About Simon

Simon Caufield helps people facing anger alongside many common concerns. He works with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and depression. He also supports people dealing with trauma, relationship strain, parenting stress and career worries. Simon welcomes conversations about intimacy-related issues, compassion fatigue and life changes.

Simon holds a Bachelor of Science with honours in counselling and has four years of professional experience. He is a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). His training emphasised trauma and bereavement, and he has worked with people affected by cancer and life-limiting illness.

His sessions follow a client-centred, warm and interactive style. He aims to build trust and help people talk through what matters most to them. Techniques are drawn from person-centred work, psychodynamic ideas and trauma-focused approaches, chosen to suit each person’s situation.

In practice Simon combines listening with practical steps. That might mean spotting patterns of thought, making small behaviour changes, or working through painful memories at the person’s pace. He focuses on what helps someone feel steadier in day-to-day life and better able to manage strong emotions.

If someone wants to begin, Simon asks them to use the site’s Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire. From there they can arrange sessions according to his schedule.

How Simon uses therapy approaches online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and experience. The therapist listens closely and helps reflect what the client says so they can find their own solutions; this approach often helps with low self-esteem, anger and relationship worries.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses straightforward exercises to spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviours, which can be useful for anxiety, depression and managing strong emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Simon will discuss options with the person and tailor methods to their needs, goals and preferences. That means therapy is a collaborative process that may combine listening, practical exercises and gentle exploration of past experiences.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make scheduling around work or caregiving simpler. Session formats are not specified here, so it is best to confirm the current options before booking to make sure they suit practical needs and daily routines.
