About Simone
Simone Riviere is a counsellor who works in an integrative way with people feeling low, anxious, or unsure how to move forward. She places the therapeutic relationship at the heart of her work and aims to give each person a non-judgemental space to be heard. Simone explains feelings plainly and helps untangle thoughts that feel overwhelming.
Sessions can give breathing room, clearer perspective and a steadier day-to-day rhythm. She offers both short-term focused work and longer open-ended therapy, depending on what someone needs.
Background and approach
Her practice draws on several approaches including client-centred listening, Jungian ideas about symbols and meaning, and mindfulness for grounding in the present. Simone also uses elements of motivational interviewing and psychodynamic thinking to help people understand patterns that repeat in their lives. Over ten years she has supported people facing stress, anxiety, depression and grief.
She also helps with relationship and intimacy-related issues, addictions, sleep and eating concerns, and career or self-esteem worries. Additional focuses include attachment and family of origin issues, abandonment, and neurodiversity considerations such as autism and Asperger syndrome. Sessions are offered in English and Simone works with international clients from the United Kingdom.
People can expect clear, ordinary language in sessions and practical steps they can try between meetings. To begin, the usual process involves a brief matching questionnaire and scheduling a first appointment. From there Simone and the client decide together how often to meet and which approaches to use.

Online support
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple ways to steady attention and reduce overwhelm. Short exercises can help with sleep, stress and managing strong emotions between sessions.
Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns that repeat across relationships and time. Talking these through can reveal why certain situations trigger intense reactions and help people try different responses.
Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods suit a person's concerns, goals and preferences. That may mean trying one style for a few sessions and adapting as things change.
Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone calls work when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a quicker check-in, and text-based messaging suits people who prefer writing. These options support flexibility and steady progress on personal goals.
