About Simone
BACP counsellor with 12 years' experience. Simone Heath focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, intimacy-related issues, anger, self-esteem and coping with life changes. She uses psychodynamic therapy alongside humanistic, person-centred and cognitive behavioural techniques and adapts these to each person's needs.
Simone keeps sessions practical and conversational. She aims to help people notice recurring patterns, bring unconscious material into awareness and develop greater independence. Sessions generally last about 45 minutes and can be video or voice calls. Clients choose between short-term or longer-term work during the initial assessment.
In therapy Simone listens for attachment themes and repeated behaviours that cause distress. She encourages fuller expression of feeling and works to trace connections between present difficulties and earlier experiences. Conversations may look at loss, anger, addiction, trauma and bereavement as they show up in day-to-day life.
Her flexible use of psychodynamic, person-centred and cognitive approaches lets the work shift focus as needs change. That can mean more reflective discussion at some points and more practical coping strategies at others. The aim is to build awareness and autonomy rather than rely on quick fixes.
Simone offers a first assessment to agree goals and session length. Costs vary with location and sessions follow a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are not accepted.

Psychodynamic work and remote sessions
Psychodynamic therapy looks at how past experiences and unconscious patterns shape current feelings and behaviour. It involves reflective conversation to notice repeated themes such as attachment, loss or anger and to explore how these affect present relationships and daily life.Person-centred elements focus on open listening and supporting fuller emotional expression. Cognitive behavioural ideas may be used to introduce practical coping strategies when needed. Together these approaches let the therapist shift between reflection and active skill-building depending on what helps most.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist and client set aims during the initial assessment and review progress regularly. This helps match the method to the client's goals, preferences and the issues that come up in sessions.
The biography notes sessions are approximately 45 minutes and can be video or voice calls. If you want to know which formats are currently offered, confirm the options before booking. Remote sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, family responsibilities or travel, and calls with no video can be a shorter, lower-bandwidth way to check in when that suits.
