Simon Vizard

Registered Counsellor • MBACP

A calm, confidential space to explore life’s challenges, find clarity, and move forward at your own pace.

Welcome to My Practice

Hi, I’m Simon Vizard

Reaching out for therapy takes genuine courage. Whether you are dealing with anxiety, working through a difficult life transition, navigating grief, or carrying feelings you haven’t been able to share with anyone else, you don’t have to face it on your own.

I am an Integrative Person-Centred Counsellor with over 12 years of clinical experience. I provide a warm, empathetic, and down-to-earth space where I work alongside you as a collaborative partner. My role is not to judge or tell you what to do, but to help you make sense of your experiences, build self-trust, and uncover your own path forward.

My Approach

Core Therapeutic Pillars

What you can count on in every single session:

A Safe, Non-Judgmental Space

You can speak honestly without fear of being criticized, judged, or told how you ‘should’ feel.

At Your Own Pace

You lead the agenda. I support you in exploring what matters most to you, with no pressure or forced directions.

Strict Confidentiality

Everything you share is held in strict professional confidence under the BACP Ethical Framework.

“Just because things have been difficult and painful before doesn’t mean they have to carry on being that way.”

Client Feedback

What Clients Say

“Thank you for your time and commitment to helping not just me, but the many other people you help too. I knew instantly the first meeting we had that I would be able to trust you to listen and not judge. Things are still tough, but you have a remarkable, professional way to listen without judgment.”

Client DListening Without Judgment

“Simon has the right balance between listening and probing for specific information when needed, or explaining why certain things are challenging or difficult. He has helped me see that certain feelings and fears are based on what happened before (i.e. 'then'), and are not based on what is happening in the present time ('now'). Just because things have been difficult and painful before doesn't mean they have to carry on being that way. Simon is a very gentle soul and is very easy to talk to. Compassion and empathy seem to come easily to him.”
