Psychotherapy, Counselling Psychology

SIMON

Simon has developed a unique way of working, drawing on Jungian concepts, mysticism and archetypal psychology to help return clients to their essence and deep soul, after experiencing its absence at both personal and professional levels after spending eight years working at The Priory, Roehampton. Here he specialised in the treatment of sex and love addiction, helping clients find antidotes to their dis-ease through rediscovering their own innate creativity and spirituality.

After an integrative post-graduate counselling training in the early 1990s, Simon trained at Broadway Lodge (Britain's first specialist addiction treatment centre). Earlier, he had spent three years training in Deep Memory Process, founded by Dr Roger Woolger, exploring the impact of past lives on the psyche. He pursued his interest in other lifetimes through soul-based astrology, now incorporated into this process. In the 1990s, he was one of the founding members of the men’s movement in the UK and had the privilege of learning from leaders in the field, including Robert Bly, Richard Olivier and the African chief Malidome Some.

PSYCHOTHERAPY Simon works with deep enquiry into the mind to explore blockages and resistances which may go back to childhood and beyond. Many clients begin therapy as a response to stuck-ness, sometimes a sense of being lost and, almost always, confusion. True commitment is required but earnest clients will experience a sense of freedom, relief and personal understanding they have not felt before. Symptoms that appear as, for instance, depression may in fact be a spiritual crisis and a search for meaning, often at mid-life, when people experience the need for re-orientation and a new map for living. Psychotherapy holds great potential for both growth and personal development as well as providing greater insight as to individual purpose, taking clients into deeper areas of the mind, into the forgotten past, where many of life’s answers lie.
