About Simone
Counsellor Simone Heath is a BACP member with 12 years' experience. She works in the United Kingdom and helps people with stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, intimacy issues, anger, self-esteem and coping with life changes.
Simone uses a psychodynamic approach alongside other ways of working. She aims to help people notice recurring patterns and underlying feelings that affect day-to-day life. Sessions are approximately 45 minutes long and can be a mix of shorter or longer term work depending on what the person wants.
In sessions she focuses on exploring the unconscious material that shows up in feelings and relationships. That can mean looking at attachment, patterns of behaviour, strong emotions such as anger, and how past loss or trauma shows up now. Conversations are direct and practical, with attention to how insights lead to change in everyday life.
Simone describes herself as adaptable. She and the client agree the approach during an initial assessment. That meeting also covers whether short-term counselling or longer work is best for the issue at hand.

Psychodynamic work and online counselling
Psychodynamic therapy looks at patterns and unconscious feelings that influence how someone thinks and acts. It often focuses on attachment, recurring relationship dynamics and links between past experiences and current problems. This approach can help with anxiety, low mood, grief and difficulties in close relationships.Simone also uses other conversational methods alongside psychodynamic ideas to respond to what people bring. Finding the right mix is part of the work. The therapist and client discuss what fits best, based on the person’s needs and goals, and adjust the approach as therapy continues.
The biography notes sessions last about 45 minutes and can be video or voice calls, so please confirm the current session formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, cut travel time and allow check-ins from a quieter place. Some people prefer voice calls when they do not want to be on camera, while video calls let the therapist and client use facial expression and body language in the conversation. Talk with Simone in the first assessment about which format suits the issue and practical circumstances.
