Jody Simpson, BACP

Jody Simpson is a UK-licensed therapist with six years of clinical experience who works compassionately with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, depression, and life transitions. She offers practical support for relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, grief, anger, and issues related to identity and the LGBT community, as well as more specific difficulties such as abandonment, attachment and commitment worries, and coping with caregiver stress. Jody creates an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and emotions can be explored and where clients are encouraged to take the steps that feel right for them.

Her practice draws on a range of therapeutic approaches, allowing her to tailor work to each person’s needs. Jody is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), which reflects her professional standing in the UK. She has also completed a further three years of training in Transactional Analysis psychotherapy, deepening her skills in understanding interpersonal patterns and internal dynamics.

Jody supports people at different stages of change, whether someone is seeking short-term coping strategies or deeper work on long-standing patterns. She aims to work collaboratively, helping clients build confidence, improve communication, and manage stress so they can move toward more fulfilling and resilient ways of living.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Jody Simpson integrates client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy to meet a range of needs. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a warm, empathetic relationship and supports people in exploring their feelings and values so they can grow at their own pace; it is helpful for building self-esteem, improving relationships, and navigating life changes. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical tools that can reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms and improve coping with stress.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy itself. Jody works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their goals, preferences, and the specific challenges they bring, adapting techniques over time as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Jody is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit therapy around work, family, and daily routines. These options make it easier to maintain regular sessions, access support from home, and try different communication styles to see what works best for the individual. Registered professionals and therapists can deliver meaningful, effective work through these formats while tailoring the pace and focus to the client’s needs.
