About Simon
Simon Fox is a counsellor who uses a person-centred approach to help people feeling stuck or overwhelmed. He aims to create a respectful space where clients can talk through stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns at their own pace. Simon recognises the courage it takes to look for help and meets people without judgement.
He draws on Client-Centred Therapy as his main model, believing people are the experts on their own lives. He also combines elements from psychodynamic ideas, Solution-Focused Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy to tailor sessions to each person. That mix allows practical steps alongside deeper reflection when needed.
Simon has ten years of experience and holds NCPS as a listed credential. He has personal experience of having been in therapy, which informs how he understands the worries clients bring when they first contact a counsellor. He uses that insight to make the first sessions less daunting.
Common themes he supports include stress, coping with life changes, addictions, grief, self-esteem and issues linked to identity such as LGBT concerns. He also works with people facing parenting and fatherhood stresses, burnout and compassion fatigue. Additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment concerns, body image and eating-related worries.
Sessions are offered in English and Simon accepts international clients. If someone prefers a different direction after an initial meeting, he encourages them to keep looking until they find the right fit.
How his approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and helping people find their own answers. Online sessions using this approach can be used to talk through feelings, build self-awareness and plan small steps forward.Psychodynamic ideas look at patterns from past experiences that shape how someone reacts now. In an online setting this can help people notice repeating themes, understand emotional triggers and work toward different choices.
Simon sees finding the right approach as a collaborative process. He will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest which methods might suit them best. Together they decide how to shape sessions to match what the client needs at that time.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so check the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around day-to-day life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find remote sessions helpful for continuity during busy periods or when arranging appointments across different locations.
