About Simone Riviere
Simone Riviere is an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist who recognises how unpredictable life can feel and how easily daily pressures can become overwhelming. She works with people who experience low mood, anxiety, depression and a sense of isolation when they feel there is no one who truly understands them. By offering a steady, empathic presence she supports individuals in exploring and untangling difficult thoughts and emotions so those feelings become more manageable.
Simone places the therapeutic relationship at the heart of her work, creating a non-judgemental space in which each person’s experience is listened to and respected. Her integrative approach draws on different clinical methods to meet the person where they are, allowing therapy to be tailored to specific needs and goals. This flexibility supports both short-term focused work and longer, open-ended therapy depending on what is most helpful.
As a BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) credentialed practitioner, Simone combines professional training with a compassionate style to help people find perspective, restore balance and regain the capacity to cope with life’s challenges. She aims to create breathing space within therapy so individuals can develop clearer understanding and practical ways forward.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Simone commonly draws on client-centered and mindfulness approaches alongside Jungian ideas when working online. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating an accepting, empathic environment where the person sets the pace and direction of the work - it can be especially helpful for issues around self-esteem, relationships and coping with life changes. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and practical skills for managing stress, anxiety and low mood, supporting a calmer relationship to difficult thoughts and feelings. Jungian therapy explores personal meaning through symbols, dreams and life narratives, which can help people wrestling with identity, loss, or long-standing patterns influenced by early experiences.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Simone works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit best with their needs, goals and preferences, and adapts the work as understanding grows. Registered professionals and therapists often combine methods to tailor care, and Simone follows that integrative model to create a personalised plan.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call or phone allow real-time conversation, while live chat and text-based messaging provide alternative ways to connect that can suit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access ongoing support from home or elsewhere, helping people maintain continuity of care alongside everyday commitments.
