About Simon

Simon Fox is a counsellor who aims to create a supportive space for people taking the step into therapy. He values emotional wellbeing and encourages people to work at their own pace. Simon recognises that starting therapy can feel daunting and speaks from personal experience about how counselling can help.

He uses a person-centred approach and believes the client is the expert on their own life. That means sessions focus on what matters to the individual and on helping them find practical ways forward. Simon also draws on solution-focused and trauma-informed ideas to shape sessions when these fit the person’s needs.

Over ten years of practice have given him experience with a wide range of concerns. He supports people managing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, anger, addictions and relationship problems. He also works with issues such as self-esteem, body image, fertility and coping with major life changes.

Simon holds NCPS as a listed credential and works from the United Kingdom. He offers sessions in English and is open to working with international clients. He explains the therapy process simply and invites questions about how sessions will run.

People can expect a calm, thoughtful presence in sessions. Simon says he will listen carefully, help people talk through what brought them to therapy, and support them in finding steps that make a difference day to day. If he does not feel to be the right match, he encourages people to continue looking for someone who is.

How Simon’s approaches shape online therapy

Simon works from a person-centred perspective that puts the client’s priorities at the centre of the session. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting what matters to the person, and helping them decide the next steps that feel right.

He also uses solution-focused methods to identify small, practical changes that can lead to progress. These techniques are goal-oriented and tend to work well for worries about stress, anger management and coping with life changes. When trauma is part of the story, he brings in trauma-informed ideas to attend carefully to painful memories and reactions while moving at a pace the client can manage.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. In early sessions he will discuss goals, preferences and what feels helpful, and then tailor the mix of person-centred, solution-focused or trauma-informed work accordingly. Clients are encouraged to give feedback so the therapy can be adjusted as needed.

The original profile does not list specific online formats, so confirm available session types before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around everyday life, reduce travel, or allow a shorter check-in during a busy day. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly use these practical benefits to help people maintain regular contact and build change into their routine.
