About Jody
Jody Simpson uses a client-focused approach to help people manage stress and anxiety. She combines practical talking therapy with clear, goal-oriented steps. Jody aims to create a relaxed space where clients can say what they feel and start making small changes.
She has six years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Jody supports people dealing with relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, depression, grief and parenting stress.
How Jody works
She also helps with anger, coping with life changes and issues related to LGBT identity. Her work often addresses deeper patterns like abandonment, attachment concerns and problems with commitment or communication. She also supports people facing caregiver stress, dissociation, impulsivity and feelings of emptiness.
Jody tailors sessions to the specific problem and the person’s aims. Jody uses a blend of recognised approaches to suit each client. This can include client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts, emotionally-focused work around relationships, psychodynamic ideas about past influences, and brief solution-focused plans to move forward.
Sessions are straightforward and practical. Clients can expect to talk through what matters most, try simple tasks between sessions, and review progress together. Jody encourages honest conversation and gradual steps toward feeling more in control.

Therapeutic approaches for online support
Jody commonly uses client-centred therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy in her online work. Client-centred therapy means the counsellor listens closely and helps people find their own answers, which can be helpful for building confidence and exploring feelings. Cognitive behavioural therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours to reduce anxiety and low mood.Choosing the right approach is part of the process and will be done together. The counsellor will ask about the person's goals, day-to-day challenges and what they prefer. From there, she will suggest which methods to try and review what is helping as sessions progress.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets people use face-to-face conversation across distance. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Chat and messaging can suit those who prefer written conversation or need to fit therapy around a busy schedule. These options make it easier to maintain regular sessions and keep momentum during change.
