About Jon
Jon Simons is a counsellor who helps people dealing with depression, stress and anxiety. He approaches sessions with a straightforward, engaged manner and encourages clients to talk about the things that matter to them. He works with adults on common life challenges such as work problems, relationship difficulties and major life changes.
He uses a mix of talking therapies to suit each person. That can include practical strategies from cognitive behavioural therapy, attention to early attachment patterns, and a focus on the person's own goals and values.
Background and approach
Sessions are collaborative and paced to match what the client is ready for. Jon has nine years of experience working with a wide range of emotional issues. He has supported people with grief, trauma, addictions, eating difficulties, bipolar challenges and problems with sleep or motivation.
He also helps clients who are exploring identity, life purpose or changes in midlife. He offers flexible appointment types so people can fit therapy around work and family demands. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging are used depending on the client’s needs.
International clients who can meet in English are also supported. Jon aims to make change feel manageable. He draws on motivational interviewing when someone wants to find direction, and psychodynamic ideas when understanding past patterns matters.
He encourages practical steps alongside reflection to help clients move forward.

Online support
He also uses client-centred methods which focus on what the person wants from therapy. This means the conversation is guided by the client’s own goals and pace, and the therapist listens closely to what matters most to them.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jon will discuss different ways of working early on and adapt methods to fit the client’s aims and preferences. That collaboration helps decide whether more practical techniques or deeper reflection will be most useful.
Online formats offer useful practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when schedules or distance make in-person therapy difficult. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging suit short, frequent support and can be easier to fit into a busy day. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent while managing work, travel or family commitments.
