About me

My name is Simonetta (Sim) and I have been working as an Integrative Counsellor since 2012, supporting clients with a varied range of personal issues including anxiety, low self-esteem and bereavement.

I believe that everyone has the necessary inner resources to work through their own issues, but sometimes life events can get in the way of our ability to see the way forward. When that happens, counselling can offer the necessary support to regain focus and inner strength to live a happy and fulfilled life. Within a warm and supportive counselling relationship, I offer an Integrative approach including different tools and strategies, matched to the situation of each individual. I offer a safe and non-judgemental service as I believe that a therapeutic relationship, built on mutual trust is fundamental in moving forward towards achieving the changes which will lead to a more fulfilled and complete life.

My core theory is Person-Centred but I am also able to draw on Cognitive Behavioural techniques and Transactional Analysis elements. I am passionate about continually improving my way of practising and, following my Diploma I decided to deepen my knowledge of CBT techniques and obtained a Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy with the Centre of Excellence.

I qualified as an EMDR Practitioner in 2019 and have been offering EMDR therapy since then and also remotely since the start of the pandemic. Please feel free to enquire about my EMDR rates.

I have a degree in Psychology (BSc with Honours) from the Open University, which I completed in 2006, full Public Liability Insurance and a current DBS.
