Simone Simonetti, BACP

Simone Simonetti is a counsellor who uses an integrative, relationship-focused approach to help people manage anxiety, stress and difficult relationships. He draws on client-centred listening alongside practical techniques to help clients feel more confident and connected. Simone works in English, Spanish and Italian and practises in the United Kingdom.

Simone aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through painful feelings and confusing thoughts. He listens for patterns that link past experiences to current relationships, and gently helps clients spot where small changes might make life easier. Sessions tend to focus on building awareness, emotional regulation and clearer communication.

His background includes three years of practice and accreditation with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That experience has involved supporting people with anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship strain, and with issues related to sexual orientation. He also works with concerns such as attachment problems, body image and caregiver stress.

Simone combines elements from different therapeutic styles to fit each person’s needs. He may use cognitive techniques to challenge unhelpful thoughts, mindful exercises to ease overwhelm, and relational work to strengthen connection. The plan is always agreed together and adjusted as progress is made.

People who choose Simone can expect steady, practical steps rather than quick fixes. He emphasises collaboration and helps clients build tools they can use between sessions. To start, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to his availability.

Therapeutic approaches for online sessions

Simone draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach helps people understand why they react in close relationships and supports building more steady ways of relating.

He also uses client-centred methods that put the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. That means sessions focus on listening, empathy and helping clients find their own answers. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, is used when practical steps are helpful; it targets unhelpful thinking patterns and builds coping skills for anxiety or low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Simone will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they choose or combine methods and review progress as therapy continues.

Please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make attending easier by removing travel and fitting sessions into busy schedules. It can also allow shorter check-ins between meetings, or phone-only contact when video is not suitable. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and homework for remote sessions to keep the work practical and relevant.
