Simon Langtry, NCPS

Simon Langtry uses a client-centred approach that puts the person and their goals first. He combines this with practical techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy and brief, goal-focused methods to help people manage day-to-day problems. Simon has 14 years of experience working with common difficulties such as anxiety, stress and low mood. He also supports people facing relationship strain, parenting challenges and work pressures.

Simon starts by listening closely to what matters to each person. He believes clients are the experts on their own lives and works alongside them to build on existing strengths. Sessions are straightforward and aim to be useful from the first meetings.

He draws on cognitive behavioural strategies to help people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try different responses. Solution-focused ideas are used to set clear, small goals and track progress between sessions. This mix keeps therapy practical and action oriented.

Simon also helps with issues such as anger, body image and coping with long-term health problems. He offers support for adjustment after separation, substance difficulties and communication problems. His style is calm, direct and encouraging.

Simon holds NCPS, which is shown as NCPS. He works with people across the United Kingdom and accepts international clients. Sessions can be arranged via video call, phone, live chat or text messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.

How Simon's approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's perspective, helping them feel heard and exploring what they want to change. It is useful for building confidence, working through self-esteem issues and deciding on next steps. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety or low mood. It often involves trying small experiments between sessions to test new ways of coping. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on clear, short-term goals and the steps a person already uses that work; it suits people wanting fast, practical progress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work Simon does with each person. He will discuss the options and help choose methods that match the individual's goals, needs and preferences. That choice is collaborative and can change over time as progress is reviewed.

Online therapy by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging makes sessions easier to fit around work, family and travel. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when more depth is needed, phone sessions can be quicker check-ins or fit a lunch break, and live chat or messaging work well for shorter updates or when writing helps express thoughts. These formats give flexibility while keeping the therapeutic focus on practical tools and steady progress.
