Simon Fliegner
Simon is a Gestalt Psychotherapist working with individuals, couples, and groups.
From Simon:
In my experience therapy offers valuable space to focus on your own needs with a trained professional; where you can take time to more fully understand yourself, your relationships, and life as a whole.
Starting therapy can be daunting, so I take care to build an empathic and confidential space where you can feel safe enough to explore whatever situation you are in, including difficult and possibly painful feelings relating to it.
I work colaboratively, with a focus on present experiencing, to develop awareness of feelings, thoughts, behaviours and communication. This awareness can bring fresh perspectives on your past; shed light on current difficulties; and make way for new possibilities and meaningful change.
I welcome clients facing experiences of anxiety, depression, low self esteem, loss and grief, identity and difference, relationship and intimacy difficulties, trauma, addiction, family difficulties, and transcultural experiences.
My couples and relationship work includes adults in all kinds of relationships, including family, friends, and alternative relationships.
My gestalt approach is informed by research in areas such as neuroscience, attachment, trauma and mindfulness.
Before training as a psychotherapist I worked in the arts for two decades, experiencing the complexies of creative processes and relationships in a professional context, both in commercial and not-for-profit organisations.
I am an accredited and registered member of the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP). My commitment to ethical practice is in accordance with the UKCP Code of Ethics and Professional Practice. This includes undertaking ongoing professional development through regular consultation with other practitioners, training, and study.
