About Simone
Simone Ellington is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She has three years of practice and holds the NCPS credential. Simone helps people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, sleep problems, low mood, loss of motivation and struggles with concentration or memory.
She takes a neurodiversity-affirming approach and supports people with ADHD, autism spectrum conditions and other learning differences. Simone pays attention to how clients have adapted or masked for years and the toll that can take on energy and sense of self.
How Simone works
Simone aims to move away from a “fix it” mindset. Sessions focus on understanding thought patterns, reducing distress and unlearning harsh self-narratives. She works alongside people to build strategies that respect their strengths and energy limits.
Her practice covers a wide range of concerns such as parenting pressures, relationship strain, addictions, eating issues, bipolar mood challenges and career stress. She also addresses abandonment, attachment difficulties, caregiver stress, chronic illness and substance issues when these arise in conversations. Simone adapts each session to the person in front of her.
She blends practical tools with reflective conversation so clients can try things between sessions and notice what helps. The aim is clearer thinking, more manageable days and a kinder view of personal history.

Online support options
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites people to notice unhelpful thoughts and make space for valued action. It is often used when someone is stuck in worry or avoidance and wants to make choices that match their priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers clear experiments and exercises to test unhelpful beliefs and build new habits. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep difficulties.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Simone will work with each client to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process that can change over time as needs evolve.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that feels helpful, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing or who want a flexible way to reflect between sessions. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, family life and other commitments, while keeping the focus on useful tools and gradual progress.
