Hi, thank you for viewing my profile, and well done for making that step into choosing therapy.
My ultimate aim as a therapist is to give every client a service that promotes, encourages and values you and your emotional well-being. Making the decision to access therapy can be one of the hardest decisions to make, so well done for that and wanting to help and improve things for yourself.
I’m a passionate, dedicated, thoughtful and congruent individual who will be by your side in your moments of need. I’ll help you to explore the areas that brought you to therapy and work through the thoughts, feelings and emotions that are attached to these, but in your own time!
My main model of therapy is the person centred approach, as I strongly believe you are the expert on you, I will simply help and support you to find the answers to the issues you are experiencing. I also integrate CBT, Solution Focused and mindfulness approaches to my practice, giving you the client food for thought during the therapy process.
I have also experienced therapy as a client, so have a greater understanding of the thoughts, feelings, fears and emotions connected to starting therapy and the experiences and events that led to me seeking support. Overall I have had therapy for 3 years on and off, and can genuinely say, it changed my life, helped me be aware of the events and traumas I have experienced in the past, and helps me now make the right choices for myself.
If you decide that I’m not the therapist for you after reading this profile, I wish you all the best in your quest for support, and truly hope you find the right person for you.
Take care
Simon

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Simon has given me a space to discuss challenges in my life and has given me confidence to handle them
My experience with Simon over the past few months has been incredibly positive. He provides a comfortable and non-judgmental space, making it easy to share and explore personal issues. Simon’s insightful feedback has been instrumental in helping me understand and confront my challenges. Each session is productive, thanks to his professional and empathetic approach. I've gained valuable coping strategies and a clearer sense of self through our discussions. I wholeheartedly recommend Simon to anyone seeking meaningful and effective therapy.
Great support. Simon Fox is very professional and supportive. He helped a lot with setting up a maintainable schedule that really helps with managing my low moods.
Simon has been the best therapist I’ve ever had. I think his approach is very effective. He provides great guidance and challenges you without pushing you where he wants you to go. As he says, “You are the expert of you” and he helps you find your own answers. Highly recommended!
Simon is very supportive as a therapist, showing genuine interest and concern. He knows when to challenge your way of thinking and when to offer support. Conversations feel natural and more like with a friend than a therapist, which is good.
Thanks!
