About Simon
Simon Caufield is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. He holds a BSc (Hons) degree in counselling and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). He works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression and major life changes, and has an additional focus on life purpose and cancer-related concerns.
Sessions follow a client-centred style that encourages open conversation and gradual trust. He combines person-centred listening with psychodynamic ideas and trauma-focused methods. This blend helps when worries feel rooted in past events or in ongoing life pressures.
In practice he often talks through feelings about relationships, family tensions, parenting strains, career uncertainty and issues with self-esteem. He also supports people dealing with loss, post-traumatic stress and isolation. When health problems such as cancer or hospice matters are involved, he works with practical and emotional concerns together.
Therapy typically begins by identifying what matters most now and what a person hopes to change. Sessions are interactive and paced to the individual. Techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy may be used to help manage anxious thoughts and build small, practical steps.
Simon accepts international clients and offers work in English. To start, people use the site matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial meeting to see if his way of working feels like a fit.
How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and supporting a person to find their own answers. The counsellor offers non-directive attention and reflective response to help people clarify what matters and what they want to change.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. It involves practical steps and short exercises to reduce anxiety, tackle negative thinking and build coping skills for daily life.
Psychodynamic ideas consider how past experiences influence present patterns. Talking through recurring feelings and relationship themes can reveal unhelpful habits and open new ways of responding.
Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The counsellor will discuss options, try methods that match the person’s goals, and adjust the plan as therapy progresses. This helps ensure the work stays relevant to what someone needs now.
Because session formats are not specified here, confirm current options before booking. Many people find online work helps fit therapy into a busy week, reduces travel time and allows shorter check-ins when needed. Discuss practical arrangements during the first meeting to decide what will fit into everyday life.
