About Simone
Simone Simonetti is a counsellor who uses Narrative ideas to help people make sense of difficult feelings. He focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship concerns. He offers sessions in English, Spanish and Italian and works online from the United Kingdom.
Simone builds a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through what matters to them. He listens for patterns in stories about work, family and identity, and helps people see different ways to tell those stories.
Background and approach
This can change how someone thinks about old problems and opens up new choices for the present. He often links Narrative ways of working with attachment-focused ideas and client-centred practice. That means attention to how early relationships shape current reactions, and a steady focus on the person in front of him.
Cognitive approaches are used when practical steps and coping strategies will help reduce overwhelm. Simone has three years of practice supporting people with issues such as body image, codependency, caregiver stress and family of origin concerns. He also works with people managing chronic illness or chronic pain and those affected by separation or blended family dynamics.
Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. He uses a subscription system for sessions which can be cancelled at any time. Simone aims for a warm, collaborative relationship and adapts his approach to each person's needs.

How Narrative and Attachment work online
Simone commonly uses Narrative Therapy to help people reframe personal stories. This approach looks at the stories we tell about ourselves and seeks new perspectives that reduce shame and open up different choices. It is often useful for identity concerns, relationship issues and making sense of long-standing patterns.He also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to consider how early bonds influence current reactions. This work helps people notice habitual ways of relating and try gentler options for connection and boundaries. Client-Centred Therapy underpins his style by keeping the person's experience central and by offering a respectful, accepting space to talk.
Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Simone discusses aims and preferences with each person and adapts techniques to match their needs. He treats approach selection as a collaborative conversation rather than a fixed plan.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, giving practical flexibility. Video is useful for a fuller conversational feel, while phone calls need less bandwidth and can fit into a busy day. Live chat or messaging can support shorter check-ins and ongoing reflection between sessions. These options aim to make therapy more accessible and easier to fit around everyday life.
