Her career spans the NHS and private sector, including roles in psychological therapies, eating disorder services, and multidisciplinary health settings. Now based in the South West UK, Simone runs a private practice offering depth-oriented therapy that bridges traditional psychological approaches with evidence-based nutrition, neuropsychology, somatic work, and attachment theory.
Simone’s approach is relational, trauma-informed, and socially situated—meaning therapy is always grounded in the broader context of your lived experience. Rather than treating symptoms in isolation, Simone helps you make sense of your distress through a wide-angle lens that considers emotional history, identity, environment, and the nervous system. Together, you’ll explore how personal patterns, relationships, and systemic factors have shaped your inner world—not only to reduce suffering, but also to cultivate joy, self-compassion, and meaningful change.
Whether you’re navigating trauma, body image concerns, burnout, or identity shifts, Simone offers a space of safety, curiosity, and collaboration. She combines scientific insight with relational depth, alongside generous portions of intersectional thinking, post-colonial awareness, and grounded common sense.
Working with Simone is an invitation to better understand yourself, challenge unhelpful patterns, and discover what healing genuinely means for you—in body, mind, and life.
Deep Insight, Practical Support
Core Values
Just like a boat sailing on the waves, when we get lost, we look for signs of direction. In a dark storm, we look for the light. Core values are what keep us oriented, like a map. Everyone has core values at the heart of their work: these are mine.
Compassionate Curiosity
A commitment to approaching every client with warmth, openness, and non-judgment—seeking to understand their lived experience deeply, without pathologising or rushing to fix. This value supports relational safety and allows clients to be seen and understood in the context of their full story.
Integrity and Grounded Practice
Staying true to evidence-based methods while also being honest about their limits. This includes integrating science, lived experience, and critical thinking—not selling simplistic solutions, but offering real, honest support. It’s about being ethical, accountable, and transparent in my therapeutic work.
Contextual Awareness
Recognising that distress doesn’t happen in a vacuum. My practice reflects a strong value of social justice, intersectionality, and systemic awareness—acknowledging how gender, class, race, neurodiversity, culture, and trauma histories shape mental health. Therapy here includes the bigger picture, not just the individual.
Empowerment through Meaning-Making
Helping clients make sense of their experiences in a way that restores agency, connection, and choice. Rather than focusing solely on symptom relief, I support clients in building insight, resilience, and the freedom to shape their own narrative going forward.
