About Simon
Simon Caufield is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and depression. He also supports those coping with major life changes, relationship and family concerns, parenting questions, trauma and intimacy-related difficulties. Simon uses a warm, approachable style and invites clients to talk through what matters to them.
He trained to degree level in counselling and holds a BSc (Hons) in counselling.
Background and approach
He is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and an accredited member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society, NCPS. His background includes focused work with bereavement and trauma, and with people affected by cancer and life-limiting illness. Sessions are client-centred and interactive.
That means Simon listens first and tailors the way he works to each person. He draws on person-centred ideas alongside psychodynamic thinking and trauma-focused approaches to make sense of patterns and painful experiences. Practical techniques from cognitive behavioural ideas may be used when someone wants clear tools to manage anxiety, low mood or unhelpful thoughts.
He balances those tools with space to reflect on deeper themes like loss, identity and life purpose. Simon aims to make the room calm and readable for people who are worried or overwhelmed. He encourages small steps, clear goals and a steady pace so people can feel safer talking about difficult topics and exploring change.

Approaches that suit online counselling
Client-centred therapy places the person at the heart of each session and focuses on listening, empathy and building trust. It helps when someone needs space to talk things through and feel heard before working on change.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, offers straightforward tools to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behaviours. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and managing stress with practical exercises and short experiments between sessions.
Psychodynamic ideas look at patterns that repeat in life and relationships, helping people understand where painful feelings come from. This approach can be helpful for long-standing issues such as grief, identity questions and recurring relationship difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and agree a blend of methods that fits each person's needs. That choice is made together and can change as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect - video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions for simpler check-ins, and live chat or text messages for shorter or more frequent contact. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, caring duties or other commitments and let people choose the way that feels most comfortable for them.
