Simone Heath , BACP

Simone Heath is a counsellor registered with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - who brings 12 years of practical experience to her work. She draws on psychodynamic, humanistic, person-centred and cognitive behavioural methods, adapting each session to reflect the needs and goals of the individual. Her practice focuses on helping people understand recurring patterns, explore attachment issues and bring unconscious material into awareness so change can emerge.

Simone has supported clients through a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, bereavement and grief, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, anger, addiction, intimacy-related issues and changes to self-esteem. She values open-ended talking therapy and places emphasis on building clients' independence, self-awareness and capacity for full emotional expression. Sessions typically last approximately 45 minutes and may take place by video or voice call, with the client able to choose short-term or longer-term work.

During an initial assessment Simone tailors an approach that best supports each person’s journey, discussing whether a time-limited plan or ongoing therapeutic relationship will better meet their aims. Her practice aims to create a space where exploration and personal development can be pursued at the client’s pace.

Psychodynamic insights and remote therapy options

Simone uses psychodynamic work to help clients explore how unconscious patterns, early attachments and repeated emotional responses influence current relationships and wellbeing. This approach involves reflecting on feelings, dreams and past experiences to increase self-understanding and reduce unhelpful patterns, which can be useful for issues such as trauma, recurring relationship difficulties, anxiety and depression.

Alongside psychodynamic work, Simone draws on person-centred principles that prioritise the client's experience and personal growth. This approach focuses on empathic listening, emotional expression and supporting autonomy so clients can clarify values and make meaningful changes in their lives.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Simone works with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, and she adjusts the therapeutic plan over time as new priorities emerge.

Online therapy with Simone is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier for people to access consistent, ongoing support from licensed professionals while balancing work, family or other commitments.
