Simone Ellington, NCPS

Simone Ellington is a UK-based counsellor who works with people facing stress, anxiety, sleep problems, low mood and difficulties with concentration. She holds NCPS, which is shown as NCPS in her profile, and has three years of practice supporting individuals through these challenges. Simone works in a neurodiversity-affirming way and speaks English. Simone often supports people with ADHD, autism spectrum conditions, dyslexia and other learning differences. She helps those who have spent years masking or adapting to fit expectations and who now feel burnt out, overwhelmed or disconnected from themselves. She also assists people who are adjusting after a late diagnosis and want to make sense of past experiences with less self-blame. Her approach focuses on understanding how a person's mind works rather than trying to change who they are. Sessions aim to reduce distress, challenge unhelpful stories people tell about themselves and build practical strategies that respect energy levels and strengths. Simone tailors each plan to the individual's experiences and goals. Simone describes therapy as collaborative. She offers a respectful, non-judgemental space where clients can be themselves and feel heard. The work is practical and paced to each person's needs, with attention to simple, usable strategies for everyday life. Starting therapy can feel daunting. Simone aims to make the first steps as clear and straightforward as possible, so people can begin working toward relief and better self-understanding without pressure.

How Simone uses therapeutic approaches online

Simone draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting swept away by them, and it supports building a values-led life even when feelings are uncomfortable. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening deeply and reflecting what a person says, which helps someone feel heard and develop their own solutions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Simone will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then adapt methods rather than sticking to one fixed plan. The aim is to find what helps the person make steady, practical change.
