Before founding Root Therapy, Simon spent over three decades running a successful business, during which he became fascinated by human behaviour and the mind’s response to stress, trauma, and anxiety. This curiosity motivated him to pursue therapy as a profession, with a particular interest in why some people cope effortlessly while others struggle under pressure.

Services

Root Therapy offers a unique therapeutic approach known as ROOT, developed by Simon himself. This method has gained recognition and accreditation across the UK and beyond, with positive outcomes for clients who seek meaningful, lasting change. The ROOT approach combines clinical hypnotherapy, neuro-linguistic programming (NLP), and EMDR therapy, providing an integrated and flexible treatment framework tailored to each individual.

Simon has a particular interest in trauma therapy, shaped by his personal experience serving with the British Army during the Gulf War in 1991. He has since specialised in supporting ex-servicemen and women as they work through trauma and its emotional aftermath. Additionally, he offers sensitive support for individuals dealing with grief and loss, recognising the complex feelings that accompany these experiences.

Whether clients seek help with anxiety, stress, trauma, or personal development, Root Therapy provides a compassionate and professional environment to explore and resolve difficulties, enabling clients to move forward confidently.
