About Simone

Simone Ellington is a UK-credentialed counsellor who brings a compassionate, practical approach to supporting people with stress, anxiety, sleep difficulties, low mood, motivation challenges, self-esteem concerns, and problems with concentration and memory. She holds the NCPS credential, a recognised UK counselling registration, and works in a neurodiversity-affirming way to support individuals with ADHD, autism spectrum conditions, dyslexia, and other learning and neurodevelopmental differences.

Simone has particular experience with people who have spent much of their lives masking or adapting to meet external expectations and who now face burnout, overwhelm, or a sense of disconnection from themselves. She also helps those who are exploring or adjusting to a later-in-life diagnosis, guiding them to reframe past experiences with compassion rather than blame.

Her method is not about fixing or changing who a person is. Instead Simone focuses on understanding how a client’s mind works, reducing distress, unlearning unhelpful narratives, and building practical strategies that honour individual needs, strengths, and energy levels. Each session and treatment plan is tailored to the client’s unique experiences and goals.

Starting therapy often requires courage, especially after feeling misunderstood, dismissed, or pressured to mask. Simone aims to provide a respectful, non-judgmental space where people can show up as themselves and feel genuinely understood.

Practical Approaches and Online Therapy Options

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them and focuses on taking actions that align with personal values. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a warm, non-judgmental therapeutic relationship where the therapist listens deeply and supports the client to find their own solutions - this approach is particularly helpful for building self-esteem and processing feelings of disconnection. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours and offers practical tools to change patterns that contribute to anxiety, low mood, or sleep problems.

Finding the best approach is part of the process. Simone works collaboratively with clients and registered professionals to identify which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts the plan as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility, allowing people to meet by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, family, or health needs and to continue therapy when life circumstances change. Many clients find that the convenience of remote sessions helps them stay consistent with care and apply strategies between meetings.
