Simone Fernandes Rezzadori Bortolato , ACA

Simone Fernandes Rezzadori Bortolato offers calm, straightforward help for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem or major life changes. She focuses on practical steps you can take now and listens closely to what matters to you. Simone presents a warm, respectful presence and aims to make sessions feel manageable and useful.

With 15 years of experience across Australia and Brazil, Simone draws on a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques. She uses a person-centred way of working that adapts to each person’s needs rather than applying a one-size-fits-all plan. Conversations often address relationship difficulties, mood symptoms and issues tied to identity and cultural background.

Simone also helps people facing fertility-related stress, immigration challenges and feelings of isolation or guilt. She pays attention to attachment patterns, codependency and communication problems so people can build clearer boundaries and steadier relationships. Her practical focus includes coping strategies for impulsivity and mood regulation.

Sessions are shaped around goals you set together. Simone combines structured tools from therapy with empathetic listening and cultural awareness. She explains techniques in plain language and checks in about what is and isn’t working.

People who prefer flexible, accessible therapy options may find Simone’s international background and long practice helpful. She offers sessions in English and works with adults navigating midlife change, career transitions, relationship strain and the general stress of modern life.

How Simone uses therapy techniques online

Simone works from an integrative, person-centred base and uses evidence-informed approaches to help with mood, relationships and life transitions. Cognitive approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and developing practical coping skills for anxiety and depression. Functional analytic ideas look at how behaviour and relationships shape feelings, which can help with attachment issues, codependency and communication problems.

Deciding on the right approach is a collaborative process. Simone will talk with you about your goals and try different techniques to see what helps most. Together you will adapt methods and pace to fit your needs and preferences, revisiting the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers a flexible way to access sessions across video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is useful for a full conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to use video, and chat or messaging can suit shorter check-ins or people with busy schedules. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, family and other commitments while keeping the focus on practical steps and steady progress.
