About Simon
Counsellor and NCPS member, Simon Langtry has 14 years of practice in the United Kingdom helping people with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, anger, depression, parenting and self-esteem. He works from a counselling perspective and uses practical talking therapies to help people manage difficult feelings and problems in day-to-day life.
Simon believes clients know their own stories and that small steps can make a difference. Sessions focus on clear goals and on what clients can do between meetings. He listens for strengths and patterns and uses that information to shape the work together.
He draws on client-centred methods to prioritise the person’s experience in the room. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is used when thinking and behaviour patterns are tied to distress. Solution-focused techniques help identify immediate, realistic steps to reduce pressure and move forward.
Over 14 years Simon has supported people with a broad range of concerns. These include abandonment, attachment problems, blended family issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, communication difficulties, addiction, divorce and domestic violence. He also works with issues such as body image, control problems, and ageing and geriatric matters.
Sessions are practical and straightforward. Simon asks about what the client hopes to change and agrees on steps together. He uses plain language and keeps the focus on what will help in everyday life.
How Simon uses talking therapies for online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the centre of the work. The counsellor listens and reflects what matters most to the client, helping them make sense of feelings and choices. This suits people who want a respectful, non-directive space to talk about life problems.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviours keep problems going. It breaks issues into manageable parts and uses practical exercises to change thinking and actions. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood and unhelpful patterns that affect day-to-day life.
Solution-Focused work aims for small, achievable steps. It identifies what is already working and builds on that to make quick, practical changes. This can help when someone needs short-term support to reduce immediate pressure.
Finding the right approach happens together. Simon will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. That collaborative process helps match techniques to the person’s needs and preferences.
The original profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, travel and family life. It can also allow shorter check-ins or sessions without the need to travel, which some people find more practical.
