About Jon
Jon Simons is a counsellor who helps people manage anxiety and other common life stresses. He writes plainly and works with people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure about their next steps. He aims to create a space where practical change can start to happen.
With nine years of experience, Jon blends different ways of working to match what each person needs. He listens first, then offers gentle challenges and practical ideas when appropriate.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on what matters now and on small steps that can make daily life easier. Jon describes his approach as flexible and person-centred. He uses techniques from cognitive behavioural work to help with thoughts and behaviours, and attachment-informed ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings.
He also draws on motivational methods to help people find reasons to change. People come for many concerns, including stress, sleep problems, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, career doubts, addiction issues, grief and parenting pressures. He also supports those facing neurodiversity-related challenges such as autism and Asperger syndrome, and complex situations like co-morbidity and dissociation.
Sessions are offered in English and Jon accepts international clients. He works by video, phone, live chat or text messaging to make therapy fit a person’s life. New clients start by completing a short matching questionnaire and booking a session that suits their schedule.
Jon holds the NCPS credential and is based in the United Kingdom. He aims to be a steady presence while people work through change and build practical coping skills.
Therapeutic approaches and online working
Jon often uses client-centred work which focuses on listening closely and following the person's priorities. This approach helps people feel heard and allows sessions to centre on what they want to change.He also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at how thoughts and behaviours affect mood and actions. CBT is useful for practical issues such as anxiety, sleep problems and unhelpful routines.
Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Jon treats it as a collaborative task. He will discuss options, try different techniques and adjust the plan based on a person's goals and preferences rather than insisting on a single method.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or use less bandwidth. Live chat or messaging suits shorter check-ins and people who prefer typing to talking. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around daily life and access support from different locations.
