      <image:title>CBT Explained - CBT in Bristol, CBT in North Somerset, CBT in South Wales, ADHD Therapist - Understanding CBT - A Guide to Cognitive Behavioural Therapy What is CBT?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a structured, goal-focused form of therapy that explores how our thoughts, feelings and behaviours influence one another, sometimes in ways that hold us back. CBT helps us to recognise and change unhelpful patterns that may contribute to difficulties such as social anxiety, phobias or work stress. Client Testimonial: “CBT with Simon has helped me to reframe my experiences, including those in childhood and adolescence, to be more compassionate to myself. I understand that I did not, and do not, experience those things because I am "bad". I understand that I am trying my best, and to treat myself with greater respect.” UN (former client)</image:caption>

      <image:title>CBT Explained - CBT in Bristol, CBT in North Somerset, CBT in South Wales, ADHD Therapist - What can CBT help with?</image:title>
      <image:caption>CBT helps us to look objectively at the way we think and behave and supports us to change any negative thinking or behavioural patterns, where appropriate. Many people find these changes bring them a new experience of emotional freedom from the problems that have been bothering them. CBT is recommended by the NHS for a wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties, including: Anxiety Panic Attacks Depression Low Self-Esteem Health Anxiety PTSD and Trauma Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) Stress Sleep problems (insomnia) In the UK, the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) recommends CBT as an effective form of therapy for use within the NHS and by therapists trained in its safe delivery. Find out more by clicking the link, which will direct you to a NICE guidance page illustrating treatment pathways for common mental health conditions. I am highly experienced at adapting CBT to make it fully accessible for those with ADHD or autism.</image:caption>

      <image:title>CBT Explained - CBT in Bristol, CBT in North Somerset, CBT in South Wales, ADHD Therapist - How does CBT work? CBT focuses on the link between our thoughts, feelings, and actions. In therapy, we work together to: Identify unhelpful thought patterns Understand how these thoughts affect feelings and influence behaviour Develop new, more balanced ways of thinking Learn practical coping skills to manage our symptoms Does CBT work for everyone?</image:title>
      <image:caption>The honest answer is no! CBT can be very effective but we are all individuals and no single therapy suits everyone. Alongside CBT, I am trained in Person-Centred Counselling and can draw on different approaches to suit your needs. We can discuss what feels right for you before deciding how to work together.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Services - ADHD Therapist Bristol, Couples Counselling Bristol, CBT Therapist Bristol, CBT for ADHD - Cognitive Behavioural Therapy</image:title>
      <image:caption>As a university-trained Cognitive Behavioural Therapist, I help people work through a range of psychological difficulties. Some of the problems I regularly support include: ADHD (CBT can be modified, if needed, to make it more accessible) Anxiety Autism (CBT can easily be adapted if required) Depression Health Anxiety Insomnia Loss and Bereavement Low Self-Esteem Phobias Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Social Anxiety (Fear of social situations) Trauma and Abuse Workplace Issues and Stress I adapt CBT interventions to help make them more accessible for neurodivergent people, including those with ADHD or autism, and have additional training as a Certified ADHD Clinical Services Provider. I also regularly support Armed Forces personnel and veterans, people affected by pregnancy or infant loss, and those exploring faith, spirituality or spiritual abuse concerns. “Simon has a warm and non-judgmental approach to CBT and always demonstrates patience and compassion throughout the journey. I have been amazed by how far I have come with his support.” CD “CBT completely changed my relationship with the fear of vomit [Emetophobia]. I guess the whole thing was a bit like rewiring my brain, and I really didn’t expect it to work! But it did. We did a range of activities, none of which I expected to enjoy – but Simon helped me understand it as a process. Simon was kind and thoughtful, he found ways to relate to me and I never felt judged.” OD</image:caption>

I support individuals and couples with: Marriage Preparation Relationship Difficulties Renewing Commitment Parenting (including training in Conscious Parenting skills) Bereavement and Grief Post-Suicide Loss I completed my training as a Relationship and Couples Therapist with Relate, the UK’s largest provider of couples therapy. I am used to supporting neurodiverse couples, e.g. where one or both partners is diagnosed with ADHD or autism. I have completed specialist Accredited Practitioner training in ‘Pregnancy and Infant Loss’ and ‘Subsequent Pregnancies after Loss’ with the Foundation for Infant Loss. “Simon has helped me to delve into my past, enabling me to understand current behaviours, habits, feelings, insecurities and to develop processes to soothe, resolve or live with these in the present day. This has resulted in me learning to understand and communicate with my wife, both to meet my needs but also appreciate her perspective and what she may be feeling.” SI “I am much more confident in my ability as a parent and I’m enjoying spending time - much more than previously - with my child; my relationship with my husband has improved - both as a result of the depression and anxiety going but also because therapy has helped me explore where the issues with these relationships really lay and helped me find ways to manage difficulties.” LI</image:caption>

      <image:title>Services - ADHD Therapist Bristol, Couples Counselling Bristol, CBT Therapist Bristol, CBT for ADHD - Outdoor ‘Walk and Talk’ Therapy in Bristol and North Somerset</image:title>
      <image:caption>I am trained in outdoor Walk and Talk counselling - ideal for people who enjoy being outside or find a counselling room restrictive. Some people with ADHD find talking while moving particularly helpful. We begin indoors with an assessment. Sessions may then use woodland, lakeside or coastal routes in Bristol and North Somerset, with options for most fitness levels. Outdoor counselling is not suitable for everyone; we will discuss whether it is right for you. “Simon offers a caring and positive approach to counselling. His ability to listen, understand the heart of what I said and then carefully re-articulate my words was really appreciated. His forward-thinking manner offered hope and helpful practical steps forward.” BT</image:caption>

      <image:title>Services - ADHD Therapist Bristol, Couples Counselling Bristol, CBT Therapist Bristol, CBT for ADHD - Coaching for Adults, Parents and Young People</image:title>
      <image:caption>I am trained and insured to deliver ADHD, stress management, health and wellbeing, and Conscious Parenting coaching. Coaching can help us to understand behavioural patterns, identify practical strategies for change and reach our goals. I teach Conscious Parenting strategies to support parents of children and teenagers with ADHD, autism or emotional regulation difficulties. Eight years of school pastoral management and teaching experience informs my work with young people, helping them develop practical tools to manage stress, build resilience and increase physical and emotional wellbeing. For adults, coaching can focus on managing ADHD related challenges, developing fitness, changing unhealthy habits and building routines that support physical and mental health. Coaching differs from counselling, but both depend on a warm, supportive relationship. Please get in touch to discuss your needs. “I used Simon for ADHD Strategy coaching, and it was a great experience. His approach is very flexible, and when I needed it the sessions were more like therapy. I learnt a lot about tools I could use to develop my positive core beliefs and stop being critical of myself, as this wasn't working in my best interests. Simon is very empathic and good at listening and understanding.” JC “Simon has been extremely helpful and professional, helping me to feel at ease, encouraging me to open up about my fears and anxiety and enabling me to face my anxiety and explore my thoughts around panic. He was recommended to me by a colleague and exceeded all my expectations.” LT</image:caption>

      <image:caption>My Diploma in Online Counselling, accredited by the Association for Counselling and Therapy Online (ACTO), supports my work through secure video, phone, email and web chat. Online counselling removes travel time and can help if mobility difficulties or anxiety make attending in person harder. Email and web chat may suit those who prefer communicating in writing or are seeking greater anonymity. We assess whether online therapy is suitable before starting and will discuss alternatives where indicated. Contact me by phone, email or the enquiry form to find out more. “I didnt know what to expect as I hadn’t really had counselling / coaching before but Simon took the time to listen to me and made me feel really relaxed. The space we were talking in was a safe space where I could be open and honest. During our 4 sessions together, Simon provided me with lots of new and different ways of thinking about dealing with situations that I may find myself in. I really enjoyed our sessions and can’t thank Simon enough.” GS</image:caption>

He was excellent in creating a positive environment and the delivery of the course content - both pace and detail - with plenty of time to ask questions, seek clarification, allowing the group to have breakout discussions around subject matter - and well judged tea breaks to allow us to decompress and process. Clearly and vastly experienced in this area of work.” EB</image:caption>

      <image:title>Services - ADHD Therapist Bristol, Couples Counselling Bristol, CBT Therapist Bristol, CBT for ADHD - Support and Training for Organisations and Groups</image:title>
      <image:caption>Staff Training and CPD: I provide tailored mental health training for companies, HR staff, schools, universities and the Armed Forces. Topics include stress management, mental health awareness and supporting employees who self-harm or experience suicidal thoughts. Suicide Prevention and Postvention Advisor: I help organisations develop or update prevention and postvention policies. I also advise HR teams online or on site and provide workplace support following an employee death. Pilot Support Programmes and Aviation Safety: Since 2022, all UK registered air operating companies have been required to provide their flight crews with access to an appropriately qualified support service. I offer a low cost Pilot Support Programme which can be accessed by aviation professionals from anywhere in the world - over the phone, online or face to face, if and when confidential support is required. In response to lessons learnt from the 2015 Germanwings Flight 9525 incident, the CAA released the following rationale for implementing a high quality support programme:  Life events and psychological stressors can affect anyone and pilots are not immune from mental ill-health that affects a significant proportion of the general population. It is essential that pilots have an easily accessible route for seeking assistance when under pressure or when symptoms of ill-health first present so that they can be supported or referred for treatment without fear of reprisal. A known and trusted pilot support system will maximise the opportunity for the pilot to complete a fulfilling career without mishap or a prolonged period away from flying and for the operator to maintain a safe operation. (CAA IN-2017/005) I am a member of the Flight Safety Foundation - an international organisation dedicated to influencing and leading global aviation safety. I have many years of professional aviation experience and supporting the pastoral and emotional care of aircrew and ground support teams. I currently provide Pilot Support Programmes to multiple UK air operating companies. If you are considering options for your organisation, please contact me. Mental Health Training: I deliver interactive, accessible training tailored to your organisation. Participants have described feeling more confident initiating conversations about mental health and using strategies taught with their colleagues. Please get in touch to discuss training or a support programme for your team.</image:caption>
