About Simone

Simone Ellington is a UK-credentialed counsellor who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, sleep problems and low mood. She also helps with concentration and memory struggles, motivation, self-esteem and confidence. Simone works in a neurodiversity-affirming way and speaks English.

She has experience helping people with ADHD, autism spectrum conditions and other learning differences. Simone often meets clients who have spent years masking to fit in and who now feel burned out, overwhelmed or disconnected from themselves. She helps with late diagnoses too, guiding people to reframe past experiences with compassion instead of blame.

Her sessions are practical rather than focused on 'fixing' who someone is. Simone aims to help people understand how their mind works and reduce distress. She supports clients to unlearn harmful narratives and to build strategies that reflect their strengths and energy levels.

Each plan is tailored to the person's experiences and goals. Simone describes her room as respectful and non-judgemental, a place to show up as you are and be heard. She combines different therapy approaches to match what a person needs.

She holds the NCPS credential and has three years of experience. Simone accepts international clients and works from the United Kingdom. To begin, people follow the site process to match with her and schedule a session according to availability.

How Simone's approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people live in line with their values while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help with anxiety, low mood and patterns such as codependency by teaching practical skills to notice thoughts and choose actions that matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers clear strategies to shift unhelpful patterns, which is useful for anxiety, sleep problems and low mood. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a respectful, non-judgemental relationship and helps people feel heard while they make sense of their experiences.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Simone will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, needs and preferences. That process usually begins by talking about what matters most and trying a few techniques to see what helps.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins on tough weeks, and remove travel time. It also supports people who live far from services or who prefer meeting from a convenient location. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, worksheets and exposure tasks for remote sessions, so practical, goal-focused work can continue outside the room.
