About Simone
Simone Riviere is a counsellor who uses an integrative, relationship-centred approach to help people manage anxiety and stress. She draws on a mix of talking therapies so sessions focus on what matters to each person. Simone offers both short-term work and open-ended therapy to suit different needs.
She keeps sessions straightforward and grounded. Conversations aim to untangle worrying thoughts and make space to breathe. Simone listens without judgement and encourages practical steps alongside exploration of feelings.
Background and approach
Her practice covers a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and relationship and intimacy-related issues. She also works with people facing addictions, career stress, parenting strain, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Other areas she attends to include attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, communication problems and family of origin matters.
Simone combines Client-Centred ways of working with Jungian ideas and psychodynamic thinking. She also uses mindfulness techniques and motivational interviewing to support change. This mix lets her adapt to what each person needs, from calming practices to deeper exploration of patterns.
Based in the United Kingdom, Simone brings ten years of experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sessions are available in English and she accepts international clients. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions to suit them.
How Simone’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on a respectful, accepting relationship. The therapist follows the person’s concerns, listens closely and helps them make sense of their feelings. This approach is useful for anxiety, low mood and relationship worries.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple practices to calm the body and steady attention. These techniques help with stress, sleep problems and racing thoughts by building small, practical skills that can be used between sessions.
Psychodynamic and Jungian ideas look at repeating patterns and deeper personal meaning. They help people who want to understand why certain feelings or relationship patterns keep returning, and can be paired with practical tools for day-to-day coping.
Choosing the right way of working is part of therapy. Simone will discuss different approaches and work collaboratively to find what fits a person’s goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as needs shift.
Online sessions make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can fit around short breaks or lower bandwidth, and live chat or text-based messaging can be useful for quick check-ins or for people who prefer writing. These options help people access therapy from different places and schedules.
