About Simone

Simone Heath works with stress, anxiety, relationships, family issues, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, intimacy concerns, anger, self‑esteem and coping with life changes. She uses psychodynamic ideas alongside other counselling perspectives and adapts how she works to the needs of each person. Simone is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 12 years' experience.

Simone begins by listening to what matters most and helping people notice patterns from their past that affect day‑to‑day feelings and relationships. Sessions focus on talking through experiences, exploring unconscious patterns and building awareness so people can make different choices. The emphasis is on increasing independence and fuller expression of feelings.

Sessions are approximately 45 minutes long. The biography notes that sessions can be by video or voice call. People choose whether they want short‑term counselling or a longer series of sessions during the initial assessment.

In the room Simone uses psychodynamic ideas to look at attachment, patterns and unconscious influences. She also draws on person‑centred and cognitive approaches when these fit the issue being worked on, for example with anger, addiction, bereavement or low self‑esteem.

Simone welcomes questions about how therapy might fit around everyday life. She helps people set goals, reflect on progress and decide when they want to stop. Practical arrangements, including whether sessions will be short or longer term, are agreed in the first assessment.

How psychodynamic work translates to online sessions

Psychodynamic therapy looks at how past relationships and recurring patterns shape feelings and choice in the present. Online conversations using this approach focus on noticing these patterns, exploring attachment themes, and helping people understand repeated emotional responses to stress and loss.

Simone also uses person‑centred and cognitive elements when useful. Person‑centred work emphasises giving people space to talk and be heard, which can help with grief or low self‑esteem. Cognitive ideas help identify unhelpful thought patterns when dealing with anxiety or anger.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Simone will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and agree an approach together. This is a collaborative process that can change as therapy progresses.

The biography indicates sessions last about 45 minutes and can take place by video or voice call. Confirm the current session options before booking so they fit around work, childcare and daily life. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check‑ins when needed.
