As an Integrative Counsellor/Psychotherapist I understand that life can be unpredictable and often feel challenging and frustrating.
Due to all we experience we can often have moments where we feel low, anxious and/or depressed. Sometimes we can feel as though we have no where to turn and as though no one will ever understand or empathise with the way we feel. Often, we can feel that we don't want to share the true depth of how we are feeling with those around us. Sometimes, we have no one around us.
Working through these emotions together creates an opportunity to begin detangling those thoughts. Let's try and get through this together.
Therapy can help create space and perspective, a chance to breath and ultimately create a sense of balance.
I work in an integrative way putting relationship at the centre of therapy. You will be offered a non-judgemental space that is entirely yours in which your experience is valued and respected.
I provide short term and open-ended therapy.

How can I even begin to describe this lovely lady? Such a calm, warm, kind and genuine lady. When I speak to her I feel like I’ve known her forever. She listens so well to everything I say, I’m amazed she can keep up with me! She has offered me so much comfort, great tips and advice, a huge listening ear and described things to me in a way I can understand and relate to. I feel very safe and secure with her and would tell her anything. I feel so blessed and grateful to have been given Simone. She could genuinely make the difference between existing and living the best life possible. With so much gratitude-Donna
