About Simone
Simone Riviere offers a compassionate, relationship-focused approach to therapy. She places the therapeutic relationship at the heart of sessions and aims to create a calm space where people feel heard. Simone works with stress, anxiety, grief and depression as well as relationship and intimacy-related difficulties.
She also supports people dealing with addiction, career strain, ADHD and compassion fatigue. Simone combines Jungian ideas with client-centred listening and mindfulness practices. This helps people notice recurring patterns and emotional responses without feeling judged.
Background and approach
Sessions may explore past experiences that shape current feelings while keeping attention on practical steps for day-to-day coping. She draws on motivational interviewing to help people clarify goals and find internal motivation for change. Psychodynamic perspectives are used to look at deeper relational patterns that repeat over time.
The overall style is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. Simone has worked in the field for 10 years and holds BACP registration, which is listed as BACP. She offers both short-term and open-ended therapy depending on what a person wants to achieve.
Sessions are offered in English and can be arranged for international clients. People can expect straightforward conversations, breathing and grounding techniques, and practical suggestions for managing sleep, eating and daily routine. Simone aims to help people untangle difficult feelings and build more balance in life.

Online support
How Jungian and Client-Centred Approaches Work Online
Simone mixes Jungian thinking with client-centred and mindfulness tools to support people remotely. Jungian Therapy helps people notice recurring dreams, symbols or life themes that influence behaviour and meaning. This approach can help when someone wants to understand deeper patterns or recurring emotional reactions.Client-Centred Therapy places the relationship and the person’s own pace at the centre. The counsellor listens with empathy and follows what matters most to the person, which suits conversations about grief, anxiety or relationship concerns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce immediate stress and improve sleep and focus.
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 decide whether to focus on insight, practical coping strategies or a mix of both.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video suits deeper, face-to-face conversation while phone calls need less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging can work for brief check-ins, journalling-style reflection or when someone prefers typed communication. These options help fit therapy around work, travel and different daily rhythms.
