About Simon
Simon Langtry is a counsellor who combines practical talking approaches with down-to-earth support. He works in the United Kingdom and brings 14 years of experience to sessions. He holds NCPS, which is shown as his professional credential.
Simon focuses on common challenges such as stress, anxiety, anger and depression. He also helps people who are dealing with relationship strain, parenting pressures, self-esteem concerns and career worries. Phobias are included among the areas he lists, and he will discuss specific fears with a calm, step-by-step approach.
Background and approach
His style treats the client as the expert in their own life. Sessions aim to build on what is already going well, while trying practical ways to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. That can mean setting small goals between meetings and reviewing what helps most.
Simon uses techniques from client-centred work, cognitive behavioural ideas and solution-focused methods. These help with immediate problems and with planning for the future. He adapts the balance of approaches to match what each person needs.
People often come to him for help after a big change, a difficult relationship, or rising stress at work or home. He listens without judgement and helps people find clearer next steps. The aim is to make coping feel more manageable day to day.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and building trust. In online sessions the counsellor mirrors this by giving space for people to tell their story and by reflecting what they hear. This approach helps when someone needs a calm, accepting space to make sense of difficult feelings.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and tries practical experiments to shift unhelpful patterns. In remote work this can include setting short between-session tasks, using worksheets by email or trying behavioural steps during the week to test what changes. Solution-Focused Therapy is brief and goal oriented and centres on small, achievable steps to move toward what matters. It can be useful when someone wants quick, manageable actions to improve daily life.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The therapist will discuss your goals, preferences and what feels workable, then try methods that fit your situation. That collaborative planning can be adjusted as you progress.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful when non-verbal cues matter, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and messaging can support ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping continuity of care.
