As an Integrative Counsellor/Psychotherapist I understand that life can be unpredictable and often feel challenging and frustrating.
Due to all we experience we can often have moments where we feel low, anxious and/or depressed. Sometimes we can feel as though we have no where to turn and as though no one will ever understand or empathise with the way we feel. Often, we can feel that we don't want to share the true depth of how we are feeling with those around us. Sometimes, we have no one around us.
Working through these emotions together creates an opportunity to begin detangling those thoughts. Let's try and get through this together.
Therapy can help create space and perspective, a chance to breath and ultimately create a sense of balance.
I work in an integrative way putting relationship at the centre of therapy. You will be offered a non-judgemental space that is entirely yours in which your experience is valued and respected.
I provide short term and open-ended therapy.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Simone is amazing, I love her style and I always feel very comfortable in sharing with her. She’s brilliant at creating and maintaining a safe space to explore which always for deep reflection. Thank you Simone
Simone has been very personable and understanding. She proactively listens and remembers details that make a person who they are and what they want to overcome. I was so sceptical initially of going into therapy and better help as a whole. It's been a few sessions only but I am grateful to have met her. I realise I put too much stress on myself sometimes and I need to be kinder to myself. She guides me through my own emotions and helps me see the bigger picture by listening to my points of view. One thing I really like about our conversation is we go at my pace. She gives me ideas of what to do to solve problems when I feel at a loss and overwhelmed but the rest is up to me and my comfort level. She is also very relatable and I have not had this calming connection with any therapist before. It is still early days but I am very happy to finally meet someone I can be candid with and find relatable
Simone is so thoughtful and intuitive! She's an incredible listener and I feel so seen during our sessions. 10/10!
Lovely therapist, always there when I need her, amazing advice, been helping me get really a really rough period of my life
Simone is great, she understands the issues I’m trying to tackle and has worked with me every step of the way so far. We always manage to have a good laugh in our sessions and Simone is genuinely a lovely person to talk to! As someone completely new to Therapy and admittedly somewhat reluctant to seek help, I’ve been thoroughly impressed with how frictionless the Better Help experience has been. It’s taken the daunting prospect of opening up to someone and turned it into just a part of my weekly routine without even needing to leave my house. I don’t believe I’d have taken this step if my only option was traditional in office therapy. Big thanks to Simone and the Better Help team, I’m looking forward to the rest of my journey!
