About Simon
Simon Fox uses a client-centred approach to guide people through difficult feelings and decisions. He meets people where they are and helps them talk through the concerns that brought them to therapy. Simon introduces practical steps at a pace that suits each person.
He works with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship and family concerns. Addictions, trauma and grief are also areas he helps people with. Simon has particular focus on self-esteem, parenting matters, body image and issues around abandonment and attachment.
Background and approach
Simon draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences shape current feelings. He uses solution-focused thinking to help set small, achievable goals. Trauma-focused methods are used when people need to process difficult events and their effects.
He has a decade of experience and holds NCPS as a credential. That background informs his work and how he supports people through change. Simon also speaks from his own experience of having had therapy, which shapes his understanding of what it feels like to begin the process.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and practical. Simon helps people notice patterns, make clearer choices and build coping strategies. If someone reads his profile and feels he is not the right fit, he encourages them to keep looking for a therapist who suits them.

How Simon blends therapeutic approaches online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person as the expert in their own life. The therapist offers empathy and non-judgemental listening to help people find their own solutions, which is useful for low self-esteem, relationship worries and decision-making.Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable steps and practical goals. It helps people who want quick changes or clearer ways to move past a specific problem, such as coping with stress or making a career decision.
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 choose which methods to use. This is a collaborative process that can change as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different lives. Video calls recreate a face-to-face feel, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a good shorter check-in, live chat suits brief conversations and messaging allows flexibility across the week. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family or travel while keeping continuity of care.
