Jon Simons , NCPS

Jon Simons is a counsellor with eight years of experience based in the North West of the United Kingdom. He works with a broad range of people facing emotionally challenging issues, including difficulties in relationships both at work and at home.

His therapeutic approach is warm and engaging while also offering challenge when it will help a client move forward. He combines empathy with direct exploration of situations so clients can clarify what they want and take practical steps toward those goals. Jon holds the NCPS credential, a qualification indicating professional training in counselling and psychotherapy.

Jon aims to work as flexibly as possible so people have the time and space they need to engage with therapy. He supports clients through the often difficult process of change by walking alongside them, helping to explore options and plan achievable next steps toward where they want to be.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Jon draws on attachment-based therapy to explore how early relationships shape current patterns of relating - this approach helps people understand emotional bonds, improve trust, and address repeating relationship difficulties. He also uses client-centered therapy, which centers the client's own goals and pace by offering nonjudgmental support and helping people find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another approach he integrates to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and develop practical skills for managing stress, anxiety, and mood challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jon works collaboratively with each person to determine which combination of approaches best fits their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the focus as therapy progresses to ensure a good fit.

Online therapy with Jon is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving people flexible options to fit work, family, and other commitments. These remote formats make it easier to access regular support from licensed professionals, maintain continuity of care, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable.
