About

About Simone

Simone Riviere is a counsellor who places the therapeutic relationship at the centre of her work. She draws on ten years of experience to help people who feel anxious, low, stuck or overwhelmed. Simone is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP - and works from a perspective that values each person’s unique story.

She offers a non-judgemental space where people can talk about stress, depression, grief, trauma, addictions and relationship or intimacy concerns.

Background and approach

Simone also supports those dealing with sleep or eating difficulties, anger, self-esteem issues, career strain and the practical stresses of parenting. LGBT concerns are listed among her focus areas and she notes experience with neurodiversity-related matters such as autism and Asperger Syndrome. Simone describes her practice as integrative.

That means she uses different approaches to suit the person in front of her rather than relying on one fixed method. Her work often involves helping people untangle difficult thoughts and feelings and create a clearer sense of balance in daily life. She offers both short-term work and open-ended therapy depending on what someone needs.

People can expect reflective conversations that connect emotional experience to everyday choices and relationships. Practical steps and gentle exploration are mixed depending on the issue brought into the room. Simone welcomes those coping with life changes such as separation, bereavement, career shifts or the aftermath of abuse.

She also lists additional focus areas including attachment or abandonment issues, codependency, communication problems and aspects of alternative sexual culture such as BDSM and kink.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches that translate to online counselling

Client-centred work focuses on listening and following the client’s lead. The counsellor reflects back what is said and helps people find their own answers, which can be helpful for worries about relationships, self-esteem and life changes.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts and bodily feelings without getting swept away. It can reduce rumination and help with anxiety, sleep problems and the emotional aftermath of trauma.

Psychodynamic therapy looks at patterns from past relationships and how they show up now. Bringing those patterns into the open can change how someone relates to themselves and others and support longer-term shifts in mood and behaviour.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences and what has or hasn't helped before. From there she will suggest ways of working and adjust the style as therapy progresses so it fits the client's needs.

Check which session formats are offered before booking, as the biography does not list them. Many people find online counselling helps fit therapy into a busy life - it can make scheduling easier, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Confirm the available formats so sessions match everyday routines and practical needs.
