About Simon
Simon Fox is a counsellor who aims to create a respectful, non-judgemental space for anyone thinking about therapy. He acknowledges that deciding to start therapy takes courage and wants to support people as they take that first step. Simon uses a person-centred approach and draws on other methods to help clients move forward at their own pace.
Simon spends time listening to what matters most to each person. He helps clients talk through difficult feelings and practical problems.
Background and approach
He encourages people to notice patterns, make choices, and try small changes that can make daily life easier. In his practice he combines client-centred work with solution-focused ideas and elements from psychodynamic and trauma-focused approaches. That mix is used to suit individual needs rather than follow a fixed script.
Sessions aim to be collaborative and grounded in what a person wants to achieve. Simon has personal experience of being in therapy and says that experience shapes how he supports others. He brings about 10 years of work in counselling and related roles to his practice, and holds NCPS as a listed credential.
He works with a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship matters, addiction, grief, body image and issues connected to LGBT identity. Simon also addresses parenting and family-related worries alongside career and life transitions.

How Simon’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely and helping people discover their own solutions. In practice this means the counsellor follows the person’s lead, reflects what they say, and helps them notice choices and options. Psychodynamic ideas look at patterns from the past that show up now, helping people make sense of recurring feelings and reactions in daily life.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Simon treats the decision as collaborative and will help a person weigh what feels most useful based on their goals and preferences. He adapts the mix of approaches as the work unfolds rather than sticking to one method from the start.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available online options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit therapy into busy days, avoid travel time, or use shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Online work can also make it easier to continue between life changes and to maintain momentum while managing family or work commitments.
