About Simone

Simone Simonetti is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of practice experience. He works with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and LGBT-related concerns. He offers sessions in English, Spanish and Italian and uses a blend of approaches to suit the person in front of him.

Simone prefers a practical, conversational style. He helps people notice patterns in relationships and daily life. Then he works with them to try different ways of relating and coping. Sessions focus on what feels most useful now while also looking at past experiences that influence present reactions.

His work draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centred principles and cognitive behavioural techniques. That mix allows him to talk about emotion and meaning, while also trying small changes that reduce symptoms. He aims to make therapy straightforward and relevant to everyday pressures like work, study and relationships.

Simone pays attention to identity and culture and how these shape stress and connection. He commonly supports people who want clearer boundaries, better communication, or relief from low mood and anxious thoughts. He also works with concerns such as body image, caregiving strain, and family of origin issues.

Sessions begin with a short matching questionnaire and a first appointment to set goals and priorities. Fees vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. International clients are not currently accepted.

How his therapeutic approaches work online

Simone uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early and current relationships shape feeling and behaviour. This approach helps when patterns of avoidance, dependence or repeated relationship difficulties cause distress. It can make it easier to see why certain situations provoke strong reactions and to try new ways of relating.

He also works with client-centred principles which focus on listening, reflecting and responding to what matters most to the person. This is helpful when someone needs to clarify values, identity or the direction they want in life. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and test small behavioural experiments to reduce anxiety or low mood.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs, and together they will choose methods that fit the person. That collaborative process can change over time as priorities shift.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around study, work or travel and reduce time spent commuting. They also allow shorter check-ins or camera-off conversations when that suits the person better, helping therapy fit into daily life without disrupting other commitments.
