About Simon
Simon Langtry is a counsellor with 14 years of professional experience based in the United Kingdom. He approaches therapy with a belief that each person knows their own story and has strengths to draw on. Simon aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable and recognises that deciding to start takes courage.
Simon uses person-focused listening as a foundation for his work. He offers practical thinking strategies from cognitive behavioural therapy and short-term goal work from solution-focused therapy. These approaches are used to help people manage stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship difficulties in everyday terms.
His background includes supporting people with anger, domestic violence, anxiety and depression. He also works with concerns such as parenting strain, career worries, self-esteem, and communication problems. Additional areas of interest include coping with natural or human-caused disaster and long-term physical health challenges.
In sessions he listens first, then shapes approaches around what the person wants to change. That may mean practising new ways of thinking, testing small behaviour changes, or setting clear, achievable steps for the week. Sessions aim to be practical and focused on what helps in day-to-day life.
Simon is registered with NCPS. Sessions are delivered in English and he accepts international clients. To begin, people are encouraged to use the service Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire to arrange scheduling.
How Simon's approaches translate to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy here means the counsellor listens carefully and follows what matters most to the person. That often looks like reflective listening, asking about what matters, and checking in about priorities for change.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on noticing unhelpful thinking and trying practical experiments to test different thoughts. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and managing stress with step-by-step techniques.
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable goals and practical next steps. It helps people make short-term changes that add up over time and suit busy lives.
Choosing the right approach is usually collaborative. Simon will work with each person to decide which ideas feel most useful, adapting techniques to match their goals and preferences rather than applying a single method.
If you plan to try online sessions, please confirm the exact formats offered before booking as the profile does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a week, reduce travel time, and let people meet from different locations. Some approaches lend themselves to short check-ins or screen-based worksheets, while others focus on spoken dialogue and reflection, so practical arrangements are agreed together.
