About Jon
Jon Simons is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with nine years of experience. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, sleeping problems, career worries, depression and relationship strains. He also supports clients coping with trauma, grief, addictions and codependency. Sessions are offered in English and he accepts international clients.
Jon keeps things direct and practical in sessions. He asks about what is happening now and what small steps might help. He balances listening with gentle challenge so people can try new ways of handling problems. He aims to give time and space for clients to think through decisions and changes.
His approach draws on attachment-based work, client-centred practice and cognitive behavioural techniques. That means attention to how relationships shape feelings, a focus on the person’s own goals, and learning concrete ways to shift thinking and behaviour. Motivational interviewing and psychodynamic ideas also influence how he talks about drive, patterns and early influences.
Jon has worked with a wide range of concerns, from eating and parenting struggles to ADHD and bipolar-related issues. He also lists additional focus areas such as autism and Asperger syndrome, blended family issues, co-morbidity and midlife crisis. He aims to meet people where they are and to plan therapy around their priorities.
Practical arrangements use a subscription model that clients can cancel at any time. To start, people choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability.
How his approaches work online and what to expect
Jon draws on attachment-based work, client-centred practice and cognitive behavioural techniques in his therapeutic conversations. Attachment-based ideas look at how early and current relationships shape feelings and reactions, which can be useful for concerns like codependency and relationship patterns. Client-centred practice focuses on the person’s own goals and experience, offering a listening space where the client’s priorities guide each session. Cognitive behavioural techniques give clear methods to notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviours to reduce anxiety or low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jon will discuss what feels most useful and try things collaboratively, adjusting as goals and circumstances change. That means clients help shape both the aims and the methods used in therapy.
The original profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when that suits, and reduce travel time. It can also make it simpler to continue therapy if clients move locations, since international clients are accepted. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt the approaches above to suit remote conversations and day-to-day practicalities.
