About Simon

Simon Langtry is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has 14 years of professional experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship strains, family concerns and issues such as anger, depression and parenting. He also supports people dealing with career worries and self-esteem problems.

Simon adopts a straightforward, person-focused approach. He treats the client as the expert on their own life and draws on that knowledge to plan practical steps. Sessions aim to identify manageable changes and build on existing strengths rather than imposing a set solution.

He uses a mix of Client-Centred methods and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to look at thoughts, feelings and behaviours. Solution-Focused techniques are used to set short-term goals and notice small wins. Together these approaches help with recurring anxiety, low mood and conflict linked to blended household arrangements and parenting pressures.

Simon has worked with people affected by domestic violence, addiction and separation, and with those managing chronic illnesses or caring roles. He emphasises clear communication and realistic problem solving when relationships feel strained by changing household dynamics.

Sessions are practical and direct. People who contact him can expect conversations that focus on what can be done next, not on lengthy theory. To begin, readers are invited to use the site matching process to arrange a first meeting.

How his approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the client says. It aims to make it easier for someone to talk through feelings and decide what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and helps people try different responses to reduce anxiety or low mood. Solution-Focused Therapy is short-term and goal-oriented, aiming to identify small, practical steps that produce change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will help the client and themselves to choose methods that match the client’s goals, preferences and the specific problems presented. This is a collaborative process that can be adjusted as progress is reviewed.

The practical benefit of online sessions is that they can fit into busy lives and reduce travel time. They can make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins or longer weekly sessions around work or family commitments. The exact session formats are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking to ensure they fit your routine.
