Simone Riviere is a counsellor who focuses on trauma-informed and relationship-centred work.

About Simone

Simone Riviere is a counsellor who focuses on trauma-informed and relationship-centred work. She draws on ten years of experience to help people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, grief or traumatic events. Simone holds BACP accreditation from the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and offers short-term and open-ended therapy formats.

Simone uses an integrative style that places the therapeutic relationship at the heart of sessions. She creates a calm, non-judgemental space where people can say what they really feel.

Background and approach

Sessions are practical and conversational, with room to notice patterns and try new ways of coping. Her work covers stress, trauma and abuse, addictions, and mood concerns such as bipolar disorder and depression. Simone also supports people with relationship and intimacy-related issues, communication problems, attachment difficulties, and family of origin concerns.

She talks through day-to-day struggles like sleep, eating, parenting pressures and career stress. Simone blends client-centred listening with mindfulness, psychodynamic ideas from Jungian therapy, motivational interviewing and somatic awareness. That mix helps people make sense of feelings, shift unhelpful patterns, and try different ways of responding in real life.

She aims for clear, manageable steps rather than jargon. Sessions are offered online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging so people can choose what fits best. Simone welcomes English-speaking clients in the United Kingdom and internationally, and she will work collaboratively to set goals and pacing that suit each person.

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How Simone's approaches work online

Simone combines trauma-focused techniques and client-centred work to create practical, paced online therapy. Trauma-focused work looks at how past events affect current feelings and reactions, and aims to help people notice triggers and build safer coping responses. Client-centred therapy puts the person's experience first, with active listening, empathy and collaborative goal-setting to help people find their own answers.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Simone will talk with clients about their difficulties, goals and preferences and then agree together what to try first. This might mean focusing on grounding and regulation at the start, then moving to relational patterns or deeper exploration over time. The pace is set by the person in therapy and adjusted as work progresses.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video lets people read facial cues and body language, phone can be used when a lower-bandwidth or audio-only check-in is needed, and text or chat works well for short updates or when writing feels easier. These options offer flexibility for different schedules, energy levels and communication styles, making it simpler to keep therapy consistent.
