About Jody
Jody Simpson is a counsellor who uses a warm, client-focused way of working. She draws on six years of professional experience and a BACP registration to support people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. Jody also helps with relationship strains, grief and the practical challenges of parenting.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and non-judgemental. Jody creates space for people to talk about what is hard and to make small, manageable changes.
Background and approach
She listens for patterns that keep problems going and looks for realistic steps forward. Her background includes training in Transactional Analysis psychotherapy alongside other common approaches. That mix helps her offer flexible conversations that suit each persons needs rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Clients can expect practical tools as well as chance to reflect on feelings and past experiences. Jody works with a wide range of concerns including anger, attachment difficulties, caregiver stress and problems with commitment and communication. She also supports people facing life changes, bereavement and issues connected to LGBT identity.
People choose Jody when they want calm, direct support to make daily life easier. She guides each person towards goals they set themselves and adapts sessions to fit how someone prefers to work.

Approaches that fit online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful, empathic relationship so people feel heard and understood. It helps with anxiety, low mood and parenting worries by making space to talk things through. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches simple techniques to change unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, stress and managing mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on emotions and how they shape close relationships, helping people notice emotional responses and practise different ways of responding.Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest which methods might work best. That plan can change over time as needs evolve and different tools are tried together.
Online sessions offer flexibility in how people meet. Video calls are helpful for a near face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can fit into a short break with lower bandwidth, and live chat or text messaging suit quick check-ins or days when typing feels easier. These options can make it simpler to keep continuity and use therapy in the midst of busy family and work lives.
