Simon Langtry, NCPS

Simon Langtry is a counsellor who uses a person-centred approach to help people navigate midlife transitions and related struggles. He draws on 14 years of experience working with anxiety, depression, anger and relationship difficulties. He frames each conversation around the client’s strengths and priorities, and aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable and clear.

Simon believes people know their own stories and that therapy is a place to make sense of those stories. He listens for the practical problems underneath strong feelings, and helps people set small goals they can try between sessions. This practical focus can be useful for concerns like stress, career strain, or parenting pressures.

Over his career Simon has supported people facing a wide range of issues including communication problems, separation and divorce, caregiving stress, and substance use concerns. He also works with people dealing with attachment or abandonment worries, body-image and ageing-related concerns, and chronic health challenges. His approach adapts to what each person brings into the room rather than following one fixed route.

Clinically, Simon draws on Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy to shape sessions. These methods are used to explore feelings, test practical steps and change unhelpful thinking patterns where needed. Sessions are conversational and focused on what the person wants to achieve.

He works from the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on his availability.

How therapy approaches shape online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own priorities and views, and offers space to be heard and understood without judgement. It helps when someone needs to make sense of big life changes or conflicting feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact and uses small experiments to change unhelpful patterns. It is often useful for anxiety, low mood and stress. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical steps and short-term goals, helping people try new behaviours quickly and notice what works.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about what matters to them and try different ways of working until they find a good fit. Goals, pace and methods are agreed together and can evolve as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to continue work while travelling or living abroad. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists adapt their methods so sessions remain practical and focused, whatever the setting.
