About Simon

Simon Caufield is a counsellor who helps people deal with stress, anxiety, grief and low self-esteem. He also supports those facing depression, trauma and relationship or family strains. He works with issues like parenting stress, career pressure, anger and feelings of emptiness.

Simon has four years of professional experience and holds a BSc (hons) degree in counselling. He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS).

Background and approach

Simon’s sessions aim to be warm and interactive. He creates space for people to talk, be heard and start to make small changes. He favours a client-centred stance that follows the person’s pace and priorities.

That means the conversation is guided by what matters most to each individual. He combines client-centred work with cognitive behavioural ideas to look at unhelpful thinking patterns. He also draws on psychodynamic perspectives to notice recurring life patterns and trauma-focused methods when past events remain painful.

These approaches are used in straightforward, practical ways rather than technical jargon. Clients can expect a calm, non-judgemental presence and practical conversation about coping strategies. Simon pays attention to day-to-day problems like sleep, worry and low motivation, alongside deeper themes such as grief and identity.

He aims to help people feel steadier and clearer about their next steps. Sessions can include talking, reflection and simple exercises to try between meetings. Simon welcomes international clients and works in English, offering a flexible way to get support when life feels overwhelming.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Simon uses client-centred work to make sessions feel led by the person seeking help. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting and following what matters most, and it can help with anxiety, low mood and relationship worries.

He also uses trauma-focused methods when past events continue to affect daily life. Those methods aim to reduce the intensity of distressing memories and build coping strategies to manage triggers and flashbacks.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy. Simon will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and together you will decide which methods to try. That collaborative process may mix different ways of working as progress is made.

Online therapy with Simon uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls let you meet face to face when more verbal and visual connection is helpful. Phone sessions can be useful when internet bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Text and chat sessions suit shorter check-ins or daily support between longer meetings. These options give flexibility for people juggling work, caregiving or health commitments, and allow therapy to fit into different routines and time zones.
