Simone Riviere uses a relationship-focused, integrative approach to therapy. She frames sessions around the person in front of her and aims to create a calm space where people can talk about what feels hard. Simone has a BACP accreditation and ten years of experience working with emotional pain and life changes.

Simone helps people who feel anxious, low or overwhelmed by stress. She supports those dealing with grief, trauma, relationship strain, addiction and mood challenges.

Background and approach

She also works with concerns such as eating and sleeping problems, anger, self-esteem, ADHD and career stress. Her work blends client-centred listening with psychodynamic and Jungian ideas about how past experiences shape present feelings. Mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing are used when helpful to build clearer goals and steady everyday coping.

Sessions can be short-term or open-ended depending on what someone needs. Simone aims to offer a non-judgemental space where people can slowly untangle difficult thoughts and feelings. She talks through patterns, helps set manageable steps and supports people as they try new ways of coping.

The emphasis is on relationship and practical progress. She provides therapy from the United Kingdom and accepts international clients. Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging, and are arranged through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How Simone's approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on warm, attentive listening and helping people feel understood. Online this means sessions prioritise what the person brings, with the therapist reflecting feelings and helping clients find their own solutions. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how past experiences influence current emotions and behaviour; in remote sessions Simone helps people notice patterns and links between history and present reactions to build longer-term insight.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Simone will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and agree together which methods to use. That collaboration means the focus can shift over time from short-term coping to deeper exploration if that is wanted.

Online formats make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual connection matters. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier for a quick check-in. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter exchanges, journalling between sessions or times when writing feels easier than speaking. These options help people fit therapy around work, family and travel without losing continuity of care.
