Simon Fox, NCPS

Simon Fox welcomes people who have taken the step to explore therapy and offers a warm, steady presence throughout the therapeutic journey. He aims to provide a service that promotes and values emotional well-being, supporting each person to address the thoughts, feelings and situations that brought them to therapy while working at a pace that feels right for them.

Simon practises from a person-centred perspective, believing that each person is the expert on their own life and that therapy works best when it honours individual experience. He also draws on solution-focused techniques, cognitive-behavioural ideas and mindfulness practices to offer practical ways to reflect and make change. Having experienced therapy personally for several years, he brings an understanding of the hopes and hesitations people often feel when starting this work.

Simon is thoughtful, dedicated and congruent in his approach, aiming to stand alongside people in moments of need and to help them discover their own answers. He holds NCPS, a professional counselling and psychotherapy credential, and has ten years of experience supporting people through difficult transitions and emotional challenges. If he is not the right fit for someone, he genuinely wishes them well in finding a therapist who is.

Person-Centred and Solution-Focused Care Online

Client-Centred Therapy places the client at the heart of the work, offering a non-directive space where the therapist follows the client’s lead and supports self-exploration and personal agency. This approach can be especially helpful for issues like low self-esteem, relationship difficulties and life transitions.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical, achievable steps and the client’s existing strengths. It is often brief and goal-oriented, useful for people seeking concrete changes or clearer direction in areas such as stress, career decisions or coping with specific problems.

Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the impact of traumatic experiences and works to reduce their influence on everyday life. It aims to help people process distressing events and build coping strategies for symptoms that follow trauma or abuse.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Simon will work with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the mix of approaches as the work unfolds and encouraging input from the client at every step.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family and other commitments, and allow licensed professionals and therapists to tailor contact methods to what works best for the individual.
