Jody Simpson is a counsellor who blends client-centred listening with focused therapeutic tools. She holds a BACP credential and brings six years of clinical experience. Jody aims to make the first step feel less daunting and supports people who are ready to talk things through.
Jody keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She offers a calm space for people to share worries about stress, anxiety, depression and self-esteem. Relationship strains, parenting pressures, grief and LGBT concerns are also part of her work.
Background and approach
She pays attention to how past experiences shape present feelings and reactions. Her approach uses a mix of talking and goal-focused methods. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps spot unhelpful thinking and build new habits.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at feelings in relationships and how to communicate needs more clearly. Psychodynamic ideas help uncover patterns that repeat over time. Jody also draws on solution-focused techniques when people want quick, practical changes.
Sessions can explore abandonment, attachment, commitment and communication problems, as well as caregiver stress and anger. She talks through coping strategies for dissociation, impulsivity, guilt and shame. People usually work with Jody to set clear, realistic goals.
She encourages small steps that can make daily life easier. Her style is warm and direct, aiming to help people feel steadier and more able to face life changes.

Sessions & fees
Approaches that guide online sessions and practical support
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience without judgement. It helps people feel heard and build self-awareness, which can reduce stress and improve confidence.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours connect. It offers tools to spot unhelpful thinking and to practise new responses, which is useful for anxiety, depression and anger.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) examines emotions in relationships and how people express needs. It can help when communication problems, attachment issues or commitment worries cause repeated conflict.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jody will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then try methods that match those needs. This remains collaborative so adjustments can be made as progress is observed.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video suits a full conversation and visual cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for quick check-ins and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, parenting and daily life.
