Person-focused counsellor offering practical strategies
About Simon
Simon Langtry uses a straightforward, person-focused way of working. He draws on Client-Centred approaches first, then brings in cognitive and solution-focused tools as needed. He speaks plainly and aims to make sessions feel manageable for people under stress.
Simon has 14 years of practice in the United Kingdom. He holds NCPS as a listed credential and has spent his career helping people cope with anxiety, depression and anger. He also supports those dealing with relationship strain, parenting pressures and career stress.
Background and approach
In a typical session he listens to what matters most to the person in front of him. He helps people name the issue, spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try small, practical changes between sessions. The focus is on what can make life feel better now rather than long, abstract plans.
Simon also works with concerns such as abandonment, attachment difficulties and blended family issues. He has experience with chronic illness and caregiving stress, substance-related problems, and communication or control issues that can make everyday life harder. Sessions are offered in English and Simon accepts international clients.
He aims to create a calm, steady atmosphere where people can take one step at a time toward clearer choices and less overwhelm.

How therapeutic approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person without judgement. It helps people feel heard and clarifies what matters most to them, which can be useful for stress, relationship strain and low self-esteem.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviours interact. It helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try small changes that reduce anxiety or low mood.
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on what is working and on short-term goals. It is practical and helps people build immediate steps to tackle specific problems like parenting strain or workplace stress.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs and preferences. This means plans can change as progress is made and new priorities emerge.
Online sessions can be carried out by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can fit around busy days. These options make it possible to work with a registered professional from different locations and at times that suit everyday life.
