About Simone

Simone Riviere is a counsellor who works in an integrative way with a focus on relationship. She offers a non-judgemental space where a person can talk about feeling low, anxious, overwhelmed or stuck. Simone frames therapy as a chance to breathe, gain perspective and find more balance in day-to-day life.

Simone draws on a mix of approaches so sessions can be tailored to what each person needs. She centres the relationship in her work and listens for the patterns that keep causing pain. That might mean looking at past attachments, current relationship dynamics or day-to-day habits that maintain stress.

She supports people with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, addictions and issues around intimacy and identity. Additional areas covered include ADHD, attachment and abandonment, blended family and family-of-origin difficulties, and sexual cultures such as kink and BDSM when these relate to a person’s wellbeing.

Simone offers both short-term and open-ended counselling. She uses techniques from Client-Centred, Jungian, Mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing and Psychodynamic approaches as appropriate. Over time the work aims to help people identify unhelpful patterns and make concrete changes they can use in everyday life.

Simone has around 10 years of practice and is registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She is based in the United Kingdom and works with English-speaking clients, including people outside the UK.

How Simone uses therapeutic approaches online

Client-Centred work places the person and their experience at the heart of each session, giving space for someone to be heard and understood and helping build trust. This approach suits worries about stress, low mood, relationship strain and exploring identity.

Mindfulness Therapy brings simple practices that help a person notice thoughts and bodily feelings without immediately reacting. It can be useful for anxiety, anger, sleep problems and managing overwhelm.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Simone will help the person try different ways of working and choose what feels most helpful given their goals, preferences and day-to-day needs. That decision is made collaboratively and can change over time as progress is reviewed.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions more easily around work and family commitments and reducing travel time. Online work can also make it simple to have shorter check-ins when needed or to meet from different locations. Please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking so the practical arrangements meet your needs.
