What: It’s about waking up to truth beyond perception
Structural Consulting is not therapy. It is an exploration of the underlying structures in your life that produce your predictable patterns of behavior. Behaviours, personal and organizational issues are never situational, but always related to the underlying structure. The underlying structure gives rise to patterns, which give rise to situations.
Everything is structural. Structure is a combination of elements that impact each other. In Structural Consulting sessions, your structures will be a combination of what you want to create, how reality actually is, and the various concepts that you have. The concepts you have are usually hidden from yourself. But these concepts have an impact in influencing your life patterns.
Change always happens only at the level of the underlying structure.
And that change of structure will cause a change of your patterns.
For whom: Creators & Truth seekers
For everybody who wants to live in reality. There are no preconditions for a sessions other than having a situation or obstacle you would like to have more clarity about. No further context is required, however if you are interested you can find more context below.
How: Does Structural Consulting work?
A conversation over 1-2 hours.
(Follow-up conversations may occur, but are the exception.)

“The session brought clarity and opened my heart and blew my mind”
I had a powerful Structural Consult with Simon. I was blown away, as were my underlying assumptions, conditions and other made-up stuff under which I’ve been operating- as if they were ‘gospel’. The session brought clarity and opened my heart and blew my mind. It was a simple process in a way, but don’t confuse that with easy! A lot of tension for me! Simon challenged so many of my default constructs which have kept me unconsciously in negative vision. The time flew and I’m so very grateful for the focus and clarity of Simon’s intervention. Service at the highest level. Thank you!
“It helped me to [] start doing things [] I feel unstuck and creating”
It helped me to actually move on and start doing things instead waiting when I will be ready with my website, and other stuff. So I feel unstuck and creating.
“The session really helped me take out the meaning of people’s actions and focus on what I really wanted”
One of the main things that the session helped me with was decreasing the ‘bad-othering’ I was doing. During the session I realized how many subconscious contracts I was making with others in my head, thinking that in order for them to be a good friend/partner/person, they would show up in a certain way. The main theme that came out of the session was allowing myself to want what I want and others to want what they want. While I don’t always practice this, it does help me empathize and allow the other person to have conflicting desires without thinking that they are ‘bad’ because of it. I had a few conflicts with friends where I really wanted to have a discussion with them about what had happened and they did not want to have those conversations. I really wrestled with my feelings, either that I was bad for wanting to bring up past baggage, or they were bad for not wanting to go there with me. However, now I realized that I do really want friendships who can openly talk through conflicts – but I also understand the perspective of wanting friendships who don’t bring up the past and focus on the present. People have a lot of conflicting priorities in their lives and my priority of resolving past conflict is not better than someone’s priority of wanting to have light and easy interactions that don’t delve into conflict. It can still really hurt to go for something and be rejected, but bad othering makes me displace those feelings of hurt by blaming others rather than processing my own feelings and eventually moving on.
The session really helped me take out the meaning of people’s actions and focus on what I really wanted. It made me focus more on finding the match in my life – rather than forcing a spark between two conflicting desires.
“[Simons] ability to facilitate a community of people into a common vision was nothing short of miraculous. “
Our organziation is new and we are working with indigenous communities in remote Amazon who requested our partnership in helping create an indigenous led school system that honors their culture. Simon flew into the territory with an interpreter and under his leadership and facilitation the inidgenous were able to clarify their vision into a successful plan of action. This was no small feat as there were 3 languages engaged in the conversation. His ability to facilitate a community of people into a common vision was nothing short of miraculous. What is being created out of that experience is a game changer for the amazon rainforest and the people that live there.
“There is clarity for us a group which frees us up to be able grow into our vision”
Our non profit is new and we needed help with alignment of vision and mission, and direction of action. Alignment with our clients, each other and our donors is the magic of creating a powerful and effective non profit organization. There is clarity for us a group which frees us up to be able grow into our vision. Without this process, it would have been very frustrating four our board members, staff, clients and donors.
“A game changer for me. It wasn’t like any other coaching I’ve experienced”
The two hour session I had with Simon was a game changer for me. It wasn’t like any other coaching I’ve experienced. I kept waiting for him to take me through a process. Instead, he kept asking me questions so that we both got more and more clear about what I want and my experience of what is actually going on within me and in my life. I found being questionioned uncomfortable because I could hear as I answered his questions how confused and conflicted I was. I began to feel silly but Simon never made me feel bad. In fact quite the opposite; because he kept delving to ascertain the structure, I felt really grateful for his focus and time. It felt like we were unravelling a ball with many pieces of string and as we did a picture began to emerge which made sense to me and explained many things. So I feel freer to be me and everyone else is free to be themselves. Thank you so much.
“The power of [] acknowledging the truth from that session is still having ripple effects for me”
I had a structural consultation session with Simon in January this year and the power of knowing and acknowledging the truth from that session is still having ripple effects for me. Simon created such a supportive and non-judgemental space for my truth to arise and the easeful way he asked questions and clarified what I was replying with really allowed me to open and acknowledge an aspect of my own consciousness that I had completely made up and that had been holding me back since childhood.
Without going into details of it all, this session allowed me to see that I had created a very limited and constricted approach to relationships, which was affecting my business and my personal life. Through this session, Simon guided me to the realisation that though the situations I was speaking about did actually happen, what I had made them mean about me and others had no basis in reality. I was guided back to the truth that I am free to be me and that others are free to be them. The structure I was living in and defining my life by has no basis in reality. And now this structure is crumbling as I redefine relationships and my relationship to them.
Thank you Simon for such a transformative session, I didn’t know on the day the ripples it would have… and it has taken some time for me to see how things are moving. I am so grateful that you are sharing this work with the world.
“Awareness of the underlying belief that drives my actions and outcomes”
As I was describing what I perceived to be a problem to Simon, he was able to hone in […] and went deeper. He […] got me to reflect on how I saw myself. My takeaway from this session is the awareness of the underlying belief that drives my actions and outcomes.
“A great relief for me; it was like I got rid of a big pressure of my shoulders”
You had been so patient with me […] and […] made me realize the point I was and decide my choice. My take away after our session is: I am not obliged to use my potential, it is a free every day choice. And this was a great relief for me; it was like I got rid of a big pressure of my shoulders. It is a reference point for me for now on ringing in my head: I am not obliged to use my gifts, it is a free choice. The next question for me is: Do I feel obliged to do this? and this is a relief for me. This dosen’t mean I am not doing anything, but it changes my perspective.
“This is a huge advancement for me [] a very empowering session”
I found it a very empowering session and the way you patiently went through the many layers of my issue, never making suggestions, judging it or trying to fix it but instead just summarising my process and feeding that back to me, bit by bit, enabled me to join the dots. When you were testing me by reminding me of my free choice I hadn’t crossed the belief liberation bridge, but with more summaries eventually I did and couldn’t believe what I’d unconsciously been buying into. At the end when you explained how I’d been oscillating that too made so much sense and it felt so good to let go of a hindrance that was leaving me very vulnerable to narcissists. In fact, I’d go as far as to say, it had had me attracting them! This is a huge advancement for me – progress towards an important choice I’ve been making. Thanks a million Simon
“Realisation that when the unconscious becomes conscious, it loses its “effect”.”
We uncovered the conscious and especially the unconscious patterns to my chosen theme / vision. You asked me specific questions and reflected on my statements again and again, so that I could recognise and perceive my dysfunctional patterns and beliefs, and you also gave me enough time for this. I felt very clearly that through recognising and perceiving my patterns, they felt much lighter and in part even almost like neutral. This was a new experience for me and the realisation that when the unconscious becomes conscious, it loses its “effect”. You pointed out my concepts and reality to me to be able to perceive the difference. You always had the “red thread” in mind and our conversation was so wonderfully rounded off at the end – really coherent for me.
“A real surprise. I thought I know my self quite well”
The session was a real surprise. I thought I know my self quite well, but it turned out that I was (mostly likely still) very ignorant. It is a huge relief to see the basic motivation behind my actions – shocking and releasing. It feels that a big burden has been lifted from me at an instant. Now I am very curious to see how it gonna effect my daily life. Anyway, it helps me to be more aware of my action. I could learn that it makes a tremendous difference whether I am acting out of a blind deep rooted wrong assumption, which always creates tension, because we are not coherent, or acting out of love and freedom.
“Simon is one of the best personal development trainer and coach I worked with so far! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
Had the pleasure to attend his AOC seminar and also work with him 1:1. He has a unique ability to open up space for meaningful conversations and as a very strong active listener, it’s possible for him to help you reflect and realize the underlying structures that are causing us to behave in certain ways. I recommend listening to his podcast Beyond Perception where he hosts many interesting guests and I also recommend that you either attend one of his seminars or book him for a 1:1 coaching session, you won’t regret it!!
“It was truly profound and inspiring for me”
I had a coaching session with Simon and it was truly profound and inspiring for me. Simon had an amazing ability to lead the discussion into the most skewed areas in my life and bring the most relevant conflicts into the light. It was a relieving experience to find the truth beyond conditioned belief systems and structures. And when we found what really is (not just a belief), we started integrating those immediately. It’s not just about knowledge, but action with understanding and the best intention.
If you are willing to let go of things that don’t serve you anymore and unleash your inner genius which we all are/have, I highly recommend investing in your own growth and booking a meeting with Simon.
