Christian Family Recovery

Personal support

Book a personal session with Pastor Simon

Sometimes you don't need another resource. You need thirty quiet minutes with someone who has been where you are and will not flinch at anything you say. These sessions are for the person in recovery, for the spouse or parent carrying it, and for anyone who simply wants to talk it through with a pastor who understands.

Please note: sessions are entirely optional — every course stands complete on its own — and places are very limited, because Pastor Simon takes each one personally and his own time is limited — so sessions are offered as he is able, not on demand. Sessions are held in English only. If you come as a couple, Pastor Simon may suggest individual sessions alongside the shared ones, where that would help.

Pastor Simon

What to expect

An unhurried conversation. You set the agenda — a decision, a relapse, a marriage, a church situation, or where to start. I listen first, then we talk honestly about the next step.

30 minutes, on your terms

Each session is 30 minutes, on weekdays between 10am–2pm or 6pm–9pm UK time (GMT/BST) — shown in your own time below. Pick times that suit you; I confirm one by email within a day or two. Sessions are used within 60 days of purchase.

Zoom or audio call, in English

Choose video on Zoom or a simple audio call — whichever you are more comfortable with. Sessions are in English only. You can change your mind when we book the time.

Safeguarding and Confidentiality agreement

A short, plain-language agreement so none of your session time is spent on it. In brief: sessions are confidential except where there is a risk of serious harm or the law requires sharing; they are personal support, not therapy, medical advice or crisis care; they are not recorded unless you separately agree; and you remain responsible for your own wellbeing.

After payment I'll email you to arrange a time. Sessions are used within 60 days.
