Simone Simonetti, BACP

Simone Simonetti is a counsellor who uses an integrative approach to help people manage stress and anxiety. He draws on methods such as Attachment-Based Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to make sense of patterns that keep causing pain. Simone offers online sessions in English, Spanish and Italian for people based in the United Kingdom.

Simone keeps sessions straightforward and collaborative. He listens for recurring patterns from early relationships and current life, then helps people try small changes that can make daily life easier. He uses client-centred work to prioritise what matters to each person, and CBT techniques to tackle unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.

Many people turn to him for relationship issues, questions about identity and for support after trauma or loss. He also helps people with body image concerns, caregiver stress, chronic health challenges and the strain of separation or divorce. Simone pays attention to attachment difficulties and problems like codependency and control struggles.

Simone trained and practices with a focus on respectful, inclusive care. He explains approaches in plain language and adapts sessions to the person in front of him. His experience includes three years of clinical practice and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

Sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then book times that suit them. Simone aims to make therapy practical, readable and relevant to everyday life.

How Simone's approaches work online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationships and feelings. Online work can help identify attachment patterns and practise new ways of relating that reduce anxiety and isolation. Client-Centred Therapy places the person's own priorities at the centre of sessions, with the counsellor offering clear, non-judgemental listening to help people find their own answers. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing simple behavioural changes to improve mood and daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Simone will talk with each person about what feels most useful and try methods together. This is a collaborative process where goals, timing and techniques are shaped by the person's needs and preferences.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues and a fuller conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone needs a discreet check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter reflections, written processing or people who prefer communicating in writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments while keeping the focus on practical progress.
