Simone Heath, BACP

Simone Heath helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and issues around relationships, intimacy and self-esteem. She also supports people who are struggling with anger, family-related worries and coping with life changes. Simone's style aims to make talking feel safe and useful rather than clinical or distant.

She uses psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat in a person’s life and at how past experiences can shape current feelings. Sessions are conversational and focused on helping the client become more aware of themselves. Simone offers roughly 45-minute meetings that can be by video or voice call so people can choose what suits them.

Her counselling credential is MBACP, which indicates membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Simone has worked in the field for 12 years and brings that experience to each session. She adapts how she works to match what a person needs at the time.

Simone supports both short-term and longer-term work. In the first assessment she and the client agree whether to try a short series of sessions or to continue for longer. The aim is to help people build awareness, find clearer choices, and grow greater independence in how they cope.

People can expect a calm, listening approach that invites honest expression. Simone focuses on understanding patterns, attachment issues and unconscious themes so clients can move toward more helpful ways of living.

Psychodynamic approaches and online therapy

The psychodynamic approach Simone uses helps people notice repeating patterns and how past relationships can shape present feelings. It focuses on bringing unconscious influences into awareness so clients can make different choices in their lives.

Therapy online still allows for slow, thoughtful conversation and reflection. Simone will work with each person to decide whether psychodynamic work fits their needs, and she will adapt the approach as the work develops. That decision is collaborative and based on a client's goals and preferences.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls let people see non-verbal cues during discussion. Phone sessions can be useful when lower bandwidth or no camera is preferable. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing over speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other daily demands.
