Simon Fox , NCPS

Simon Fox offers a thoughtful, supportive approach to therapy that values each person as the expert on their own life. He encourages clients to recognise the courage in seeking help and aims to create a space that promotes emotional well-being and personal growth. With a calm and consistent presence, he guides people through the thoughts, feelings and experiences that brought them to therapy, moving at a pace that feels comfortable for the individual.

Simon works primarily from a person-centred framework, believing that clients already hold many of the answers they seek and that therapy can help bring those answers into clearer view. He also integrates solution-focused techniques, aspects of cognitive-behavioural practice, and mindfulness strategies to offer practical tools and fresh perspectives during the therapy process. He holds NCPS, a professional counselling qualification that reflects his formal training in the field.

Having engaged in therapy himself for three years on and off, Simon brings both professional training and personal insight to his work. That experience informs his empathy for the worries and uncertainties people often feel when beginning therapy. If he is not the right fit for someone, he wishes them well on their search and supports the importance of finding the right therapeutic match.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Simon primarily uses a client-centred approach, which focuses on listening, empathy and supporting clients to explore their own values and solutions at their own pace. This approach helps with self-esteem, relationship concerns and navigating major life changes by fostering personal insight and autonomy. He also uses solution-focused methods that concentrate on practical steps and small changes that can make a tangible difference in day-to-day life. These techniques are useful for stress, anxiety and goal-oriented work where clients want clear, manageable ways forward.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Simon works with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the plan as therapy progresses to ensure the best possible fit.

Online therapy with Simon is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access regular support without the need to travel, and they allow therapists and clients to maintain continuity of care across locations and life circumstances.
