About Simon
Simon Langtry is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has 14 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. He works with issues such as stress, anxiety, anger, depression, relationships, parenting and self-esteem. He also offers support around career concerns and family-related challenges including separation and blended family matters.
Simon takes a person-focused approach. He treats clients as the expert on their own life and builds on existing strengths. In sessions he listens, reflects, and helps people spot patterns that keep problems going. He aims to make practical changes that fit daily life rather than relying on abstract theory.
He commonly uses Client-Centred methods to help people feel heard and understood. He also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviour, and on Solution-Focused Therapy to set small, achievable goals. These ways of working are used to tackle anxiety, anger, low mood and relationship problems.
Simon has worked across a range of concerns including domestic violence, addiction, chronic illness and caregiver stress. He has experience with attachment and abandonment issues, communication problems, control issues and body image. He is familiar with both life transitions and long-term challenges, such as ageing and geriatric issues.
Sessions are carried out in English and Simon can work with people based outside the UK. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange a first session. He uses a subscription model for sessions that can be cancelled at any time and the fee varies with location.
How his approaches work in online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting. The therapist aims to understand the client's experience and respond in a non-directive way to build trust and clarity. This approach is useful for people who need to feel heard while working through relationship and self-esteem concerns.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and behavioural changes to reduce anxiety, anger and low mood. CBT often includes homework tasks that help transfer learning into daily life.
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on setting small, realistic goals and spotting what already works. It helps people make quick, practical shifts when they feel stuck or overwhelmed by life changes such as leaving home, starting a job or relationship strain.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped before, then agree a way of working together. This is a collaborative process that may combine elements from different approaches to suit the client's needs.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around study, work or caring duties by avoiding travel and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. They can also suit people who prefer audio-only contact or who need more flexible scheduling.
