About Simone

Simone Stephen is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has eight years of professional experience in the UK. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem, depression and anger. She also supports concerns around life changes and career pressures.

Simone treats each person as the expert in their own story. She helps clients identify strengths they already have and uses those strengths to tackle current problems. Sessions are practical and focused on what a person wants to change.

Her approach is straightforward. Simone listens, asks focused questions and helps people try new ways of responding to difficult situations. This can include looking at patterns in relationships, mapping out triggers for anger, and building manageable steps for coping at work or home.

She has experience with issues that often sit under other problems, such as guilt, shame, feelings of emptiness, and struggles around money and purpose. Simone also supports people dealing with grief, intimacy-related concerns, abandonment fears and isolation.

Sessions are offered in English and Simone accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and sessions are run through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How sessions work

Approaches used in online sessions and how they help

Simone works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing how people respond to stress and strong emotions. One common approach is practical, problem-focused work that identifies triggers and builds step-by-step coping strategies; this helps with recurring anger, workplace stress and daily anxiety. Another approach involves looking at relationship patterns and communication habits to reduce conflict and improve intimacy-related concerns where that is relevant.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Simone will discuss options with each client, consider their goals and preferences, and adapt plans as the work unfolds. The aim is to find methods that fit the person rather than forcing a single model on every situation.

Confirm current session formats before booking. If you plan to use online sessions, typical benefits include fitting therapy into a busy day, making it easier to schedule during work breaks and avoiding travel time. Some formats can make it simpler to keep sessions shorter or to choose audio-only check-ins when that is preferable. Ask about the exact formats offered when you complete the matching questionnaire so you can pick what suits your routine.
