Simone Ellington, NCPS

Simone Ellington is a UK-credentialed counsellor with an NCPS credential who supports people facing stress, anxiety, sleep problems, low mood, motivation challenges, and difficulties with concentration and memory. She practices in a neurodiversity-affirming way, working with individuals who have ADHD, autism spectrum conditions, dyslexia, and other learning and neurodevelopmental differences, and she tailors her work to each person’s unique needs and strengths.

Simone has particular experience with people who have spent much of their lives masking or adapting to meet external expectations and who now find themselves experiencing burnout, overwhelm, or a sense of disconnection from who they are. She also helps those coming to terms with a late diagnosis, guiding them to reframe past experiences with compassion rather than blame.

Her approach is not aimed at fixing or changing identity. Instead, Simone focuses on helping clients understand how their minds work, reduce distress, unlearn unhelpful narratives, and build practical strategies that respect their energy levels and priorities. Each session and treatment plan is adapted to the individual’s goals and experiences, and she aims to create a respectful, non-judgmental space where people can show up as themselves and feel genuinely understood.

Therapeutic Approaches and Flexible Online Support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify their values and to take committed action toward a meaningful life even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It can help with anxiety, low mood, burnout, and the sense of disconnection that sometimes follows masking or long-term stress.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an empathic, non-judgmental space in which the person’s own experiences guide the pace and focus of therapy. It is especially useful for rebuilding self-understanding, improving self-esteem, and exploring identity after a late diagnosis.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, supporting work on sleep difficulties, concentration, motivation, and mood. It often complements more exploratory approaches by adding structured strategies and skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Simone works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts techniques over time so the work remains relevant and manageable.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to access regular support around work, family, or energy constraints. These formats provide flexibility for scheduling, allow continuity of care for international clients, and enable clients to engage in ways that suit their communication style and daily life.
