About Simone
Simone Riviere is a counsellor who uses an integrative, relationship-focused approach to help people manage stress and anxiety. She draws on a mix of therapeutic ideas to make sessions feel practical and personal. Simone explains things in everyday language and aims to create space to breathe when life feels overwhelming.
Simone spends time listening to what matters most to each person. She offers both short-term work and longer open-ended therapy, depending on what is needed. In sessions she aims to untangle difficult thoughts and feelings so people can start to feel steadier.
Her practice covers a wide range of concerns including depression, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions and relationship difficulties. Simone also supports people dealing with sleep and eating problems, anger, self-esteem and challenges linked to neurodiversity such as autism and Asperger syndrome.
Her approach draws on client-centred listening, Jungian ideas about meaning, mindfulness to calm the body and motivational interviewing to explore change. Psychodynamic perspectives also inform how she thinks about patterns that repeat over time. Simone aims to tailor these ways of working to each person in the room.
Simone holds BACP as a listed credential and brings around ten years of experience. She works from the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. If someone is unsure whether this style will help, Simone encourages a first conversation to see if it feels like a good fit.
How Simone's approaches work in online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy is based on warm, non-judgemental listening and helping people to make sense of their own experience; it can help with anxiety, relationship worries and low mood. Jungian Therapy looks at symbols and personal meaning to explore deeper patterns and life themes, which can be useful for grief, identity questions and persistent emotional patterns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and help manage panic and anxiety.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Simone will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and together they will decide which methods to try. She adapts the mix of listening, mindfulness and exploratory therapy to suit what the client needs at that time.
Confirm the exact session options before booking as the profile does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - it can reduce travel time, allow a shorter check-in during a work break, or offer a quieter setting without needing to travel. Discuss practical arrangements with Simone when you schedule to find what works best.
