About Simon

Simon Caufield is an Integrative Counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. He holds a BSc (Hons) in counselling and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief and trauma, and with concerns such as relationship strain, parenting pressures and career stress.

Sessions are client-centred and interactive. He aims to build trust so people can speak freely about loss, illness, and hard emotions. The counsellor combines different ways of working rather than using one fixed method.

In practice he draws on person-centred listening, psychodynamic ideas about past patterns, and trauma-focused ways of working when needed. Cognitive approaches are used to help with anxious thoughts and low mood. That mix is chosen to match what each person brings to sessions.

People come for a range of issues from bereavement and cancer-related concerns to body image, guilt and caregiver stress. He also supports those experiencing loneliness, feelings of emptiness, and midlife questions. Work can include practical coping tools alongside talking about difficult memories.

Simon accepts international clients and offers sessions that suit different needs. He describes the first step as completing a short questionnaire and arranging an initial meeting to agree goals and how to work together.

How his therapeutic approaches work in online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on attentive listening and reflecting what the person says. It helps people feel heard and supports them to explore feelings about grief, relationship strain or life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thinking patterns and behaviours. It uses practical exercises to reduce anxiety, low mood and unhelpful reactions to stress.

Finding the right fit is part of the process. The counsellor will discuss goals, needs and preferences and together decide which approaches to try. That collaborative plan can change as progress is made and new issues arise.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time. Registered or accredited professionals often use a mix of talking and practical exercises adapted for remote sessions, helping people apply new skills between meetings.
