About Simon
Simon Caufield is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who focuses on trauma, grief and related concerns. He holds a BSc (Hons) degree in counselling and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS).
He has four years of professional experience working with people facing depression, anxiety and life-changing health issues. Simon takes a client-centred approach and aims to make sessions warm and welcoming.
Background and approach
He encourages open conversation and works at a pace that suits each person. The aim is to build trust so difficult topics can be discussed safely and honestly. He uses an integrative style, drawing on person-centred ideas, psychodynamic thinking and trauma-focused methods.
That means he adapts what happens in sessions to suit the person in front of him, rather than a single fixed method. Practical tools are offered when they help, alongside time to reflect on feelings and life patterns.
People seek him out for a wide range of issues including bereavement, post-traumatic stress, cancer and life-limiting illness, relationship and family difficulties, and struggles with self-esteem or isolation. He also supports those coping with career stress, anger and compassion fatigue. Sessions can include focused exercises, conversational work and exploration of past experiences that continue to affect the present.
Simon welcomes international clients and conducts sessions in English.

How online therapy and approaches work together
Trauma-focused therapy looks at the impact of traumatic events on feelings and daily life and offers ways to process distressing memories and reactions. It can help with symptoms that follow serious loss, accidents or abuse and aims to reduce the hold those memories have over current life.Client-centred therapy places the persons experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens without judgement, reflects what is heard and allows the client to lead the pace and focus of each meeting. This approach helps when someone needs time to be heard and to make sense of their feelings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk through options and adapt methods to match the clients needs, goals and preferences. That collaboration helps decide whether trauma-focused techniques, a person-centred way of working, or a mixture will be most helpful.
Online sessions use video calls, phone conversations, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is suited to deeper, face-to-face style conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when low bandwidth or not being on camera matters. Live chat and text messaging can fit short check-ins, brief updates or people who prefer typed communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and travel commitments.
