Simone Simonetti , BACP

Simone Simonetti is a fully qualified integrative counsellor and psychotherapist who brings three years of clinical experience to his practice. He holds the BACP credential (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy), and combines warmth with a collaborative style to help people manage anxiety, strengthen relationships, and deepen self-awareness.

Simone creates a supportive, non-judgmental space where clients can safely explore thoughts, feelings, and life patterns. He believes in the transformative potential of a trusting therapeutic relationship and works alongside clients to uncover how past and present experiences shape current difficulties. Clients he has worked with often report feeling more confident, resilient, and connected in both personal and professional life.

His approach is tailored to each person, blending person-centred, psychodynamic, and cognitive behavioural methods to suit unique needs. He also attends to the role of identity, culture, and social context in emotional struggles and aims to be inclusive in practice. Simone provides services in English, Spanish, and Italian and is currently not accepting new clients.

Approaches and online support for personal growth

Simone draws on client-centered therapy to create a respectful, empathetic environment where the client’s perspective guides the work - this approach helps people build self-understanding and strengthens confidence in making changes. He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be effective for anxiety, low mood, and stress-related difficulties. Additionally, Attachment-Based Therapy informs his focus on relational patterns and early connections, helping clients address attachment issues and difficulties in close relationships.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Simone works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the way he works as therapy progresses and new priorities emerge.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, or through live chat and text-based messaging to suit different schedules and comfort levels. For many people, these options make regular therapy more accessible and easier to integrate into busy lives while still receiving support from licensed professionals and therapists.
