About Simone
Simone Riviere is an integrative counsellor who places the relationship between therapist and client at the centre of the work. She offers a calm and non-judgemental space where people can talk about feeling low, anxious, overwhelmed or stuck. Simone aims to help people find small changes that make day-to-day life easier and more manageable.
She uses a mix of approaches to suit each person. Sessions focus on what matters to the individual and on practical steps they can try between meetings. Simone offers both short-term courses of work and open-ended therapy depending on what the person needs.
Over ten years of practice have shaped a style that values listening and building trust first. She helps people untangle worrying thoughts and find better ways of coping with stress, grief, relationship trouble and changes in life. Sleeping difficulties and issues with self-esteem and motivation are also areas she regularly addresses.
Her training and registration are recorded with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Simone works in the United Kingdom and supports people who live elsewhere as well, offering sessions in English. She aims to work at a pace that feels right for each person.
People often begin by sharing what brought them to therapy and what they hope to change. Simone then shapes the work using client-centred conversation alongside psychodynamic, Jungian and mindfulness ideas to help people understand patterns and try new ways of living.
How Simone’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what a person says so they feel heard and understood; it helps with anxiety, low mood and relationship worries by building trust and clarity. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts and bodily feelings, which can ease stress, improve sleep patterns and reduce reactivity. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at recurring patterns and past experiences to help people make sense of difficult emotions and repeated behaviours.Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Simone will work with the person to understand their goals, preferences and everyday constraints, then recommend a way of working that fits. That plan can change as therapy progresses so methods are adapted to what helps most.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also be useful for people who live elsewhere, since Simone accepts international clients. Practical arrangements are agreed when scheduling so sessions fit around work, family and rest routines.
