Simone Heath, BACP

Simone Heath is a counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), offering 12 years of experience working across several therapeutic traditions. She draws on psychodynamic, humanistic, person-centred and cognitive behavioural approaches to meet each client’s needs, adapting methods to suit individual circumstances and goals. Her work frequently addresses loss, bereavement, depression, anxiety, self-esteem, anger, attachment patterns and trauma, with a particular interest in exploring unconscious dynamics, identity, autonomy and self-development.

Simone emphasises supporting clients toward greater awareness, independence and full expression. She values open-ended talking therapy and believes in enabling individuals to follow their own pace toward autonomy. Sessions are designed to provide a space for exploring patterns, attachments, grief, addiction, intimacy-related concerns and life changes, helping clients to identify and work with recurring themes that affect daily life.

Each session lasts approximately 45 minutes and can be conducted by video or voice call. During an initial assessment Simone and the client agree whether short-term or longer-term work is most appropriate, and she tailors the approach to support the individual’s journey.

Psychodynamic and Person-Centred Support Available Online

Psychodynamic therapy focuses on exploring unconscious patterns and the influence of past relationships on present behaviour. Simone uses this approach to help clients uncover recurring themes, understand attachment dynamics and gain insight into sources of anxiety, grief and relational difficulties.

Person-centred work emphasises empathic listening and the client’s own capacity for growth. In this approach Simone creates a supportive, non-directive environment that encourages self-expression and helps clients build autonomy, self-esteem and clearer personal direction.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Simone collaborates with each client during an initial assessment to identify goals, preferences and the best-fit methods, and she adjusts the work as needs evolve.

Online therapy with Simone is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier for clients to maintain continuity of care, access sessions from home and choose the format that feels most helpful to their progress.
