About Simone
Simone Riviere is a BACP counsellor with ten years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger and relationship difficulties, and supports those facing grief, trauma, depression and addictive behaviours. Simone also works with issues around self-esteem, parenting, sleep and eating concerns, and with people exploring sexual identity and alternative sex culture.
Simone practises in an integrative way and places the therapeutic relationship at the centre of the work. She uses a mix of approaches to suit what a person brings into sessions. Simone offers both short-term work and open-ended therapy depending on what is needed.
In practical sessions she focuses on helping people untangle difficult feelings and reduce the intensity of reactions. That might look like talking through recent events, noticing bodily responses, or trying different ways to handle frustrating situations. She aims to give space and perspective so people can breathe and find more balance in everyday life.
Her background includes approaches drawn from client-centred work, Jungian ideas, mindfulness and psychodynamic thinking. Motivational interviewing also informs how she supports change and decision-making.
Simone works with a wide range of concerns including ADHD, attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, dissociation and family of origin matters. She accepts international clients and runs therapy from the UK, with sessions conducted in English.

How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and supporting a person to find their own answers. Online sessions using this approach usually involve open conversation and reflective listening to help clarify feelings and choices.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity. In an online session this can include guided exercises to notice bodily sensations and slow down strong responses like anger or overwhelm.
Simone treats finding the right approach as part of the work. She will discuss options with the client and together decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. That makes the process collaborative and practical rather than prescriptive.
The original profile does not specify which session formats are offered, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make sessions easier to fit into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins if needed, and avoid travel time. It also lets people try different ways of working, such as guided mindfulness exercises or conversational sessions, to see what helps most.
