About Simon

Simon Langtry, NCPS, offers a practical and person-focused way of working with common life stresses. He believes people know their own story and already carry strengths that can help them through difficult times. Short conversations in a calm setting are used to make sense of what's happening and to plan manageable steps forward.

With 14 years of experience, Simon draws on client-centred ideas to listen and respond to each person’s priorities. He also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to spot and change unhelpful thinking and solution-focused methods to build on small wins. This mix helps with anxiety, low mood, anger and self‑esteem struggles.

Simon has supported people dealing with relationship and family tensions, parenting pressures, career strain and challenges with body image or addiction. He also works with issues such as abandonment, attachment problems and the stresses of caring for others. His approach aims to make problems easier to talk about and to break them into practical next steps.

Sessions are straightforward and action oriented when that suits the person, or more exploratory when someone prefers to reflect. He encourages people to set the pace and to use therapy in ways that fit daily life. Signing up is acknowledged as a big first step, and Simon aims to make the next ones feel manageable.

Based in the United Kingdom, Simon delivers work in English and accepts international clients. If you are considering help with eating or food-related concerns, mention that when you start so it can be included in the plan.

How Simon's approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person's priorities. The counsellor offers empathy and reflection so people can explore what matters most and decide their next steps. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses clear exercises and practical experiments to reduce anxiety, low mood or anger. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, realistic changes and on building what already works in a person's life.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Simon will talk with the person about their goals, preferences and what has helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made so the work stays relevant and useful.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule. It can also let people use spoken, written or visual ways of working that feel most helpful. Registered or accredited professionals can guide how to make remote sessions practical and manageable while matching the therapeutic approach to the person's needs.
