About Simone

Simone Domingues is an ACA counsellor with 25 years' experience supporting adults through stress, anxiety, grief and life changes. She speaks English and Portuguese and offers online sessions to suit different needs. Simone aims to make talking about hard things feel ordinary and manageable.

Simone draws on existential thinking to help people explore meaning, choice and values when life feels uncertain. She combines that with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and cognitive behavioural techniques to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try small changes.

Background and approach

Mindfulness and a client-centred stance shape sessions so people feel heard and respected. Sessions are practical and personal. Simone helps people identify what matters to them, set small goals and build day-to-day skills for sleep, mood, relationships and stress.

She also addresses eating concerns, intimacy-related issues, parenting strains, coping with chronic illness, and work-related compassion fatigue. Her background includes work in Brazil and Australia and training across several therapeutic methods. Simone follows the Australian Counselling Association's ethical guidelines and receives clinical supervision as part of her practice.

That experience informs clear, down-to-earth conversations rather than medical labels. People usually find the pace collaborative and steady. Simone encourages honest questions and explains options so people can choose approaches that fit their life.

For those ready to start, she uses an online matching and scheduling process to make booking straightforward.

Online support

How Simone’s approaches translate to online therapy

Existential therapy helps people look at meaning, choice and personal values when life feels uncertain. Online sessions can use these conversations to clarify what matters and to map practical steps aligned with personal values. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings and choosing actions that match your values. In an online session ACT techniques can include guided exercises, values clarification and homework to practise new behaviours between sessions. Client-centred therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of the work. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears and supports people to find their own solutions rather than giving directives. Finding the right approach is part of the process. Simone will discuss different methods and tailor plans based on your goals, preferences and how you respond in early sessions. That collaborative exploration helps shape an approach that feels workable for your life. Online formats offer flexibility and practical benefits. Video calls give face-to-face interaction for deeper dialogue, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins or times when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while trying different therapeutic tools.
