About Simon
Simon Fox is a counsellor who works from a client-centred stance. He aims to create a respectful space where people feel heard and helped to make changes that matter. Simon acknowledges how hard the first step into therapy can be and offers steady, non-judgemental support as people begin to talk about what’s worrying them.
He draws on a mix of approaches including psychodynamic, solution-focused and trauma-focused ideas alongside his person-centred work. That means sessions can include time to reflect on past patterns, short-term goal work to tackle immediate problems, and careful attention to painful experiences and how they affect day-to-day life. Simon keeps language plain and practical, and works at the client’s pace.
His practice covers a wide range of concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, addictions and relationship difficulties, as well as grief, parenting pressures, body image and issues linked to trauma. He also supports people dealing with life changes, ADHD, compassion fatigue and coping with natural or human-caused disaster. Sessions can address both specific problems and broader questions about identity and purpose.
Simon trained to the NCPS standard and brings ten years of experience to his work in the United Kingdom. He has personal experience of having attended therapy himself, which informs how he meets people who feel anxious about starting therapy. He welcomes conversations about what someone needs and how to make sessions useful.
If someone feels this style might not fit, Simon encourages them to keep looking for a counsellor who feels right. He aims to be practical, steady and respectful while people work through difficult feelings.
Approaches that guide online work and how they help
Simon uses client-centred methods that focus on listening, empathy and working at each person’s pace. This approach helps people who need a supportive space to talk through worries and make their own decisions about change.He also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at how past patterns and relationships influence current feelings. That can help when someone wants to understand repeated reactions or deep-rooted anxieties. Solution-focused work is used to set short-term goals and try small, practical steps that can ease stress or improve daily functioning.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Simon will work collaboratively to choose methods that fit a person’s needs, goals and preferences rather than imposing one style. Conversations early on focus on what someone wants from therapy and how best to get there.
The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around family and work, cut travel time and allow people to meet from different locations. It can also let conversations be shorter or more flexible when needed, for example by using a telephone check-in if that suits someone better.
