Simone Ellington
Compassionate counsellor for neurodiverse adults
About Simone
Simone Ellington is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She holds NCPS and works in a way that respects neurodiversity and individual differences. Simone helps people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, sleep problems, low mood, or difficulties with focus and motivation.
She often supports people who have spent years masking to fit in and who now feel burnt out or disconnected from themselves.
Background and approach
Simone also helps those adjusting to a late neurodivergent diagnosis, guiding them to reframe past experiences without blame. Her work is grounded in understanding how a person’s mind and energy patterns affect day-to-day life. Simone uses a tailored, person-centred style.
Sessions focus on reducing distress, unlearning unhelpful stories, and building practical strategies that match each person’s needs and strengths. She does not aim to change someone’s core identity but to help them live with more ease and clarity. People can expect a respectful, non-judgemental space where they are invited to be themselves and to work at a manageable pace.
Simone adapts plans and tools to fit attention differences, sensory needs, and energy limits. She balances compassion with practical steps to support everyday functioning. Her practice includes support for a wide range of concerns such as parenting pressure, relationship strain, addictions, eating and self-esteem issues, bipolar mood management, career stress, and coping with life changes.
Simone describes therapy as a collaborative process shaped around each person’s goals and circumstances.

Therapeutic approaches and online support
Simone draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy in her online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings, focus on what matters most, and commit to actions that match their values. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises an empathic, non-judgemental relationship that lets people explore their experiences at their own pace.She also uses elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy when helpful, which involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying practical exercises to change behaviours and mood. These approaches are presented plainly and adapted to each person’s needs so they can be used alongside strategies for attention, sleep or daily routine problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Simone will discuss options with each person and decide collaboratively based on goals, preferences and what feels most useful in practice. Sessions are adjusted over time as needs change.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls give a face-to-face feel and allow shared exercises; phone sessions can fit into a short break or be easier on bandwidth; live chat or text messaging can suit quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These formats make it easier to access consistent support from registered or accredited professionals while fitting therapy into everyday life.
