About Simone Ellington
Simone Ellington is a UK-credentialed counsellor who supports people coping with stress, anxiety, sleep difficulties, low mood, low motivation, and challenges with concentration or memory. She works in a neurodiversity-affirming way, offering understanding and tailored support to individuals with ADHD, autism spectrum conditions, dyslexia, and other learning or neurodevelopmental differences. Simone holds NCPS, a professional counselling credential, and brings a compassionate, non-pathologising perspective to each person's experiences.
Simone has particular experience with clients who have spent much of their lives masking or adapting to external expectations and who now face burnout, overwhelm, or a sense of disconnection from themselves. She also assists people exploring a late diagnosis, helping them reframe past experiences with compassion rather than self-blame. Her work focuses not on changing who a person is but on understanding how their mind works, reducing distress, unlearning unhelpful narratives, and co-creating strategies that honour individual needs, strengths, and energy levels.
Each session and treatment plan is tailored to the person in front of her. Simone aims to provide a respectful, non-judgmental space where people can show up as they are and begin to feel genuinely understood and supported.

Approaches That Guide Online Support
Simone Ellington works with several evidence-informed approaches that can be adapted to online formats. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and build psychological flexibility - it supports managing difficult thoughts and emotions while taking action toward a meaningful life. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathic listening and collaboration, creating space for clients to explore who they are and what they need without pressure to change their identity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviours, which can reduce distress and improve daily functioning.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Simone collaborates with each person to determine the best fit based on their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative stance means treatment plans are adjusted over time to reflect what works for the individual.
Online therapy with Simone includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules, energy levels, and communication styles. These options can make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home or while travelling, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for each stage of the work.
