshops on Confidence Building, Assertiveness Training, Anger Management, Self Esteem and Stop Smoking Groups based at a Mental Health Day Centre in Hounslow (West London). I also oversee an NHS recommended "Beating the Blues" computerised CBT programme designed to help with mild to moderate depression and anxiety at the Centre. The staff work with the Community Mental Health Teams and Social Workers involved in the clients mental health care to ensure a balanced treatment plan is put in place. The Centre received an award given by GlaxoSmithKline as a Centre of Excellence. My private practices are based at the Centre and also Egham High Street.
