My practice is guided by 25 years of helping people in difficult and often stressful situations. I have worked operationally in the Armed Forces as a Commissioned Military Chaplain; NHS Emergency and Critical Care as a Registered Nurse; the Police; and the RNLI; as well as teaching in schools and a university.
My therapeutic approach is neurodiversity-affirming and trauma-informed. I work with people from all walks of life, using evidence-based CBT and couples counselling strategies, tailored to their unique mental health, relationships and experiences of ADHD or autism.
Client Testimonial:
“Thank you so much for your time and energy. You have been entirely compassionate, non-judgemental and supportive. I never felt worried about what I was "bringing" to sessions and I don't think anyone else in my life has ever had such an impact in reducing my sense of shame, both in the moment (i.e. during sessions, when talking about difficult things) or overall.”

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
I offer evidence-based CBT in Bristol, North Somerset and online to help overcome symptoms of anxiety, depression, phobias, panic attacks, low self-esteem, trauma and ADHD related difficulties. Together, we explore patterns of thinking and behaviour and develop practical tools and interventions to build healthy ways of coping in a structured, supportive setting.
Client Testimonial:
“After therapy, I'm definitely seeing things from a different angle, which makes more sense to me now.” JD (former client)
Couples Counselling
I offer couples counselling in Bristol, North Somerset and online, supporting couples to improve their communication, rebuild trust, manage conflict and strengthen emotional connection at any stage of a relationship. I specialise in supporting couples where one or both partners have ADHD or autism, and supporting parents with neurodivergent children.
ADHD Support (ADHD Therapy and ADHD Coaching)
I provide specialist ADHD symptom management support, offering ADHD therapy, including CBT for ADHD, and ADHD Coaching in Bristol and online.
My practical, structured support is tailored to the specific needs of each individual, couple or parent I work with, who is impacted by ADHD or autism, helping them with day to day and relationship challenges.
Finding the right therapist can feel daunting. 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 work through difficulties impacting your life or relationships.
I offer individual and couples therapy in Bristol, North Somerset and online worldwide, with flexibility around family life, travel, work patterns and Armed Forces deployments.

“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 (former client)
