About Simon
Simon Caufield is a counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. He holds a BSc (Hons) degree in counselling and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). Simon lists social anxiety and phobia among the concerns he works with, along with stress, grief and depression.
He keeps sessions centred on the person in front of him. Conversations are interactive and build trust over time. Simon draws on several approaches so sessions can shift focus as needs change.
Simon trained with a focus on trauma and bereavement and has supported people affected by serious illness and loss. He uses psychodynamic ideas to look at recurring patterns and how past experiences affect present feelings. He also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviours when that proves useful.
Sessions aim to help people manage strong emotions, process painful events and handle practical life changes. Simon also works with concerns such as self-esteem, relationship strain, parenting pressures, career worries and feelings of isolation.
He accepts people from different places and runs work that combines conversational listening with structured interventions when appropriate. To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and arrange a first session so Simon can understand immediate priorities and agree next steps.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and helping a person set the pace. It’s about building trust, reflecting what someone says, and allowing them to lead topics that matter most. This approach helps when someone needs a steady, responsive listener.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. It uses clear goals and practical exercises to try out different responses to anxiety and unhelpful beliefs. CBT can be useful for tackling specific worries like fear of social situations.
Finding the right approach often takes a few sessions. The therapist will talk through goals, try methods in-session and adjust what they do based on how helpful the client finds it. That way the plan is worked out together rather than fixed in advance.
Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week and to keep continuity when life gets in the way. It can allow shorter check-ins or longer sessions depending on what the client needs. The exact session formats are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find remote sessions reduce travel time and make it simpler to attend regular appointments.
