About Jody
Jody Simpson is a counsellor who uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside other approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety and low mood. She draws on six years of clinical experience and a BACP registration to offer direct, compassionate support. Jody aims to make the first step into therapy feel straightforward and manageable.
She creates a calm space where people can talk about what is most worrying them. Sessions focus on understanding feelings, identifying unhelpful patterns and finding steps that fit daily life.
Background and approach
Jody listens without judgement and helps clients find clearer ways to communicate and make decisions. Her work covers relationship difficulties and parenting strain, grief and loss, challenges linked to identity including LGBT concerns, and coping with life changes. She also supports people dealing with anger, attachment wounds, abandonment fears and feelings of emptiness.
Practical techniques from cognitive-behavioural and solution-focused approaches are used alongside deeper, emotion-focused work. Jody trained further in Transactional Analysis psychotherapy and integrates that perspective when it helps people understand long-standing patterns. Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth, with attention to both feelings and practical steps.
Sessions are offered in English and conducted from the United Kingdom. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions. Therapy uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and session formats include video calls, phone, live chat and text messaging.

Online support
How emotion-focused and practical approaches work online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name and sit with strong feelings to change patterns that cause pain. It is useful when emotions get in the way of relationships or daily life and when people feel stuck in recurring conflicts or withdrawal.Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being heard and understood. The counsellor offers warm, non-judgemental listening so clients can explore their own solutions and build self-trust. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers simple experiments to try new ways of coping with anxiety or low mood.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Jody will talk through what feels most helpful and try different ways of working if needed. The plan is shaped by the person’s goals, preferences and what shows practical benefit over time.
Online sessions give flexibility for busy schedules and different needs. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversations, phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is low, and live chat or text messaging support shorter check-ins and quick reflections. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family commitments and everyday life.
