About Simone
Simone Ellington is a counsellor who supports people facing stress, anxiety, sleep difficulties and low mood. She has three years' experience and holds NCPS, which is shown as her professional credential. Simone works in a neurodiversity-affirming way and helps people with ADHD, autism spectrum conditions, dyslexia and other learning differences.
She often meets people who have spent years masking to fit in. Those clients may now feel burned out, overwhelmed or disconnected from themselves.
Background and approach
Simone helps them make sense of a late diagnosis with kindness rather than blame and focuses on practical ways to reduce distress. Her sessions are tailored to each person. Simone aims to understand how someone’s mind works and to unlearn unhelpful stories they tell themselves.
She works on building strategies that respect energy levels, strengths and real-life demands. Simone draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. She mixes what will be useful for the person in front of her rather than following one rigid method.
People can expect a calm, respectful space to talk and to try small changes between sessions. Simone emphasises clear, practical steps and supports people as they test new ways of coping and relating to themselves.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice thoughts and feelings without getting pushed around by them. It helps with anxiety, stress and making values-led choices when life feels confusing. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and supporting people to find their own answers; it suits those who want a non-directive space to talk through parenting worries or identity concerns. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical techniques to reduce symptoms such as low mood or sleep problems.Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. Simone will work collaboratively to find what fits a person’s goals and preferences. That may mean trying different methods and adjusting plans as progress is made, with decisions guided by the client’s needs and energy levels.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different routines. Video is useful for a fuller conversation, phone can be easier if bandwidth is limited, live chat works for quick check-ins and messaging lets people reflect between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, school runs or busy days and help maintain continuity when life gets unpredictable.
