Simone Fernandes Rezzadori Bortolato

Simone Fernandes Rezzadori Bortolato is an ACA counsellor with 15 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. She works with individuals facing relationship strain and life changes, offering calm support and clear steps to move forward. Simone writes in plain language and focuses on practical, doable changes rather than jargon.

She uses an integrative, person-centred approach that draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques. That means Simone adapts sessions to what each person needs, mixing practical tools with space to talk about feelings. Her work often addresses attachment patterns, codependency and communication problems in everyday relationships.

Having practised in Australia and Brazil, Simone brings a culturally aware perspective to sessions. She pays attention to how culture, family and community shape choices and stressors. This background helps when immigration, fertility or identity issues are part of the concern.

Sessions focus on small, achievable steps: learning skills to manage mood, reducing isolation, and building clearer boundaries. Simone also supports people through midlife challenges, questions of life purpose and coping with impulsivity or control issues. When mood disorders or disruptive emotional patterns are present, she works collaboratively to find suitable strategies.

Her style is warm and respectful, with an emphasis on tailoring the work to each person’s goals. Simone aims to create a steady, practical space where people can explore, heal and try new ways of relating to themselves and others.

How Simone's approaches translate to online work

Simone integrates person-centred care with evidence-based techniques to help people make steady change. Cognitive approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thinking and trying new ways of responding, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood. Functional analytic practice emphasises patterns in everyday interactions and helps people experiment with different behaviours to build healthier connections.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and Simone works collaboratively to choose what fits. She asks about your goals, what has helped before and what feels manageable now. Together you try tools and adjust the plan as you learn which strategies suit your needs and routines.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and avoiding travel time. Online work can make it easier to keep regular appointments around work or family commitments and to check in after a difficult day.
