About Simon
Simon Langtry offers a practical, person-focused counselling style that centres on the client's perspective. He uses clear, goal-oriented methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, anger and low mood. Simon acknowledges the courage it takes to start therapy and aims to make the first steps straightforward and supportive.
Simon has 14 years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom and is registered with NCPS. He believes the person is the expert in their own story and builds on existing strengths to address current problems.
Background and approach
Sessions are led by what the client wants to change and achieve. His work often combines client-centred listening with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. He also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set small, achievable steps and track progress.
These approaches are applied to concerns such as relationships, parenting stress, self-esteem and career issues. Simon also supports people facing complex or long-term problems, including chronic illness, grief, addiction and difficulties linked to attachment or ageing. He explains options clearly and helps clients weigh what might work for them in everyday life.
People can expect conversations that are direct but compassionate, with practical ideas to try between sessions. Simon helps clients turn those ideas into manageable changes rather than relying on jargon or lengthy theory.

How Simon works online
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours connect. It breaks problems into manageable pieces and tests small changes, which can be discussed during sessions and practiced between meetings.
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on clear, achievable goals and immediate steps forward. It suits people who want to notice faster change and track practical progress week to week.
Finding the right blend of these approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals and preferences rather than imposing a single way of working.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because the biography does not list supported formats. Ask about available options and typical session length to see what fits your routine. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals use these same approaches to help people make steady, practical changes in everyday life.
