Simone Riviere

Simone Riviere is a counsellor who works in an integrative way, with relationships at the centre of therapy. She holds BACP and brings ten years of practice supporting people through difficult emotions. Simone focuses on helping people manage stress, anger, anxiety and low mood. She aims to create a calm space where people can begin to untangle confusing thoughts and feelings.

Many people come with worries about relationships, grief, trauma and recovery from addictions. Simone also supports those facing career stress, changes in life, problems with sleep and eating, and concerns around intimacy and self-esteem. She pays attention to attachment and family of origin issues that often influence how people respond to conflict and loss.

Her approach blends client-centred listening with psychodynamic and Jungian ideas to explore patterns from the past that affect the present. Simone uses mindfulness techniques to help manage strong emotions and motivational interviewing to support practical change. This mix is adapted to each person rather than applied rigidly.

Sessions can be short term or open ended, depending on what the person needs. Simone aims for clear, down-to-earth conversations and gentle challenge when it helps. She works with people at their own pace to build understanding and usable coping strategies.

Simone accepts people from the United Kingdom and internationally and offers sessions in English. She describes therapy as a collaborative process that helps people create balance and move forward from times that feel overwhelming.

Using Jungian, Client-Centred and Mindfulness ideas online

Simone blends client-centred listening with Jungian exploration and mindfulness work. Client-centred therapy focuses on being heard and understood, helping people find their own solutions through careful listening and reflection. Jungian ideas look at recurring life patterns and symbolic themes that can explain why certain emotions or conflicts repeat. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and calm the body when anger or anxiety rise.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Simone will talk with each person about what feels most useful and adjust methods to match needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process that begins in the first sessions and can be revisited as things change.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life, for example by saving travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or making it easier to join from different time zones. It also means people can continue therapy when life circumstances change, while the therapist and client decide together what pace and methods suit them best.
