About me
BACP Registered
Each and every one of us will at some point in our lives face difficulties and challenges that we find hard to deal with – be that experiencing periods of feeling ‘stuck’, anxious, depressed, low or angry; experiencing conflicts in our relationships with others, suffering a loss; or being impacted by past events which still affect how we cope with life today.
How Counselling Can Help
Through my counselling skills, I can work with you to help you identify, face, and overcome those feelings and issues that you may be struggling to navigate on your own, in a safe and collaborative environment.
I have considerable experience in dealing with clients with a wide range of differing needs and achieving excellent results and client feedback.
I am insightful, trustworthy, warm and understanding.
My Background
Having had a difficult childhood and having sought therapeutic help to guide me through its repercussions, I have experienced the benefits counselling offers first-hand.
The transformative power of therapy enhanced my resilience and increased my self-awareness. The work I have done on myself, with the support of my therapists, has really paid off, as I now feel much happier and fulfilled. I want to help others benefit from therapy as much as I have done.
I am an integrative counsellor and draw on a wide range of counselling approaches to achieve results. I work empathically with my clients in the belief that, with the right help, each person can fulfil their potential and achieve their goals.
Selection of Testimonials
"Sometimes, you need to find the right person to guide you in the right direction. And if you need someone to save you, you are in the right place." — Malgorzata W.
"Simonetta is welcoming, caring and very professional in her work. I have learnt a lot about myself whilst seeing her and she has helped me through some very stressful times. Anyone would be lucky to have her as a therapist." — Grace W.
"I would not describe our sessions not as an achievement, but rather a coming back to life. Simonetta helped me to see a more realistic, full picture of my childhood and how this was piloting my life. This was shattering, but also helped me to see that I can make changes now, every day, which is an incredible gift." — Anna D.R.
"I’ve learnt a lot of tools from Simonetta’s toolbox on how to deal with many situations that are happening or may arise. I am forever grateful." — Waed A.
"Simonetta's approach is to challenge, but also to be thoughtful and considerate, which is an exceptional skill. This was a significant improvement on previous counselling I have had and I am exceptionally grateful for having had this opportunity to work with Simonetta." — T.N.
"Working with Simonetta has helped me deal with deep cemented issues. Her ability to empathise, listen and advise has been greatly beneficial to my life. Therapy with her felt like a breath of fresh air and a weight being lifted off my shoulders. I'd highly recommend her to anyone." — A.C.
"Every single session has been so useful and productive. I couldn’t recommend a better therapist." — F.C.
"Thanks to Simonetta, I've discovered a sense of peace within myself that I never thought possible. I can finally look back at that dark pool of despair from a distance, knowing that I have the strength and resilience to face whatever challenges lie ahead." — Erika Geraci
"A year prior to working with Simonetta, I wouldn’t even dare to imagine of being the woman I am today. She was there encouraging the rebirth of my true self." — A.A.
"Simonetta was easy to talk to and very understanding. I never felt that she would judge myself or the people close to me. I am very happy to have worked with her." — Tereza V.
"Simonetta has been very supportive, and I found it easy to trust her from the start and talk to her in detail about everything that bothered me – even though I'm a reserved person and not used to sharing very personal things." — Anastasia V.
“My sessions were incredibly impactful for me in enhancing my self-awareness, gaining a clearer understanding of my thoughts, feelings, and behavioural patterns, improving my emotional regulation, [and] developing coping mechanisms to handle stress, reduce anxiety and improve my mental well-being. I enjoyed every session with Simonetta. She is really incredible.” — K.K.
“It was a life-changing experience. Dr. Fucecchi helped me navigate through a challenging period of my life with love, care and sensitivity. I couldn't be more grateful.” — M.T.D.P.

Member organisations

BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership

The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
