About Simon
Simon Caufield helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and depression. He also supports those facing life changes, relationship or family difficulties, trauma and abuse, parenting pressures, career concerns and compassion fatigue. Simon mentions additional focus areas such as body image, cancer-related issues, caregiver stress and loneliness.
He is based in the United Kingdom and works in English. Simon trained to a BSc (hons) level in counselling and has four years of professional experience.
Background and approach
He is a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and an accredited member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). He describes his work as integrative and draws on several approaches to meet each person's needs. His sessions are client centred and aim to be warm and interactive.
Simon prioritises building trust so people can talk about difficult material at their own pace. He uses psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns from the past, and trauma-focused methods for those affected by traumatic events. Practical work with thoughts and behaviours is drawn from cognitive behavioural therapy, to help manage symptoms and try new coping strategies.
He also brings a listening, person-centred stance that keeps the client's experience at the heart of each session. This mix aims to offer both understanding and practical steps forward. To begin, people use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire.
Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time, and Simon accepts clients from outside the UK.

How Simon works online
He also draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try practical changes. Together these approaches offer both understanding and tools for coping. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process - the therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try to match the work to what feels most helpful.
If you are considering online work, confirm the current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and let people meet from a familiar location. Different approaches suit different people and the therapist will help choose methods and pacing that fit your needs and everyday commitments.
