About Jody
Jody Simpson offers a warm, client-focused approach that centres on each person’s needs. She uses methods that help people talk through difficult feelings and find clearer ways to cope. Jody aims to make the first step less daunting and to support people as they work toward change.
She draws on several practical approaches, including client-centred work that prioritises the person’s own pace and perspective. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to address anxious thoughts and unhelpful behaviour patterns.
Background and approach
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps when strong emotions are getting in the way of close connections. Over six years Jody has helped people with stress, anxiety and depression. She also supports those dealing with grief, anger and major life changes.
Relationship concerns, self-esteem and parenting pressures are areas she frequently addresses. Jody works with issues linked to attachment, abandonment and commitment worries. She also supports people facing caregiver stress, communication problems and feelings of emptiness or guilt and shame.
Practical tools and short-term problem solving are combined with deeper work when that feels right. Jody is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sessions are offered in English and are arranged around each person’s circumstances.
Taking a step can feel hard - she aims to make it straightforward and manageable.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. That collaborative approach means plans can change as progress is made or new needs appear.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different situations. Video calls are useful for in-depth conversation and non-verbal cues, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a busy day, and chat or messaging can suit quick check-ins or those who prefer writing. These options provide flexibility for people balancing work, family or other commitments.
