Simon Funnell

People navigating anxiety, anger, fractured relationships, or a shaken sense of self often arrive at Simon Funnell’s practice carrying the weight of problems that have quietly touched every part of their lives. Working with teenagers, young adults, men, and women across Surrey, British Columbia — and online — Simon helps clients move from feeling stuck to developing the self-awareness and skills that hold up long after counselling ends.

His approach is built around the individual. Each person’s strengths and struggles shape how sessions unfold, with early work focused on relieving immediate distress while steadily uncovering the roots beneath it. Drawing on CBT, DBT, the Gottman Method, and a humanistic foundation, he brings practical structure to deeply personal work. For clients who find the habit of constant scrolling or screen-checking has quietly crowded out their own thoughts, behavioural tools from his practice offer concrete ways to rebuild space for self-reflection. Christian counselling is available for those who want their faith woven into the process.

Simon’s goal is straightforward: to help people become their own counsellors. Better communication, a steadier sense of self, and the confidence to meet future difficulties — these are the outcomes he works toward with every client.
