About Simone
Simone Riviere uses a relational, integrative approach that places the client at the centre of the work. She draws on several therapeutic styles to help people make sense of stress, anxiety, grief and other painful experiences. Simone aims to create a calm, accepting space where people can begin to talk through what feels overwhelming.
With ten years of practice, Simone works with adults facing depression, trauma and abuse, and relationship and intimacy-related difficulties.
Background and approach
She also supports people dealing with addictions, bipolar issues, sleep and eating concerns, and the strains of parenting or career change. Her additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, codependency, and complications from blended-family dynamics.
Simone uses Client-Centred Therapy to follow the person's pace and priorities, and draws on Jungian ideas to help people explore deeper personal themes. Mindfulness Therapy is offered to teach calm attention and reduce reactivity. Motivational Interviewing can help where change feels hard to start, and psychodynamic ideas are used to look at recurring patterns from the past.
She offers both short-term and open-ended counselling. Sessions aim to untangle thoughts, find clearer perspective, and build ways to cope day to day. People can expect a respectful, non-judgemental atmosphere where their experience is heard.
Simone is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and practises in the United Kingdom. Sessions are available in English and can be arranged online for international clients.

Online support
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Simone treats it as a collaboration. She will discuss your goals and preferences, test what feels useful, and adjust the mix of methods over time so the work fits your needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which make therapy more flexible. Video lets you meet face to face when depth and interaction matter. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins and people who prefer writing. These options help fit therapy around work, travel or family life while keeping the focus on progress and practical support.
