Jody Simpson, BACP

Jody Simpson uses a person-centred approach to make talking about hard things feel easier. She focuses on clear, practical conversations that help people manage stress, anxiety, low mood and confidence. Jody's style is straightforward and warm, so people know what to expect each session.

Jody draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to help spot unhelpful thinking and build different responses. She also uses emotionally focused ideas to look at how feelings show up in relationships and everyday life. These approaches are used alongside psychodynamic thinking to consider patterns that might run beneath current struggles.

With six years of experience, Jody has helped people work through grief, parenting strain, family problems and anger. She also offers support for issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, avoidant personality patterns and coping after separation. Jody pays attention to the practical steps someone can take between sessions.

Sessions are offered in English and are held online by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. She works from within the United Kingdom and follows BACP guidance as a BACP member. Costs vary with location and sessions are arranged through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

Starting is straightforward: select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability. Jody aims to make the first steps clear and manageable so people can focus on the work that matters.

How Jody's Approaches Work Online

Jody commonly combines person-centred work with cognitive behavioural therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of responding. Person-centred work focuses on listening and building a respectful, non-judgemental conversation so clients feel heard. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and helps people test small changes that can reduce anxiety or low mood.

She also draws on emotionally focused ideas to look at how emotions shape interactions and personal patterns. That approach can help when feelings affect close relationships or lead to repeated conflict. Together, these methods give practical tools and space to think about deeper patterns in a way that suits each person.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Jody will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She checks in regularly to adapt the plan as progress is made or priorities change.

Online delivery uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to offer flexible access. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low, and live chat or messaging can suit short check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, family or other commitments while keeping the focus on practical change.
