About Simon
Simon Fox works from a person-centred stance that puts the client at the heart of sessions. He aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk about what matters to them. Simon recognises how hard it can be to ask for help and offers steady, non-judgemental support throughout the process.
He draws on a mix of approaches including solution-focused ideas and trauma-informed ways of working. This lets him respond to practical goals as well as deeper emotional patterns.
Background and approach
Sessions often involve exploring feelings, noticing unhelpful habits, and trying small changes between meetings. Simon has ten years of experience in counselling work and holds NCPS. He also speaks from personal experience of having attended therapy, which he says shaped his understanding of the process.
That background informs how he supports people as they begin or continue therapy. People come to him for a wide range of concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief and relationship issues. He also works with matters like self-esteem, body image and parenting strain.
Simon aims to meet each person where they are and move at a pace that suits them. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability. He is based in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English.
He accepts international clients and uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

Approaches Simon lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
How Simon works online
He also draws on solution-focused ideas that look at small, practical steps and achievable goals. That style is helpful when someone wants concrete changes and short-term action plans. Trauma-focused elements inform his work when past events continue to affect day-to-day life, offering ways to name and reduce their ongoing impact.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss needs, goals and preferences and then agree which mixture of methods feels best. This collaborative process helps match the approach to the issue and to how the person prefers to work.
Please confirm the current session options before booking, since the biography does not list specific formats. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, cut out travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They can also work well for focused problem-solving or for ongoing emotional support that fits around daily commitments.
