About Simon
Simon Fox is an NCPS counsellor in the United Kingdom with ten years' experience. He works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression and relationship strain, as well as parenting and family-related worries. He also supports people facing trauma, addiction, eating issues and questions about identity.
Simon uses a person-centred approach as his main model. He treats the person as the expert on their own life and listens for what matters to them. He draws on psychodynamic ideas and solution-focused techniques to help people notice patterns and try practical steps. Trauma-focused ways of working inform his support for people who have experienced harm.
Sessions are conversational and paced to the individual. Simon aims to help people name the feelings and events that matter, then work through them at a manageable speed. He shares ideas and short practices clients can try between sessions when useful.
He speaks from experience of having been in therapy himself, and he brings that perspective to the work. That background informs how he talks about starting therapy, the worries people commonly have, and what can help progress.
Simon accepts international clients and conducts work in English. He uses a subscription model for sessions, which can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule their first session.
How sessions work
How Simon’s approaches are used in online sessions
Simon uses a person-centred approach first, which means sessions start by following what the person brings and prioritising their concerns. This way of working helps people clarify what matters most and set the pace for the work.He also draws on solution-focused methods. These are short, practical ideas and small experiments that people can try between sessions to see what changes. For issues tied to past harm, trauma-focused ways of working are used to help people notice how painful events affect current feelings and responses.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist and client discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable. They may try different methods and adjust the focus as practical needs emerge.
The original biography does not specify exact session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel and use shorter check-ins when needed. It also allows people to work from a location that suits their schedule and to choose whether to have longer or briefer sessions depending on what fits their day.
