Simone Domingues

Simone Domingues is an experienced counsellor who helps people manage anger and related concerns. She brings 25 years of clinical experience across Brazil and Australia and speaks English and Portuguese. Simone aims to make sessions clear, practical and focused on small, manageable changes.

She uses a client-centred stance that prioritises what each person needs in the moment. Simone draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot thinking patterns that feed anger and on Mindfulness methods to build moment-to-moment awareness. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps when people want to change how they relate to strong emotions.

Simone holds an Honour Degree in Psychology and is an ACA counsellor with long experience in counselling and psychotherapy. Her background includes work with adults from diverse cultures and life stages, and she has practised in both Brazil and Australia. Simone’s clinical work is supervised and follows the Australian Counselling Association’s guidelines.

In a typical session she listens first, then helps set practical steps the client can try between meetings. That might include noticing triggers, trying different responses when anger rises, or practising short mindfulness exercises. Sessions are paced to suit the person’s needs and day-to-day life.

People come to Simone for anxiety, stress, relationship and family concerns, sleep or self-esteem problems, grief and coping with life changes. She also supports those facing compassion fatigue, parenting pressures, ADHD-related challenges and eating or body-image issues.

How Simone's approaches translate to online work

Simone commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Mindfulness techniques in sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviours, which can reduce reactive anger and improve coping. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult emotions without getting swept away, then take action aligned with their values. Mindfulness teaches simple attention skills that reduce reactivity and help with sleep, stress and impulsivity.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Simone listens to each person's concerns, goals and preferences and recommends methods that fit. She will check in as therapy progresses and adapt techniques when needed so the work stays relevant to everyday life.

The biography notes Simone currently offers online counselling via telehealth, so please confirm the specific session options when booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins during a lunch break and reduce travel time. They also mean people can use mindfulness and exposure practices in the environments where they usually live and react, which can help transfer skills into daily routines.
