About Simone
Simone Domingues is an ACA counsellor with 25 years' experience working in Brazil and Australia. She helps adults who are coping with stress, anxiety, grief, sleep problems, low self-esteem and relationship and family concerns. She also supports people facing parenting strain, intimacy-related worries, eating concerns, anger and mood challenges such as bipolar symptoms.
Simone uses a blend of well-known approaches to guide conversations. Sessions tend to be conversational and practical. Clients talk through what is happening at home, try out small changes and notice what works in daily life. She draws on approaches such as acceptance and commitment therapy, client-centred work and cognitive behavioural ideas to structure sessions.
Her background includes an Honour degree in psychology and many years practising with adults from varied cultures. Simone has worked in clinical and community settings in both countries and brings that breadth to sessions. She offers counselling in English and Portuguese for people living in Australia.
In the room she pays attention to everyday routines like sleep, eating and time with family. Conversations often include simple mindfulness exercises, values-focused discussion and practical tools for communication. The focus is on helping people manage current stresses and make clearer choices about relationships and parenting.
Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first appointment is scheduled using the site’s booking flow.
How sessions work
How Simone uses therapeutic approaches online
Simone commonly draws on acceptance and commitment therapy and client-centred therapy when working with people online. Acceptance and commitment therapy helps clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings while still moving toward chosen values and daily goals. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the person can find their own solutions and priorities.She treats finding the right approach as a shared process. Early sessions are used to understand your goals, test which methods fit your way of thinking, and adjust the plan as needed. The aim is to collaborate so strategies are practical and workable in everyday life.
The biography indicates she offers online counselling via telehealth, but it does not list specific session types here. Confirm the available formats through the booking flow before scheduling. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around family, work and carer responsibilities, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when life is busy. Simone will discuss how to structure sessions so they suit your routine and the issues you want to address.
