About Jody
Jody Simpson is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who draws on six years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem and depression. Jody describes therapy as a place to talk honestly about what matters and to try small, practical changes that make daily life easier.
She aims to build an open, non-judgemental space where clients can share thoughts and feelings. Conversations are guided by what the client brings, with a mix of practical techniques and reflective work.
Background and approach
That means looking at unhelpful thinking patterns, feelings that get in the way, and repeated relationship difficulties. Jody uses client-centred ways of working to keep the session focused on the person in front of her. She also draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to spot thinking habits and try new reactions.
Emotionally focused and psychodynamic ideas inform how she explores attachment and relational patterns. Sessions tend to be straightforward and conversational. Jody will help set clear, achievable goals and review progress each step of the way.
She also works with solution-focused tools when people want quick strategies to manage immediate problems. Jody holds BACP accreditation, which appears in her professional details. She offers sessions in English and does not accept international clients.
The step into therapy can feel daunting, and she aims to make the first steps as simple as possible.
How Jody’s approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person without judgement, helping clients feel heard and clearer about their goals. It is useful for anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship worries and underpins how sessions are led.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps spot unhelpful thinking and testing new responses. It offers concrete steps to reduce anxious thoughts and build daily routines that feel more manageable.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options and decide together what fits your needs, goals and preferences rather than using a one-size-fits-all model.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is helpful for in-depth conversation and reading non-verbal cues, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat or messaging suits people who prefer brief check-ins, written reflection, or flexibility during a busy day. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work and family routines while keeping the focus on practical progress and emotional understanding.
