Simone Riviere, BACP

Simone Riviere is an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist with 10 years of clinical experience and registration with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She recognizes that life often arrives with unexpected challenges and that feeling low, anxious or overwhelmed can leave people unsure where to turn. Many find it hard to share the full depth of their experience with those around them, or they may feel they have no one who truly understands. Simone offers a therapeutic relationship designed to help untangle those thoughts and emotions and to create space for clearer perspective.

Working in an integrative way, Simone places the relationship between therapist and client at the centre of the work, providing a compassionate and non-judgemental environment where each person s experience is respected. Therapy with her aims to restore a sense of balance, offer opportunities to breathe and to explore practical ways to cope with difficult feelings. She provides both short-term and open-ended therapy, adapting to each person s needs and pace so that clients can move toward greater steadiness and clarity in their lives.

Therapeutic Approaches and Accessible Online Care

Simone integrates several therapeutic approaches to tailor work to each person s needs. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a trusting, respectful relationship where the client s experience guides the process - it is helpful for people seeking empathetic support and clearer self-understanding. Jungian Therapy explores personal meaning, symbols and life patterns to help individuals make sense of recurring themes and transitions; it can be useful for people working with identity, life purpose or deep emotional material. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle attention to thoughts and feelings, offering practical tools for managing stress and difficult emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Simone works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best fit their goals, preferences and life circumstances, adjusting the work as trust and insight develop. Registered professionals and therapists often combine techniques in this way to respond to what emerges in therapy.

Online therapy with Simone is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which makes scheduling more flexible around work, family and other commitments. These options support access from different locations, allow sessions to fit into daily life, and provide multiple ways to communicate depending on comfort and need.
