Simone Heath, BACP

Simone Heath is a BACP-registered counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 12 years of experience working across psychodynamic, humanistic, person-centred and cognitive behavioural ways of working. She adapts her style to suit each person's needs, placing the client’s priorities at the centre of the process and tailoring interventions to whatever supports their progress. As a BACP practitioner, she follows recognised professional standards while emphasising a compassionate, practical stance.

Her work covers a wide range of concerns including stress and anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression, grief and intimacy-related issues. Simone has particular experience exploring loss, bereavement, attachment patterns, unconscious processes, anger, addiction and self-esteem, and she aims to help clients increase awareness, regain autonomy and express feelings more fully. She values the therapeutic potential of open-ended talking therapy and the chance to accompany people as they develop greater self-understanding and resilience.

Simone offers flexible arrangements so that therapy can be short term or longer term according to the client’s goals. Each initial assessment is used to agree an approach that best supports the individual’s journey. Sessions typically last approximately 45 minutes and can take place by video or voice call, according to client preference.

Psychodynamic and Person-Centred Support Online

Psychodynamic therapy focuses on how past relationships and unconscious patterns shape present feelings and behaviour. By exploring themes such as attachment, recurring relationship patterns and unresolved grief, this approach can help people understand the origins of long-standing difficulties and reduce their impact on daily life.

The person-centred approach emphasises the client’s own resources and capacity for growth. It prioritises empathy, acceptance and full expression so that individuals can build self-awareness, strengthen self-esteem and navigate life changes with greater confidence.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Simone collaborates with each client during an initial assessment to decide whether psychodynamic work, a person-centred stance or a blend of methods will best serve their goals and preferences. This collaborative process means the plan is shaped by the client’s needs rather than imposed.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be arranged by video call, phone session, live chat or text-based messaging, and are typically around 45 minutes. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family commitments or mobility needs while still engaging in sustained, meaningful work with registered professionals and therapists.
