Meet Simon

Hi, my name is Simon. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile.

​

You may be here because something feels heavy, uncertain, or strained — and you’re wondering whether counselling could help. You might also be wondering, Can I trust someone I’ve never met with what matters most to me? That’s a very valid question.

​

Whether you are new to counselling or have had previous experiences (positive or otherwise), I believe the foundation of good therapy is trust. My aim is to create a safe, respectful and professional space where you can thoughtfully unpack your experiences, relationships, emotions and faith — without pressure or judgement.

​

I bring over twenty years of experience across pastoral and professional counselling contexts. As a former ordained pastor, I understand both the spiritual and relational dimensions of life’s challenges. I combine the compassion of pastoral care with the clinical integrity and structure of professional counselling, always keeping a person-first approach at the centre of my work.

​

I support:

• Individuals

• Couples (I particularly enjoy working with couples)

• Families

• Teenagers through to mature age adults
   

My areas of focus include:

• Relationship challenges

• Marriage counselling

• Grief and loss

• Anxiety

• Depression

• Post-separation support

• Parenting guidance

• Men’s specific counselling

• Pastoral care and support

• Faith-based counselling from a Christian perspective
   

I am deeply passionate about supporting Christians in their faith journey and serving the Christian community through counselling. At the same time, I welcome anyone seeking thoughtful, values-informed support.
 

I hold a degree in Social Science (majoring in Counselling), engage in regular professional supervision, and am a Level 4 member of the Australian Counselling Association as well as a member of Christian Counsellors Association of Australia.
 

I currently offer online counselling appointments.
 

If you’ve read this far, thank you. Taking the first step can feel significant. If you sense I may be the right fit for you, I would be honoured to walk alongside you — even if it’s simply one session to explore whether this feels like a good place to begin.
