Jody Simpson

Jody Simpson is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who uses a warm, person-focused approach. She aims to make sessions straightforward and practical so people can talk about stress, anxiety, low mood, relationship worries, and anger without feeling judged. Jody holds BACP accreditation and has six years of professional experience supporting people through change.

Her work focuses on helping people notice patterns that get in the way and try small, manageable steps to feel better. Sessions are conversational and based on what matters most to the person in front of her. She encourages clarity about goals so progress can be tracked over time.

Jody combines different ways of working depending on the issue at hand. She uses Client-Centred ideas to build trust, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, and Emotionally-Focused ideas when relationships and attachment feel central. She also draws on psychodynamic thinking and solution-focused strategies when these are helpful for the person.

People often come with worries about parenting, grief, family problems, self-esteem, or coping after separation. Jody also supports people dealing with abandonment, communication problems, control and impulsivity issues, and caregiver stress. She aims to keep language plain and the plan realistic.

Taking the first step can feel hard, and Jody offers steady, non-judgemental support throughout the process. Her sessions aim to make goals clearer and to help people build tools they can use between meetings.

How Jody’s approaches translate to online therapy

Jody uses Client-Centred Therapy to build a respectful, non-judgemental space where people can speak freely about what matters to them; this helps with stress, low mood and relationship concerns. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and to try practical experiments between sessions that can reduce anxiety and improve coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jody will talk with each person about goals, preferences and practical needs, and then suggest which methods to try first. This is a collaborative process and can change as progress is made.

The original biography does not list which online formats are offered, so please confirm the current session options before booking. Many people find remote sessions useful because they can fit meetings into busy schedules, reduce travel time and make it easier to keep regular appointments. Online work also supports use of short check-ins, written exercises or practical homework between sessions to help maintain momentum.
