About Simon

Simon Fox is a counsellor who works from a person-centred viewpoint and places the client at the heart of the work. He aims to offer a calm, respectful space where people can talk through the worries that brought them to therapy. He acknowledges how hard it is to ask for help and aims to make the first steps feel manageable and clear.

He draws on ten years of experience and uses approaches that suit each person.

Background and approach

That includes trauma-focused ways of working alongside psychodynamic thinking and solution-focused strategies. These help with issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, addictions and trauma and abuse. Sessions are conversational and guided by what the client needs at the time.

The counsellor pays attention to thoughts, feelings and patterns that repeat across relationships and life choices. He supports people to notice unhelpful habits and to find different ways of coping. Practical tools and short-term goals can be used when helpful, and longer conversations about past events are welcomed when they matter to the client.

He also offers coaching-style support for career decisions and life transitions. Simon brings personal experience of having been in therapy himself, which informs his sensitivity about starting and staying in counselling. He is registered with NCPS and works with people across the United Kingdom and internationally in English.

Therapeutic approaches online and how they help

Simon combines trauma-focused work with a client-centred stance to help people process difficult experiences and find a way forward. Trauma-focused therapy aims to address the impact of distressing events on daily life and relationships, often by gently working through what happened and its effects. Client-centred therapy trusts that the person knows themselves best and offers listening, reflection and support to find personal solutions.

He also uses psychodynamic ideas at times to look at repeating patterns and past influences that shape current feelings. That approach can be useful when someone wants to understand why they react in certain ways or to make sense of long-standing difficulties. Choosing the right mix of approaches is collaborative - the therapist will work with each person to decide what fits their goals, needs and preferences as sessions progress.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, giving flexibility to fit work, family life and busy schedules. Video is useful for a fuller conversation, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or messaging can suit brief check-ins or people who do better without being on camera. These options make it easier to maintain continuity and to access therapy from different locations with less travel.
