About Jon
Jon Simons is a counsellor with nine years of experience who helps people facing common parenting strains and other life stresses. He offers a down-to-earth approach to worries such as anxiety, sleeping problems, low mood, addiction concerns and questions about parenting. He aims to make sessions straightforward and useful for busy people.
He uses a mix of practical talking methods. That includes exploring attachment patterns, looking at thoughts and behaviours with cognitive behavioural therapy, and offering client-centred support that follows the person's pace.
Background and approach
He also draws on motivational interviewing and psychodynamic ideas when those perspectives help make sense of what’s happening. In sessions he balances gentle support with careful challenge. Conversations focus on what a person wants to change and small steps that can be tried between meetings.
He pays attention to how past relationships shape present choices and how that affects day-to-day parenting and family roles. Jon works flexibly across several formats, so appointments can fit around work and family life. He accepts international clients and runs sessions in English.
Fees vary with location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. He is registered with NCPS, and he brings practical experience from nearly a decade of practice. People who prefer clear guidance and a calm, collaborative style may find his way of working helpful.

How his approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current reactions. It can help people understand patterns that affect parenting, closeness and trust in adult relationships. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and testing small changes. It is useful for anxiety, sleep problems and low mood where practical steps can make a difference. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person at the heart of the work and offers a non-judgemental space to shape goals and timing.Choosing an approach is a joint process. Jon will talk through the options and work with the person to decide what feels most useful. That choice can change over time as goals shift or new issues arise, and he adapts the focus to match each person's needs and preferences.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help, while phone sessions can be a good option if bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter updates or when writing feels easier than speaking. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy around work, childcare and travel.
