About Simon Knott

Simon Knott is an Accredited Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), the professional body for counsellors in the United Kingdom. He currently offers telephone and video sessions to support people seeking therapeutic help.

Before beginning his counselling training in 2001, he spent more than twenty years working in Human Resources for US companies, where he dealt with many life-event issues affecting employees. That background informs his practical understanding of workplace and personal transitions.

He trained at The Gestalt Centre in London and works from a Gestalt-influenced perspective that emphasises awareness of the whole person - mental, emotional, physical and spiritual - to help identify areas that may benefit from change. He also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques when appropriate to address specific thoughts and behaviours.

Simon aims to offer a warm, flexible approach that clients find ultimately rewarding, combining experiential awareness with targeted therapeutic tools.

Could Remote Therapy Be a Good Fit for You?

Many people ask whether online therapy can truly help. For many common concerns - including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and navigating life changes - online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.

One key advantage is flexibility. Individuals can connect with a therapist in the way that works best for them: via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. That range of options makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule or access support from different locations.

Sessions are provided by licensed professionals and therapists, and if someone feels a different match would be better they can switch to another practitioner. Online therapy can be a practical and effective route to getting consistent support without needing to travel to an office.
