About Simone
Simone Ellington is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people facing stress, anxiety and sleep difficulties. She holds NCPS and has three years of practice helping clients with low mood, motivation, self-esteem and issues with concentration and memory. She works in a neurodiversity-affirming way and supports people with ADHD, autism spectrum conditions, dyslexia and other learning differences.
Simone understands how masking and adapting to expectations can lead to burnout and a sense of disconnection from oneself.
Background and approach
Simone helps people make sense of a late diagnosis and the emotions that follow. She focuses on reducing distress, unlearning unhelpful narratives and building practical strategies that respect energy levels and strengths. Her work emphasises compassion rather than self-blame.
Sessions are tailored to the individual. Simone listens, reflects, and collaborates to form a plan that fits each person's goals and circumstances. She does not aim to change who someone is, but to help them manage challenges more effectively.
People who have felt misunderstood or pressured to mask may find her approach reassuring. Simone aims to create a respectful, non-judgemental space where clients can show up as they are and explore what they need next.
How therapy approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small, practical steps so people can live more in line with what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts, behaviours and feelings to spot patterns that increase anxiety or low mood and then tries different actions to shift those patterns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Simone will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences, and together they will decide which methods to try. This collaborative process means plans can change as progress is made or new issues emerge.
Online sessions can be held by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a short break at work. Live chat or messaging suits quick check-ins or people who prefer not to use video. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments.
