About Simone
Simone Stephen is a counsellor who uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people with stress, anxiety and low mood. She has eight years of experience and works with everyday problems such as relationship strain, self-esteem and motivation. Simone welcomes discussions about work and wellbeing and supports people dealing with career and workplace issues.
She approaches sessions by treating each person as the expert in their own life. Simone focuses on what is happening now and on practical steps a person can take between sessions. Conversations cover how feelings affect behaviour, how thoughts shape choices, and small adjustments that can ease daily pressure.
Simone has particular experience supporting people through grief, intimacy-related difficulties and anger. She also helps with issues like guilt, shame, feelings of emptiness and struggles with control or abandonment. Many people bring concerns about money, life purpose or isolation and she helps them untangle these alongside core emotional work.
Her work includes discussions about LGBT and women's issues and about family problems as they affect an individual. Simone uses a straightforward style and aims to make sessions feel like a calm, practical space to think things through in manageable steps.
To begin, Simone asks people to reflect on their immediate goals and what they hope to change. She then shapes sessions around those priorities, so each meeting stays focused on what matters most to the person sitting in front of her.
How evidence-based approaches work in online therapy
Simone uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on what helps people feel and function better. One common approach involves looking at how thoughts and feelings affect everyday choices and then testing small changes to see what helps reduce stress and anxiety. Another approach she uses concentrates on practical skills for coping with strong emotions, such as anger, grief or intense shame, and on building steady routines that support mood and motivation.Finding the right approach is part of the work with Simone. She will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what has or has not helped in the past. Together they will try methods that fit the person’s needs and adjust the plan as progress unfolds, keeping the process collaborative and goal-focused.
