About Simone

Simone Stephen draws on practical, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people facing stress, anxiety and low mood. She writes in a direct, compassionate way and focuses on small, achievable steps that make a difference. Simone is known for working with issues around relationships, self-esteem and coping with life changes.

She holds the NCPS credential and practises from the United Kingdom. Simone believes people bring their own knowledge and strengths to therapy.

Background and approach

She helps clients use those strengths to tackle problems such as worry, grief and workplace strain. Sessions aim to break down big problems into manageable pieces and set clear, realistic goals. Common themes Simone supports include intimacy concerns, anger, career crossroads and feelings of emptiness or abandonment.

She also addresses issues around guilt, shame and isolation, and helps people explore life purpose and money worries. LGBT and women's issues are part of her focus. Her style is straightforward and practical.

Conversations look at what is happening now and what steps can help in daily life. Simone uses evidence-based techniques tailored to each person’s needs rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. Simone has eight years of clinical experience.

She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. Therapy is available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, and is booked via a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How evidence-based therapy works online

Simone uses practical, evidence-based techniques designed to help with worry, low mood and relationship difficulties. Cognitive approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying alternative ways of thinking to reduce anxiety and negative mood. Behavioural techniques concentrate on small, repeatable actions that build confidence, improve routines and reduce avoidance in daily life.

Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Simone will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences and circumstances. Together they set short-term goals, test what helps, and adjust the plan as needed.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a fuller interaction is helpful. Phone sessions can be used for lower-bandwidth check-ins or when speaking without video is preferable. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, ongoing support between sessions or people who prefer writing to talking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments, while keeping continuity of care across different locations.
