About Simon

Simon Langtry is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has 14 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. He works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, depression and relationship problems. He also supports people managing parenting strain and struggles with self-esteem or career pressure.

He uses a straightforward, person-focused way of working. He leans on Client-Centred Therapy to listen and reflect what matters to each person. He uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to help identify unhelpful thought patterns and test different ways of coping. He also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to set small, practical goals for immediate change.

Sessions tend to focus on the person in front of him rather than labels. He helps people talk through difficult feelings like anger or anxiety and looks for concrete steps to reduce distress. For parenting concerns he works with the individual parent to address stress, communication and practical routines that influence family life.

Simon has worked with people affected by domestic violence, addiction, chronic illness and bereavement. He also addresses attachment and abandonment worries, blended family issues, caregiver strain and problems with control or communication. He explains approaches in plain terms and keeps sessions direct and practical.

People who choose to work with him complete a short matching questionnaire before arranging a first session. He accepts international clients and holds sessions in English.

How sessions work

How Simon's approaches work for online sessions

Simon draws on Client-Centred Therapy to listen carefully and reflect what matters to the person. This approach helps people feel heard and clarifies the issues they want to address. It suits concerns like relationship tension, parenting strain and low self-esteem.

He also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. CBT helps break down anxious or depressive cycles and tests practical changes that reduce distress. Solution-Focused Therapy is used alongside these methods to set small, achievable goals and notice what changes quickly.

Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss which methods fit a person’s needs, goals and preferences and adjust the approach as sessions progress. It is collaborative and revisited when needed.

The biography does not specify session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life - for example shorter check-ins at lunch, avoiding travel time, or choosing sessions that do not require being on camera. Registered or accredited professionals can offer a range of practical arrangements to suit daily routines, and Simon will discuss which options best meet each person’s circumstances.
