About Me

I’m Simon Riley, a Clay Field Therapist, counsellor, and supervisor based in Liverpool.

My work is grounded in a simple beleif:

people have the capacity to find their own way forward – when given the right conditions.

If you come to see me, you won’t be analysed or pushed to explain yourself.

You’ll be met with a steady, attentive presence.

In Clay Field Therapy®, we work through touch rather than talking.
This allows something deeper to emerge — often before words are available.

I pay close attention to what your body is doing, not just what is being said.
The pace is yours.

There is no pressure to perform, no expectation to “get it right”.

Over time, people often begin to feel:
– more settled in themselves

– more connected to their body

– more able to respond, rather than react

I began my career in person-centred counselling before specialising in Clay Field Therapy.

I completed advanced training with Cornelia Elbrecht and have continued to deepen my practice through work in:

Alongside this, I have worked across therapeutic services, schools, and community settings throughout Liverpool and the North West.

These experiences have reinforced something I see again and again:

when words fall short, the body still knows the way forward.

Working with clay has shown me how much of our experience is held beneath the surface.

You don’t need to have the right words.

You don’t need to know where to start.

You just need to be willing to sit down, place your hands in the clay,
and see what begins.
