Simone Fernandes Rezzadori Bortolato is a counsellor with more than 15 years of professional experience, trained in psychology, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), functional analytic psychotherapy (FAP), and general counselling. She has supported people from diverse backgrounds through challenges such as stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, low motivation, self-esteem and confidence struggles, depression, and the practical and emotional demands of life transitions.

Her practice takes an integrative, person-centred approach that blends evidence-based techniques with compassionate, culturally aware care. Having lived and worked in two countries, Simone brings an understanding of how cultural identity, family, and community shape wellbeing and recovery. She holds ACA credentials, indicating membership in a professional counselling association and commitment to ongoing professional standards.

Simone tailors conversations and treatment plans to each person she meets, addressing both immediate concerns and underlying patterns that affect relationships and self-perception. She prioritizes respect, sensitivity, and genuine care while helping clients develop practical coping skills and clearer personal goals. Taking the first step toward change can feel daunting, and Simone aims to walk alongside clients as they explore, heal, and build a more balanced life.
