About Simone
Simone Riviere is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with ten years' experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and depression. Simone also supports those facing addictions, intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strains, and issues around self-esteem and career changes.
Simone works in an integrative way and places the therapeutic relationship at the centre of sessions. She uses plain conversation to help people untangle confusing thoughts and strong feelings. Sessions can be short term or open-ended, depending on what a person wants to try.
Her approach draws on Client-Centred ideas that focus on the person's experience, plus Jungian and psychodynamic ways of looking at patterns that repeat across relationships. Simone also uses mindfulness techniques to help with overwhelming emotion and motivational interviewing to support change. She adapts these methods to the concerns someone brings.
People often come to her when they feel low, anxious, or alone with difficult emotions. She explains things directly and helps people notice patterns such as attachment worries, codependency, avoidance or control issues. Conversations include practical steps as well as looking at deeper feelings.
Sessions suit people wanting a steady, relationship-focused style of counselling that mixes talking work with mindfulness and practical goals. Simone works in English and accepts clients from the UK and internationally. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then book a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what someone says. Online sessions using this approach aim to make conversations feel straightforward and focused on the person's experience. Jungian-influenced work looks for recurring symbols and relationship patterns. This can help when someone wants to understand why certain relationship patterns repeat over time. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce overwhelm and improve emotional regulation. These techniques can be practiced between sessions to manage daily stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Simone treats that as a collaborative process. She will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then adapt her mix of methods to fit each person's needs and aims.
The original biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people find online counselling easier to fit into a busy day, allowing shorter check-ins, fewer journeys and the chance to work around work or family commitments. It can also make it simpler to try mindfulness exercises during the week and to carry practical steps from a session into everyday life.
