Simone Ellington, NCPS

Simone Ellington is a UK counsellor with three years of practice supporting people through stress, anxiety, sleep problems and low mood. She holds NCPS and describes her work in straightforward, compassionate terms. Simone welcomes people who are navigating concentration or motivation difficulties and those exploring neurodiversity-related concerns such as ADHD or autism spectrum differences.

She takes a neurodiversity-affirming approach and pays close attention to how masking and adapting to others' expectations can lead to burnout. Simone often helps clients making sense of a late diagnosis, shifting from self-blame towards understanding. Sessions are shaped around each person’s needs rather than forcing a single method.

Therapy focuses on understanding how thoughts and habits affect daily life. Simone works on reducing distress, unlearning unhelpful narratives, and building practical strategies that respect energy levels and strengths. She adapts the pace and content to what each client finds useful.

Her style aims to be respectful and non-judgemental, offering a space where people can speak frankly about feeling misunderstood or pressured to mask. Simone emphasises working collaboratively so people feel genuinely heard and supported as they consider changes.

Practical goals might include better sleep routines, coping techniques for anxiety, clearer communication skills, or tools to manage addictive behaviours. The emphasis is on steady, doable changes that fit into everyday life rather than quick fixes.

Therapeutic approaches and remote work

Simone uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and supports actions that match personal values. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and meeting each person where they are, which can help people who have felt dismissed or pressured to adapt.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Simone will work with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and plans are adjusted as progress is made.

The biography does not state which online formats are offered, so confirm available session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to access support when managing fluctuating energy, sensory needs or concentration differences.
