About Simon
Simon Fox is a counsellor who uses a client-centred approach to help people find their own way through difficult feelings. He aims to create a supportive space where people can talk about stress, anxiety, relationships and other struggles. He understands how hard it is to start therapy and offers steady, respectful listening as a first step.
He draws on ten years of experience and the NCPS credential to guide his work. Simon also integrates psychodynamic ideas, solution-focused methods and trauma-informed thinking where helpful. This means sessions can include looking at past patterns, spotting small changes to try, and working through painful events at a pace that feels right.
Simon speaks from personal experience of having had therapy, which he says helped him understand past trauma and make different choices. He uses that perspective to be compassionate and non-judgemental, while keeping the focus on what each person wants to achieve. Common areas he addresses include depression, self-esteem, addiction, grief, eating issues, parenting pressures and coping with big life changes.
Sessions attend to both emotional pain and practical steps. Clients may explore attachment and abandonment worries, body image concerns, or difficulties around fertility, fatherhood and family relationships. Simon also supports people dealing with isolation, workplace strain and compassion fatigue.
If someone decides he is not the right fit, he encourages them to continue looking for a better match. To start, readers should use the site’s Start Therapy button and follow the brief matching questionnaire to arrange a session.
How Simon’s approaches translate to online work
Simon’s practice centres on client-centred therapy, which means he starts by listening and following the person’s priorities. In online sessions this looks like open conversation, gentle reflection and support to help someone find their own solutions for stress, anxiety or relationship worries.He also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at past patterns that may still affect feelings and behaviour. Working online, this can help people spot recurring themes and understand where certain reactions come from. Solution-focused methods are used to identify small, practical steps clients can try between sessions to shift routine problems and build confidence.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to choose what feels most useful, adjusting methods as needs and goals become clearer. This process is shared and paced to suit the individual.
Session formats are not specified in the profile, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow a shorter check-in when needed. It can also suit people who prefer to be in a familiar setting, need quieter surroundings, or want to use sessions around work or family commitments.
