More about Simone
- 3 years' experience
- Female
- NCPS
I am a UK-credentialed counsellor with experience supporting clients with stress, anxiety, sleep difficulties, low mood, motivation, self-esteem, confidence, and challenges with concentration and memory. I work in a neurodiversity-affirming way and support individuals with ADHD, autism spectrum conditions (ASD), dyslexia, and other learning and neurodevelopmental differences.
I have particular experience working with individuals who have spent much of their lives masking or adapting to meet external expectations, and who may now be experiencing burnout, overwhelm, or a sense of disconnection from themselves. I also support clients who are exploring or adjusting to a late diagnosis, helping them make sense of past experiences with compassion rather than self-blame.
My approach is not about fixing or changing who you are. Instead, we focus on understanding how your mind works, reducing distress, unlearning unhelpful narratives, and building strategies that honour your needs, strengths, and energy levels. I tailor each session and treatment plan to your unique experiences and goals.
Starting therapy can take courage — especially if you have previously felt misunderstood, dismissed, or pressured to mask. I aim to offer a safe, respectful, and non-judgmental space where you can show up as yourself and feel genuinely understood.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.

- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
