Simon Fox , NCPS

Simon Fox offers supportive, person-focused therapy that aims to help people explore and improve their emotional well-being. He acknowledges that deciding to begin therapy can feel difficult, and he approaches each client with empathy, consistency, and a commitment to creating a respectful space for exploration and change.

He works at a pace set by the client, helping to unpack the thoughts, feelings, and memories that brought someone to therapy while encouraging self-awareness and practical reflection. His practice is informed primarily by the person-centered model, which treats the client as the expert on their own experience, and he complements this with solution-focused techniques, elements of cognitive behavioral thinking, and mindfulness-inspired exercises to provide practical tools during the therapeutic process.

Simon brings both professional training and personal experience of therapy to his work. He holds NCPS, a professional counselling credential that denotes formal training in counselling and psychotherapy. With 10 years of experience, he draws on that background to support people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, addiction, grief, parenting challenges, challenges to self-esteem and other life changes.

He values collaboration and honesty, and if someone feels he is not the right fit, he encourages continued searching for the right professional match and wishes them well in that process.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Simon draws on client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening carefully and trusting that clients are the best guides to their own experience. This approach helps when someone needs a respectful, nonjudgmental space to explore emotions, values, and personal goals.

He also uses solution-focused therapy, a practical method that highlights strengths and small, achievable steps to create meaningful change. This approach suits people who want targeted strategies to move past specific problems or to build on what is already working.

In addition, Simon applies trauma-focused principles when past harm shapes current distress, helping clients process difficult memories and reduce their impact on everyday life. He adapts pacing and techniques to each person’s readiness and needs.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Simon collaborates with clients to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences, and he adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - clients can meet by video calls, take phone sessions, or use live chat and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, and other commitments, and they allow licensed professionals to provide consistent support across distances.
