Simone Ellington is a UK counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, low mood and sleep problems. She also supports adults dealing with attention and concentration difficulties, motivation and self-esteem. Simone uses plain language and practical steps to help people feel steadier day to day.

She works in a neurodiversity-affirming way and supports people with ADHD, autism spectrum conditions and other learning differences. Simone often helps those who have spent years masking or adapting to expectations, who now feel burnt out, overwhelmed or disconnected from themselves.

Background and approach

She also supports people processing a late diagnosis, helping them reframe past experiences with less self-blame. Sessions are shaped around each person’s needs and energy levels. Simone focuses on understanding how a person’s mind works, reducing distress, unlearning unhelpful stories and building coping strategies.

She combines practical tools with space to reflect and make sense of difficult feelings. Her work draws on a mix of approaches so people can try methods that suit them. Simone aims for clear, simple tasks between sessions that can be put into everyday life.

The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes. Simone holds the credential NCPS, which is shown after her name. She has three years of experience and works with adults from the United Kingdom and beyond.

Sessions are offered in English and can be arranged online in various formats.

Approaches that guide online work and what they do

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck. It focuses on values and small steps that move someone toward the life they want, which suits stress, anxiety and adjustment after diagnosis.

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens without judgment and helps people make sense of their feelings, which can help with low mood, self-esteem and processing life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Simone will discuss different methods and try options together to see what feels most helpful. The process is collaborative and tailored to the person’s goals and energy levels.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be quicker check-ins or suit lower bandwidth, and messaging can work for shorter updates or when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while keeping care consistent.
