About Simone
Simone Riviere is a BACP counsellor with ten years' experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief and depression, and a wide range of other difficulties including addictions, ADHD and issues around intimacy.
She describes therapy as a place to talk and untangle difficult thoughts. Sessions are offered in an integrative way that places the relationship between counsellor and client at the centre. Simone offers both short-term and open-ended work depending on what the person needs.
Her approach draws from several methods, including client-centred and psychodynamic ways of working, as well as mindfulness and motivational interviewing. That mix guides how she listens, reflects back patterns, and helps people notice what keeps problems repeating.
Practical concerns such as sleeping, eating, career strain or parenting stress are commonly discussed. Simone also works with attachment issues, abandonment, communication problems, codependency and the effects of trauma. Sessions aim to bring clearer perspective and small, useful changes rather than quick fixes.
People often come to talk about feelings of emptiness, problems with intimacy, or the impact of past family relationships. Simone will help identify patterns and consider next steps that fit a person's life and commitments.
Sessions are held in English and Simone accepts international clients. Before booking, people are advised to check current session options and any local considerations that may affect how they meet.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely and reflecting what a person says, helping them feel understood and clarify what matters. It is useful for anxiety, relationship concerns and for people who want a calm conversational space. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and support sleeping and stress management. It can help with low mood and ongoing worry. Psychodynamic ideas look at repeating patterns and early relationships to make sense of problems that return over time and to reduce their impact on current life.Choosing a therapeutic approach is usually collaborative. Simone will talk with each person about goals, past experience and practical limits, and then suggest ways of working. That discussion can change over time as needs and goals shift, and she reviews approaches with clients as work proceeds.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm which formats are offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare or travel, and it can reduce time spent on commuting. Some formats use less bandwidth and allow a shorter check-in, while others support more in-depth conversation. Ask about options when you schedule to find what fits your routine.
