Simon Fox is a counsellor who works from a client-centred perspective. He believes people know themselves best and aims to create a supportive space where they can find their own answers. Simon has ten years' experience in the UK helping people face stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns.

He uses psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns from the past that still affect daily life. He also draws on solution-focused and trauma-focused approaches to help people manage painful memories and build small, practical steps forward.

Background and approach

Sessions are conversational and paced to each person’s needs. Simon has personal experience of having attended therapy himself. That experience shaped how he listens and how he helps people through the nervous early stages of seeking support.

He aims to be thoughtful, steady and non-judgemental in sessions. Common concerns he helps with include addiction, grief, eating and body image problems, parenting stresses, work and career pressures, and coping with life changes. He also supports people with attachment and abandonment worries, infidelity, and fertility or fatherhood issues.

Simon offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. He works online using video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. People typically start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions according to the scheduling process.

How Simon’s approaches work online

Simon bases his work on a client-centred way of working that lets the person lead the pace and topics of conversation. This approach is about listening, reflecting and helping people find their own solutions, which can be very helpful for concerns like self-esteem, relationship worries and coping with life changes.

He also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences shape current behaviours and feelings. That can help when patterns repeat in relationships or when long-standing issues like attachment or abandonment worries affect day-to-day life. Trauma-focused methods are used when painful memories need careful attention and step-by-step processing.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options with each person and agree what to try first, then adjust as goals and needs become clearer. Clients are involved in planning the work and deciding which techniques feel most useful.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and messaging suit short check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to schedule around daily life.
