About Simone
Simone Heath is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 12 years' experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, intimacy issues and anger. Sessions are presented in a straightforward way and focus on helping people understand their reactions and make practical changes.
Simone draws on psychodynamic ideas alongside humanistic, person-centred and cognitive-behavioural approaches. She pays attention to patterns that repeat in relationships, how early attachments shape feelings, and how unconscious thoughts influence behaviour. Conversations look at what drives anger, resentment and low self-esteem so people can respond differently in day-to-day life.
Sessions are about increasing awareness and supporting independence. Simone encourages full emotional expression while helping people recognise recurring patterns. She offers both short-term work and longer-term talking therapy depending on what a person needs after an initial assessment.
Each session lasts around 45 minutes. The biography notes that sessions can be by video or voice call, and that clients choose whether they want shorter or longer-term support. Practical steps and small changes are woven into the talking work so people can try things between sessions.
Simone uses her experience to help people process loss, bereavement and trauma, and to build clearer boundaries and healthier ways of relating. People who struggle with overwhelming anger or with resentment that grows over time can bring those concerns into a therapy conversation to better understand and manage them.
Psychodynamic and talking approaches for online work
Simone uses psychodynamic therapy to explore patterns that repeat in relationships and how past attachments influence present feelings. This approach helps when anger, resentment or recurring relationship problems feel linked to earlier experiences. It looks at what is happening beneath the surface so people can change how they respond.She also brings humanistic and person-centred ideas into conversations, which focus on listening and supporting a person to express difficult feelings. Cognitive-behavioural elements are used at times to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small practical changes between sessions. Together these methods aim to balance understanding with doable steps for everyday life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Simone will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and will agree a way of working together. That collaborative decision helps shape whether sessions are shorter or longer-term and which techniques are tried first.
The biography notes sessions can be by video or by voice call and last about 45 minutes, though readers should confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family commitments, reduce travel time and allow for quicker check-ins when life is busy.
