About Simone

Simone Domingues is a seasoned psychotherapist and counsellor whose practice reflects more than two decades of professional work across Brazil and Australia. She trained to an Honours level in psychology and developed additional clinical skills through Gestalt therapy training alongside a range of certified evidence-based approaches. Her practice is grounded in a client-centered philosophy, with sessions personalized to each person’s situation and delivered with empathy and respect.

Simone works with adults from diverse backgrounds, addressing concerns such as anxiety, relationship difficulties, stress, and other personal challenges. She emphasizes creating an environment where clients feel heard and supported while exploring pathways to greater self-understanding and wellbeing. In keeping with professional standards, her work is supervised and follows the ethical guidelines of the Australian Counselling Association (ACA).

To increase accessibility and convenience, Simone offers online counselling via Telehealth, enabling clients to receive care from their own locations. Her approach blends evidence-based techniques with a holistic, person-focused stance, aiming to help individuals navigate life transitions and build practical skills for day-to-day coping and growth.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Simone integrates several practical therapeutic methods to meet each client’s needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, and is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches skills for present-moment awareness and emotional regulation, helping people reduce reactivity and improve focus. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathetic, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist supports the client’s own capacity for insight and personal growth.

Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Simone works together with clients to explore which methods align with their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, and adapts the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical advantages for many clients. Video calls and phone sessions allow real-time conversations that closely mirror in-person meetings, while live chat and text-based messaging provide flexible options for those with busy schedules or mobility limitations. These formats make it easier to maintain regular sessions, access support from home, and integrate therapeutic work into everyday life with greater convenience.
