About

About Simon

Simon Fox is a counsellor who uses a person-centred approach as his main way of working. He welcomes people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed or unsure, and offers a steady, non-judgemental presence while they talk things through. He draws on his own experience of having had therapy, which helps him relate to how beginning therapy can feel.

He tends to focus on what the client wants to change. Sessions look at the thoughts and emotions behind the issues and at small steps a person can try between meetings.

Background and approach

He also uses elements from psychodynamic thinking to look at past patterns, and from solution-focused work to set practical goals. Over ten years in practice have given him experience helping with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression.

Simon also supports people dealing with grief, trauma and addictions, and addresses concerns such as body image, infertility worries and fatherhood issues as they arise in conversation. Clients may bring concerns around parenting, relationships or family problems, and he invites them to set the pace.

He works with issues including anger, career stress, coping with life changes and compassion fatigue, tailoring each session to what matters most to the client. Simon holds NCPS, which is shown as his listed credential. He offers sessions in English from the United Kingdom and accepts international clients.

The practical session formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Getting started involves selecting the Start Therapy button, completing a short matching questionnaire, and scheduling sessions according to availability. He presents therapy as a collaborative process and will help clients find approaches that fit their needs.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches for online counselling

Simon works mainly from a person-centred perspective, which means sessions begin with listening and helping people to make sense of their own experience. This approach is useful for those wanting time to reflect, to feel heard and to clarify what they truly want to change.

He also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at recurring patterns and how past experiences shape present feelings. That kind of work can help when someone wants to understand why certain reactions keep coming up and to make different choices over time.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. He will help clients decide which combination of listening, pattern exploration and practical goal-setting fits their needs and preferences. The decision about focus is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.

Online sessions can be arranged as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls suit longer conversations and body language cues, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or messaging enables brief check-ins or flexible contact around busy days. These options give practical flexibility for people juggling work, parenting or travel and make it easier to maintain continuity between meetings.
