About Simone

Simone Simonetti offers a client-centred approach to counselling that focuses on the therapeutic relationship. He creates a warm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about anxiety, stress, relationships and feelings of emptiness or low mood. Simone's work aims to help people build confidence and cope better with life’s pressures.

He draws on Client-Centred Therapy alongside attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioural techniques to tailor sessions to each person. This means he listens closely, helps people spot repeating patterns, and introduces practical steps to try outside sessions when useful. Simone combines reflective conversation with straightforward strategies to manage symptoms such as anxiety or low mood.

His background includes three years practising as a counsellor with a BACP accreditation, working with concerns including trauma and abuse, relationship difficulties, LGBT issues, and eating or body image problems. He also supports people dealing with caregiving stress, chronic illness, and blended family challenges.

Sessions are delivered with attention to identity, culture and personal history. Simone pays particular attention to attachment issues, avoidant or dependent personality patterns, and codependency dynamics that affect relationships. He helps people understand how early experiences shape current behaviours.

People who choose Simone can expect a collaborative, down-to-earth process. He works at a steady pace and adapts the mix of reflective listening and practical tools to what each person needs. To begin, visitors are asked to use the site’s Start Therapy button and follow the matching and scheduling steps.

How Simone blends talk therapy and practical tools online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and responding to what matters most to the individual. It helps people feel heard, clarify their own goals, and build self-trust. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns formed in early relationships and how those affect current connections and anxiety, which can be useful for relationship and attachment issues.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioural changes. It is often used alongside the listening work to give clear steps for managing symptoms such as anxiety or low mood.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Simone will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and agree together which approaches to use. This is a collaborative process and can change as progress is made.

Please confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving or travel. It can also mean shorter check-ins when time is tight, and options that avoid commuting. Registered or accredited professionals can use a blend of reflective conversation and practical exercises to support progress over time.
