About Simone Ellington
Simone Ellington is a UK counsellor who holds the NCPS credential, a professional counselling qualification. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, sleep difficulties, low mood, motivation and concentration challenges, as well as issues with self-esteem and confidence. Her work is neurodiversity-affirming and includes tailored support for individuals with ADHD, autism spectrum conditions, dyslexia, and other learning and neurodevelopmental differences.
Simone has particular experience with clients who have spent much of their lives masking or adapting to external expectations and who now face burnout, overwhelm, or a sense of disconnection from themselves. She also assists those navigating a late diagnosis, helping them reframe past experiences with compassion rather than self-blame. Her focus is on helping clients make sense of how their minds work and on reducing distress through practical strategies and compassionate understanding.
Rather than trying to change who a person is, Simone works to unlearn unhelpful narratives and to build approaches that honor an individual’s needs, strengths, and energy levels. Each session and treatment plan is adapted to the client’s unique circumstances and goals. Aware that starting therapy can take courage, she aims to provide a respectful, non-judgmental space where clients can show up as themselves and feel genuinely understood.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Simone commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her online work. ACT focuses on accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that align with personal values - it can help with anxiety, low mood, and difficulties driven by avoidance. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, non-directive relationship where the client’s experience guides the work - this approach supports self-exploration, identity questions, and rebuilding trust in one’s own decisions. CBT offers structured techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, often used for stress, sleep problems, and mood regulation.The therapist will work collaboratively to determine which approach, or combination of approaches, fits best based on a client’s needs, goals, and preferences. Finding the right therapeutic style is part of the process and can be adjusted over time with input from the client and other licensed professionals as needed.
Online therapy with Simone is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules, energy levels, and communication preferences. These options make it easier to access consistent support from across locations and to choose the format that feels most manageable for each person.
