Simone Riviere , BACP

Simone Riviere is an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist with 10 years of clinical experience and holds BACP membership (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). She recognises how life’s unpredictability can leave people feeling low, anxious, or overwhelmed, and she offers a steady, relationship centered space where those experiences can be explored and understood. Many people struggle to share the full depth of what they feel, or feel as though there is nowhere to turn; Simone works alongside clients to begin detangling confusing thoughts and strong emotions so clearer perspective can emerge.

Her practice places the therapeutic relationship at the heart of the work, combining different approaches to meet each person’s needs. Clients can access both short-term focused support and open-ended therapy, with an emphasis on creating breathing room, balance, and practical ways to cope. Simone values empathy, respect, and collaboration, and aims to help people process difficult moments, rebuild steadiness, and move forward at a pace that feels right for them.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support with Simone

Simone draws on client-centered therapy, Jungian therapy, and mindfulness therapy to support people in different ways. Client-centered therapy focuses on building a trusting, empathetic relationship where the client’s experience is heard and valued - this approach helps with feelings of anxiety, low mood, and relationship difficulties by prioritising the client’s own goals. Jungian therapy explores personal narratives and symbolic material to uncover deeper patterns and meanings in a person’s life - it can be helpful for those wrestling with identity, attachment, or recurring emotional themes. Mindfulness therapy teaches practical ways to observe thoughts and bodily sensations with kind, non-reactive attention, which can reduce rumination and improve coping with stress and overwhelming emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Simone works collaboratively with each client to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts the mix of approaches as the work progresses so clients feel supported and involved in decisions about their care.

Online therapy offers flexible access to licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and choose the mode of communication that feels most comfortable. Simone uses these formats to provide consistent, relationship centered support across distances.
