About Simone

Simone Riviere is a counsellor who works in an integrative, relationship-focused way. She draws on different approaches to meet each person's needs and aims to make therapy a straightforward place to talk when life feels hard. She knows that people can feel low, anxious or overwhelmed at times.

Simone offers a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can say what they really think and feel. Sessions can be short term or open-ended depending on what someone needs.

Background and approach

Simone places the therapeutic relationship at the centre of the work. That means listening, reflecting and gently helping people untangle difficult thoughts and feelings. Practical ideas are offered alongside exploration of deeper patterns when that is helpful.

Her practice includes support for stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and addictions. She also helps with relationship and intimacy-related concerns, self-esteem, parenting strain, career questions and coping with life changes. Additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, codependency, communication problems, dissociation, domestic violence, and some aspects of sexual diversity such as kink and BDSM culture.

Simone also lists compassion fatigue, ADHD and bipolar among areas she addresses. Simone has been practising for 10 years and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She offers sessions in English to people in the United Kingdom and to international clients by online formats.

Therapeutic approaches for online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship where the client's experience is heard and respected; it helps with low mood, anxiety and relationship difficulties by prioritising what matters to the individual. Jungian Therapy looks at personal symbols and life narratives to uncover lasting patterns and meanings, which can support people coping with identity, grief or deep-seated emotional themes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Simone will discuss each method and together they will decide what feels most helpful based on goals and preferences. The first sessions often involve trying out ways of working and adjusting the approach as trust grows.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, which makes therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier between tasks, live chat offers a faster back-and-forth, and messaging supports shorter check-ins or ongoing written reflection. These options aim to fit around work, family and travel, and make regular sessions easier to maintain.
