Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Find relief from anxiety, depression, phobias, trauma, and manage your ADHD symptoms.

CBT is a highly effective, evidence-based therapy helpful for a wide range of issues.

At Avon CBT, I help individuals overcome anxiety, depression, panic attacks, low self-esteem, trauma, and other challenges, providing them with practical tools and interventions in a structured, supportive environment.

Together, we can work towards understanding your patterns of thinking and behaviour and building healthy and positive ways of coping.

Couples Counselling
Strengthen your relationship with professional support.

Every relationship faces challenges, and sometimes expert support can make all the difference.

I provide couples counselling to help partners improve communication, rebuild trust, manage conflict, and strengthen emotional connection. I specialise in helping couples where one or both partners have ADHD or autism or need help navigating the challenges of parenting neurodiverse children.

I work with couples at all stages — whether you’re facing a specific difficulty or simply want to build a stronger foundation at the start of your relationship.

I understand how daunting it can feel when seeking counselling support, and the importance of knowing that you have found the right therapist to work with. I founded Avon CBT & Psychotherapy on the values of integrity and compassion and my priority is to provide a safe, warm and non-judgemental space to calmly work through the difficulties affecting your life or relationships.

I provide individual and couples therapy to people around the world, and can accommodate the needs of family life, business travel, work shift patterns and armed forces deployments.

For an informal conversation to see if I can help you and answer any questions that you have, please contact me to request a free 15 minute consultation.

“Simon provided an environment where I could gradually feel safer to express all my emotions and talk about incredibly difficult and painful things, and then come to the realisation that I could and needed to be able to do this. His warmth, kindness, empathy and non-judgemental approach gave me the conditions I needed to be able to explore so many areas of my life and go to depths I wasn’t expecting to when I began therapy.”   (LI - Previous Client)
