About Simon
Simon Fox is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has practised for 10 years in the United Kingdom. He lists stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, family issues, self-esteem and many related difficulties among the concerns he works with. He welcomes people who are dealing with loss, trauma, addiction or the ripple effects of life changes.
Simon uses a client-centred approach that treats the person as the expert on their own life. He aims to listen without judgement and to help people find their own solutions at a pace that suits them. He also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns from the past that affect the present.
Solution-focused work appears in his practice to identify small, achievable steps. He blends these with trauma-focused techniques when past harm is part of what someone brings. That mix lets him shift between practical, present-focused strategies and deeper emotional exploration.
He has personal experience of having attended therapy for several years, and says that experience shaped how he supports others. This background gives him an understanding of the anxieties people often feel when first starting therapy.
Sessions can address a wide range of topics including grief, eating and body image issues, addiction, parenting and fertility concerns, anger and isolation. He also lists LGBT matters, ADHD, compassion fatigue and career-related stress among his areas of focus. The emphasis in sessions is on working at a steady pace and helping people notice change where it matters to them.
How his approaches are used in online sessions
Simon regularly uses Client-Centred Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in his work. Client-Centred Therapy means the counsellor offers attentive listening and reflects what the person says so they can come to their own conclusions. Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small, practical steps that make a day-to-day difference and can help when someone wants clear, short-term changes.He also draws on psychodynamic ideas to notice repeating patterns that come from earlier life events, and on trauma-focused methods when past hurt is part of a current problem. Deciding which mix to use is a collaborative process. The counsellor and client work together to find what feels most helpful based on needs, goals and preferences rather than assuming one method fits everyone.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the current session options before booking. The practical benefits of remote work can include fitting sessions around work or family life, having shorter check-ins when time is limited, or choosing a phone call when video is difficult. Registered and accredited professionals, including counsellors, can offer online work that helps people access support without rearranging their whole day.
