Simone Riviere , BACP

Simone Riviere is an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist who understands that life can be unpredictable and at times deeply challenging. She works with people who experience feelings of low mood, anxiety or depression and recognises how isolating it can feel when there seems to be no one to turn to or no one who fully understands. She offers a compassionate, collaborative space in which those complex feelings can be explored and gradually untangled.

Placing the therapeutic relationship at the centre of her work, Simone aims to create a non-judgemental environment where a person's experience is listened to and valued. Therapy with her is presented as an opportunity to gain perspective, to breathe, and to work towards greater balance in day-to-day life. She supports both short-term focused work and open-ended therapy, adapting to the pace and needs of each individual.

Simone is a member of the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which is a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom. Her approach is integrative, drawing on established therapeutic models while keeping the client's experience and relationship at the heart of the process.

Approach-driven support available online

Simone draws on Client-Centered therapy, which emphasises an empathic, non-directive stance that helps people feel heard and understood while they explore their thoughts and emotions. This approach can be especially helpful for relationship issues, low mood, self-esteem and navigating life changes.

She also uses elements of Jungian therapy to help clients explore deeper patterns, personal symbols and recurring themes that shape behaviour and identity. This work can illuminate long-held dynamics and support meaningful personal insight.

Mindfulness therapy is incorporated to help people develop present-moment awareness and simple practices that reduce reactivity to stress and anxiety. Together these approaches form an adaptable, integrative framework aimed at addressing emotional, relational and developmental concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Simone will work collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals and preferences. She views therapy as a joint effort between therapist and client to find practical and personal pathways forward.

Online therapy offers practical benefits such as flexible scheduling and the ability to meet by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. For many people this accessibility makes it easier to maintain continuity of care and to work with licensed professionals and therapists from different locations.
