It's not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters.

Simona Pilloni

Hi, I’m Simona.

I work with individuals who are seeking compassionate, understanding, and effective support. Taking the first step towards a better life by seeking help is a courageous decision, and I commend you for it. It’s not always easy, but it’s an important and powerful choice.

With nearly 10 years of experience as a community support worker, I specialize in supporting autistic adults and those facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, and panic attacks. My approach is rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps manage and overcome a variety of difficulties by developing practical strategies tailored to your unique needs.

Therapy is a partnership. We will work together to create a personalized plan that aligns with your goals and values. In our sessions, you’ll find a safe, non-judgmental space where your voice is heard and your experiences are respected.

I offer services in both English and Italian, because I understand how challenging it can be to express yourself in a language that isn’t your own. I’m happy to provide you the opportunity to explore your feelings and experiences in your native language.

Whether you’re seeking in-person therapy in Douglas, Cork, or prefer online sessions, I’m here to accommodate your needs and ensure that our work together fits seamlessly into your life.

How I Work

My approach is centered around creating a safe, compassionate space where you feel heard and respected. We work together as partners to develop a personalized plan that aligns with your goals, using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address challenges like anxiety, depression, or stress.

What I Offer

The counseling sessions last 1 hour.

At my counselling practice, I provide a range of services designed to meet your individual needs and help you navigate life’s challenges. Whether you’re seeking support for yourself or a loved one, I’m here to offer a compassionate and tailored approach.

Here’s what I can offer:

Individual Therapy
One-on-one sessions focused on your personal journey. Together, we’ll explore your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors to help you overcome challenges such as anxiety, depression, stress, and life transitions. My goal is to empower you with practical tools to enhance your well-being and personal growth.

Neurodivergence Support
With nearly 10 years of experience, I specialize in working with autistic adults and neurodivergent individuals. I offer tailored strategies that respect neurodivergent experiences and provide tools for managing everyday challenges in a supportive and empowering way.

In-Person & Online Sessions
I offer flexible options to meet your needs. You can choose to attend sessions in-person at my private practice in Douglas or Cork city centre, or opt for online therapy to access support from the comfort of your own home.

Bilingual Counselling (English & Italian)
I understand the importance of being able to express yourself in your native language, especially when discussing personal matters. I offer counselling in both English and Italian, ensuring you can communicate in the language you’re most comfortable with.
