Background and approach

She also brings mindfulness practices into sessions to reduce reactivity and support better sleep. Simone’s background includes work in Brazil and Australia and a degree in psychology. That mix informs a flexible style that adapts to a person’s culture and life stage.

Her long experience means she can pull from many practical exercises when needed. Typical sessions begin with a quick check-in about what matters most that day. Simone works with a clear plan but adjusts it to suit how a person responds.

Small steps and simple homework are used to build confidence between meetings. She helps people navigate grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting stress, eating and body-image issues, ADHD-related challenges, and coping with major life changes. Simone also supports those dealing with chronic illness, caregiver strain and compassion fatigue.

People who choose Simone often want calm, down-to-earth guidance and tools they can use straight away. She aims to make therapy practical, understandable and relevant to everyday life.

Approaches That Translate Well Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It encourages choosing actions that reflect personal values, which can help with anxiety, depression and life transitions.

Client-Centred Therapy centres on listening and understanding a person’s experience. The therapist offers empathy and support while the person leads the pace and topics of the work, which is useful for building self-worth and working through grief or relationship concerns.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) gives practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It is often used for anxiety, sleep problems and low mood through short exercises and try-at-home tasks.

Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. Simone will talk through goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t worked before, then suggest methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can change over time as needs shift.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone appointments, live chat and text-based messaging to suit different lifestyles. Video works well when visual connection helps the work, phone can be better with low bandwidth, live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare and other commitments.
