About Simone
Simone Riviere is a BACP counsellor with ten years' practical experience based in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship issues, grief, depression, addictions and anger. Simone also offers support for concerns such as self-esteem, parenting pressures, career strain and coping with life changes.
She describes her work as integrative, with relationship at the centre of therapy. Simone aims to help people slow down when feelings become overwhelming. Sessions are used to talk through difficult thoughts, notice patterns and make small, manageable changes in day-to-day life.
Simone uses a mix of approaches drawn from client-centred work, Jungian ideas and mindfulness practice. That means she pays attention to what a person brings each week, notices emotional and bodily responses, and explores themes that repeat across relationships and life events. Practical conversation techniques are used alongside reflective exercises.
Her experience includes supporting people with trauma and abuse, attachment and abandonment issues, codependency and communication problems. Simone also works with people dealing with complex topics such as sexual subcultures, autism and dissociation. She provides both short-term work and open-ended therapy depending on what a person wants.
Sessions are aimed at helping people gain perspective, reduce reactivity and improve how they manage difficult moments. Simone encourages clear, honest conversation about what is getting in the way of calmer responses. If someone is unsure where to begin she asks a few questions to clarify immediate priorities and next steps.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Simone often combines client-centred work and mindfulness practice in her online sessions. Client-centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and helping a person find their own way forward, which suits people who need clearer emotional perspective. Mindfulness Therapy brings attention to the present moment and bodily sensations, and can help when anger shows up as physical tension or racing thoughts.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Simone treats choosing methods as a collaborative process. She will talk through goals, try different ways of working and adjust the approach to fit what someone finds most helpful.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Simone aims to structure sessions so they fit around practical life demands while focusing on reducing reactivity and improving communication.
