About Simon Knott
Before beginning counselling training in 2001, he spent more than 20 years working in human resources for US companies, where he supported employees through a variety of life-event issues. That workplace experience continues to inform his practical, empathetic approach to therapy.
Simon trained at The Gestalt Centre in London and works from a perspective that encourages awareness across the whole person - mental, emotional, physical and spiritual - to identify areas where meaningful change can occur. He also integrates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques when they suit a client's goals and situation.
Clients can expect a warm and flexible style focused on exploration, increased self-awareness and practical steps toward improvement. Simon aims to create a therapeutic experience that feels rewarding and tailored to each individual's needs.
