Simon Tilbury
I am a psychodynamic psychotherapeutic counsellor offering both short-term and long-term therapy. I am warm, supportive, & non-judgemental. With me you can explore your experiences in a safe, welcoming environment. I want you to relax and feel like you can say anything you need to without fear or shame.
You may be facing a particular challenge or you may feel weighed down and generally low, feeling that life isn’t as hopeful or as happy as you thought it would be. Therapy can help you discover a way forward – we are all capable of finding new freedom and new possibilities, no matter what our past looked like or how we feel now.
My psychodynamic approach can help you identify patterns of thought and feeling that keep you ‘stuck’. Most of us are living in a story of ourselves that wasn’t created by us and is hard to understand while we are in it. Together, we will build an understanding of your inner world, noticing why you might feel, think, & do what you do. With this deeper understanding will come space to notice, acknowledge, & grieve the things you haven’t felt able to in the past. With a greater understanding of the way you experience the world, & of the origins and influences that came together to create the unique person that you are, you will be able to find new ways to be. Leaving you with a greater sense of self-awareness and the freedom to live life more authentically. This freedom will empower you to make new choices, find new strength, and to reach for those goals you might have thought were out of reach before.
I offer therapy for: depression, low mood, anxiety, relationship difficulties, chronic health conditions, neurodivergence (autism, ADHD, dyslexia, OCD), sexuality & identity, & others (pls ask). I am neuro-divergent friendly, LGBTQI+ and trans affirming, I offer a safe space for all humans.
Online and/or telephone appointments are available.
