Simon Fox, NCPS

Simon Fox is a counsellor who uses a person-centred approach to help people work through difficult emotions. He values a warm, respectful atmosphere and believes clients know themselves best. He emphasises listening, patience and practical support while people talk about what brought them to therapy.

Simon draws on about ten years of experience in counselling practice and holds NCPS as his listed credential. He speaks from personal experience of having had therapy, which informs how he meets people who feel nervous about starting. He aims to move at each person’s pace and to make space for the feelings that come up.

In sessions he blends client-centred work with elements of psychodynamic thinking and solution-focused strategies. That means he pays attention to patterns from the past while also helping people try small, realistic steps forward. He may use trauma-focused ideas where past events continue to cause distress and affect day-to-day life.

Simon helps with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family issues, addictions, grief, eating and body image concerns, parenting strains, career stress, ADHD and compassion fatigue. He also lists additional focuses such as attachment and abandonment, infidelity, fertility and fatherhood issues.

He works with people in the United Kingdom and accepts international clients. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To start, a short matching questionnaire is completed and appointments are scheduled according to the therapist’s availability.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Simon works mainly from a client-centred perspective, which means the first priority is listening and following what matters to the person in front of him. This approach helps when people need someone to reflect their experience and help them find their own answers.

He also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at recurring patterns that may come from past relationships or events. That can help when people notice the same difficulties repeating in different parts of life. Solution-focused work is used to set small, practical goals and try straightforward changes that can be reviewed week to week.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Simon will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and together they will decide what to try first. That collaborative process makes it easier to adjust the focus if something isn’t helping.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer to work from a familiar setting and want to build change into everyday life.
