About Simone
Simone Ellington is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She holds NCPS and has three years of professional experience supporting people with stress, anxiety, sleep problems, low mood and motivation. Simone works in a neurodiversity-affirming way and speaks English.
She helps people who struggle with concentration, memory, self-esteem and confidence. Simone also supports those facing addiction, bipolar difficulties, relationship strain and career concerns. She offers practical help for parenting stress, compassion fatigue and coping with life changes.
Background and approach
Simone has experience with people who masked their natural responses for many years. She supports those experiencing burnout or a sense of disconnection after long periods of adapting to others' expectations. She also helps people who are adjusting to a late diagnosis so they can understand past experiences without blame.
Her style is collaborative and respectful rather than directive. Sessions focus on understanding how a person's mind works, reducing distress and unlearning unhelpful stories about themselves. Simone tailors each plan to the person’s strengths and energy levels.
In sessions she uses simple strategies and real-world tools. The aim is to build routines and ways of coping that fit everyday life. Simone offers support for a wide range of concerns including LGBT related issues and eating and anger difficulties.
Clients are invited to take small steps and to shape the work to their goals. The approach is practical and paced to each person’s needs.

How Simone's approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, encourages people to notice thoughts without being controlled by them and to take actions that match their values. It is often used for stress, anxiety and motivation struggles. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going and practising small changes to break those patterns. It can help with sleep, low mood and anxiety. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a respectful, non-judgemental relationship where the person leads the pace and focus of the work.Finding the right approach is part of the process and Simone works collaboratively to decide what fits best. She will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs with the person and adjust the style over time. The aim is to build useful tools that fit daily life rather than to follow a fixed method.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around daily routines and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins or phone-based conversations when a slower or less demanding session helps. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and tools for remote sessions so the work remains practical and focused on everyday needs.
