About Simon
Simon Fox is a counsellor registered with the NCPS and has ten years' experience in the UK. He works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family issues, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, trauma and anger. He also supports those facing grief, eating and parenting concerns, career change and compassion fatigue.
Simon uses a person-centred approach and believes the client is the expert on their own life. He listens and reflects, and helps people name the thoughts and feelings that keep repeating. This makes it easier to spot patterns and try different ways of responding to anger and frustration.
He combines psychodynamic ideas with solution-focused work and trauma-focused techniques. That mix lets him look at past patterns that feed current reactions, while also testing small, practical steps that can change day-to-day responses. Sessions often include short exercises to practise between meetings.
Simon speaks from experience; he has attended therapy himself and draws on that understanding when supporting others. He aims to be straightforward and consistent in sessions, helping people notice triggers and build clearer coping choices over time.
People who want a practical, down-to-earth approach to managing anger, stress or relationship strain may find his way of working useful. To begin, follow the online matching process and schedule an initial session to talk about priorities and next steps.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Simon uses a person-centred approach in which the client leads the agenda and the counsellor reflects what matters most. This helps with anger by making it clearer which situations trigger strong reactions and what the client already knows about handling them.He also draws on solution-focused methods that target small, practical changes. Those steps can be tried between sessions and reviewed remotely, which suits people who want concrete tools for managing temper and stress. Psychodynamic ideas are used to look at past patterns that influence current responses and can help make sense of recurring resentments.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Simon will talk with the client about their goals and preferences and they will decide together which methods to try. That collaborative decision-making means the plan can shift as needs change.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people try techniques between meetings while still getting professional input.
