About
Simon Barkley is a licensed therapist based in the United Kingdom with a BA in Integrative Counselling and an MSc in Psychology. He blends cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), humanistic principles and a range of evidence-based techniques in a pluralistic way to help people move through and beyond their current problems.
Across eight years of practice, Simon has supported clients with addiction issues, anger, bereavement, motivation and self-esteem difficulties, trauma processing, and the development of psychological growth strategies to improve relationships with self, others and the wider world.
He works from the belief that each person is the expert of their own story and that existing strengths are central to overcoming challenges. His role is to identify those strengths, help uncover blind spots, address psychological distress, offer empathy and support, and to walk with clients unconditionally toward a happier, more productive life.
Simon regards therapy as life-changing and aims to help clients achieve their therapy goals. He looks forward to meeting you soon.

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?
Many people wonder whether virtual therapy can truly make a difference. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions. A major benefit is the flexibility it offers. You can connect with a therapist in the way that suits you best - via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. That flexibility often makes it easier to fit support into a busy schedule. Licensed professionals deliver online therapy, and if you decide a different therapist would be a better fit, you can switch at any time. For many people, this combination of effectiveness and convenience makes online therapy a practical option for addressing everyday mental health and life challenges.How much experience does Simon Barkley have?
