Simon - Psychotherapist & Counsellor

Simon integrates the soul into modern therapy after experiencing its absence at both personal and professional levels. After spending eight years at The Priory, Roehampton, specialising 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). He spent five years as psychotherapist with the award-winning Arrigo Programme, latterly as Senior Practitioner. Earlier, he had spent three years training in Deep Memory Process, exploring the impact of past lives on the psyche, although its founder Dr Roger Woolger died before Simon finished his training. He pursued his interest in other lifetimes through using a soul-based astrology, now incorporated into this process. Simon is a Visiting Practitioner at Kamalaya Koh Samui.

Simon has developed a unique way of working, drawing on Jungian concepts, mysticism and archetypal psychology to help return clients to their essence or deep soul. 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´. An understanding of mythology and the hero’s journey is integral to this work. He is an initiated man with The Mankind Project and has been in personal recovery for more than 30 years
