I work collaboratively and integratively, drawing on Attachment and Polyvagal Theory, CBT, Internal Family Systems, Mindfulness-Based Approaches, Psychoeducation, and Relational Transactional Analysis - all within a trauma-informed framework.
I pay close attention to how the nervous system, attachment patterns, and past experiences shape present-day challenges. Being trauma-informed means I work gently and respectfully, avoiding pathologising the ways you’ve learned to cope — whether through food, alcohol, overworking, or emotional withdrawal.
Together we'll explore your emotions, identify unhelpful patterns, rebuild self-trust, strengthen boundaries to protect your wellbeing, and support you in developing a more compassionate relationship with yourself. Some clients benefit from practical tools; others need space to process and make sense of their experiences - many find a blend of both helpful.
My aim is to help you gain clarity about your needs, develop sustainable ways of coping, and experience meaningful, lasting change in your everyday life.
Hello, I’m Simone - a UKCP Accredited Psychotherapist with 20 years’ experience supporting adults through emotional, relational, and mental health challenges across private practice, voluntary services, and NHS settings.
I’m down to earth, compassionate, curious, and kind. I offer a safe space where you can slow down, breathe, and explore your experiences without pressure to perform or be anything other than yourself. We work at your pace and in a way that feels manageable and respectful of your needs.
I support people experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, low self-esteem, boundary challenges, relationship difficulties, and perfectionism. Many clients are processing childhood trauma, navigating emotional regulation, or rethinking coping strategies such as alcohol use, food-based patterns, or overworking.
I specialise in neurodivergent-affirming therapy for autistic, ADHD, and AuDHD adults.
I offer sessions in person in Malvern or online via Zoom, with availability on most weekdays and early evenings.
Like all UKCP registered psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors I can work with a wide range of issues, but here are some areas in which I have a special interest or additional experience.
