More about Simone

  • 27 years' experience
  • Female
  • BACP



My name is Simone, and I am an Integrated Psychotherapist.

I run a small practice in the heart of Cornwall, UK, called The Holistic Path Practice, where healing is about honoring the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. As an integrated psychotherapist, hypnotherapist, Reiki healer, and acupuncturist, I hold a degree in integrated psychotherapy and have extensive training across multiple therapeutic approaches.

Currently, I am working toward becoming a neuropsychologist. I am passionate about creating a safe, adaptable space for each client, allowing for meaningful exploration and growth within a personalised framework.

At the core of my work is the therapeutic relationship, which I believe forms the foundation for genuine healing and transformation. This connection nurtures a safe, non-judgmental space, grounded in empathy, congruence, and unconditional positive regard. Within this environment, you can feel accepted and supported enough to uncover your true, authentic self and build resilience to face challenges, grow, and develop. By building a trusting and compassionate therapeutic bond, we work collaboratively to empower you to cultivate self-awareness, resilience, and confidence on your journey toward well-being.

My practice integrates a variety of evidence-based approaches, including person-centered therapy, solution-focused therapy, the Human Givens approach, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), the psychodynamic approach, the Rewind Technique, hypnotherapy, and more.

I specialize in addiction, trauma, relationships, and phobias, and I am deeply committed to supporting clients through challenging times. My approach is holistic, bringing mind, body, and spirit together to help you embrace your true, authentic self, while enhancing your relationship with yourself and others.

Our first meeting will focus on getting to know you and understanding your unique needs. Together, we will complete initial paperwork, including an assessment, the therapeutic contract, and well-being audits, to guide us in tailoring your treatment plan. This plan will serve as our starting point and will be continuously refined as you progress toward your goals. Each session will incorporate psychoeducation as part of your journey.

Whether you are seeking healing, transformation, or a deeper understanding of yourself, I look forward to walking this path with you.

About online counseling

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.

I've had a very bad time recently and my sense of self was damaged i thought beyond repair. To date I've had two sessions with Simone Hills and her kind, gentle nature allowed me to feel comfortable and secure to open up and be honest very quickly and engage my feelings and thoughts directly. I have a long way to go but I'm highly confident that Simone's empathy and expertise will help me reach a better place
