Simone

Ms Simone Rousseau

Counselor

“A person centered approach to support you in understanding and resolving behaviours you are not able to resolve by yourself.”

About Me

When you find yourself struggling with behaviours you cannot resolve alone, a person-centred approach offers supportive space. This approach trusts your inner resources, focusing our work together on understanding these patterns. We can explore what is happening for you, guiding you towards lasting resolution. This collaborative way of working is ideal for anyone seeking clarity and a path forward.

Approach

When behaviours feel stuck, I narrow our focus to the specific moments and feelings that keep them happening, helping you notice what shifts inside as you try something different. Sessions are held in Sydney or online in English, paced to your needs with clear check-ins and practical steps we agree to try between meetings. I draw on gentle tracking of body responses and reflective feedback so you can experiment safely with new ways of responding to anxiety, loss, illness or relationship strain. This way of working suits those seeking steady, practical change.
