About Simone

Simone Fernandes Rezzadori Bortolato helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and life transitions. She brings a calm, direct style and listens for what matters to each person. Simone's work often touches on relationship concerns, depression and issues around fertility and identity.

She has 15 years of experience in psychology and counselling and holds ACA credentials. Simone has practised in both Australia and Brazil, so she is familiar with how culture and community shape someone's experience. She focuses on understanding the whole person rather than a single problem.

Simone uses an integrative, person-centred approach. That means sessions are shaped around what the client needs and aims for. She combines practical evidence-based techniques with careful listening and cultural sensitivity to make plans that fit everyday life.

In conversations she helps people notice patterns in relationships, manage impulsivity and cope with feelings like guilt, shame or isolation. She also supports people working through attachment concerns, codependency, communication problems and midlife questions.

Simone aims to make the steps forward manageable. She frames goals in simple terms and works collaboratively on strategies you can try between sessions. If you want a counsellor who values cultural context and practical tools, Simone offers that blend of experience and attention.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Simone combines practical, evidence-based techniques with a person-centred outlook. Cognitive behavioural approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviours; they are useful for anxiety, low mood and stress management. Functional analytic approaches look at how you interact in daily life and in relationships, helping to change patterns that sustain problems such as codependency or impulsivity.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy journey. Simone works collaboratively to match methods to your goals, needs and preferences. She reviews what helps and adjusts the plan over time so it fits the way you live and what you want to achieve.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, remove travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when that suits your schedule. They also make it simpler to continue work across moves or life transitions, while the therapist and client decide together what pace and tools will be most helpful.
