About Simone
Simone Riviere offers a relationship-centred approach that combines different therapeutic styles to meet each person's needs. She is presented as an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist with ten years' experience, and holds BACP accreditation. Simone aims to create a calm space where people can begin to untangle difficult feelings and find more balance in daily life.
People often come with worry, low mood or anxiety that feels hard to share. Simone listens without judgement and works alongside clients to make sense of those experiences.
Background and approach
She uses a mix of approaches so sessions can be tailored to what a person needs in the moment. Her work addresses a wide range of concerns. These include stress, relationship and intimacy difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and depression, addictions, and issues related to LGBT identity.
She also supports people facing parenting strain, sleep and eating difficulties, anger, low self-esteem and career worries. Additional focuses include attachment and abandonment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, codependency, communication and control problems, dissociation, domestic violence, divorce and separation, and family of origin matters. Simone offers both short-term and open-ended therapy depending on what a person wants to work on.
Sessions aim to build clarity and practical steps for coping with life changes. Simone encourages collaboration, with the client guiding how therapy unfolds and which methods are used along the way.

How Simone works online
Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple practices to notice thoughts and bodily sensations without judgement. This can support stress, anxiety, sleep problems and coping with life changes by building steadier attention and calmer responses.
Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and earlier experiences that shape current feelings. It can help when people want to understand repeating patterns such as attachment, abandonment or family of origin issues.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to try different methods and find what fits their goals and preferences. This is a shared process and can change as therapy progresses.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the exact formats available before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes access possible for people who live outside the therapist's immediate area or who prefer not to travel for appointments.
