Simon Langtry

Simon Langtry is a counsellor who uses Client-Centred, Cognitive Behavioral, and Solution-Focused approaches to help people manage anger, stress and anxiety. He has 14 years of experience working with issues such as depression, relationship strain, parenting pressures and self-esteem struggles. Simon emphasises the client as the expert in their own story and looks for strengths to build on during sessions.

He encourages a calm, practical style in sessions. Conversations focus on what is happening now, what the person wants to change, and small steps that can help. Techniques from cognitive behavioural work are used to spot unhelpful thinking and test new behaviours. Solution-Focused ideas support clear, short-term goals and measurable progress.

Simon also uses Client-Centred principles to listen closely and follow the person's pace. This means the counsellor reflects what is said and asks questions that help people find their own answers. He combines those elements to suit each person’s needs rather than using one fixed method.

Over 14 years Simon has helped people with a wide range of difficulties including anger, family and relationship issues, addiction concerns and chronic illness. He works with problems linked to control, attachment, and life changes such as divorce or caring responsibilities. Sessions are offered in English in the United Kingdom and to international clients.

Simon holds the NCPS credential, which is shown as NCPS in his profile. To begin, people use the Start Therapy button, fill a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule sessions according to the counsellor’s availability.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Simon uses Client-Centred Therapy to create an accepting and listening space where the person leads the conversation and the counsellor follows. This approach helps when someone needs to be heard and understood before making changes.

He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours. CBT techniques can help with anger, anxiety and low mood by turning small experiments into clearer patterns of change.

Solution-Focused Therapy is used to set short-term, practical goals and track small wins. That method supports people who want clear steps and measurable progress rather than long explorations of the past.

Finding the right mix of these approaches is collaborative. The counsellor will discuss options and try methods that match the person’s needs and preferences, adjusting as progress is made.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, travel or caring duties and can reduce time spent commuting. It also allows shorter check-ins when life is busy and makes it possible to keep continuity of support across different locations.
