Simone Fernandes Rezzadori Bortolato, ACA

Simone Fernandes Rezzadori Bortolato is a licensed counsellor in both Australia and Brazil with more than 15 years of professional experience in psychology, CBT, FAP and counselling. She blends clinical training with practical experience to support people facing challenges such as stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, low motivation, diminished self-esteem, wavering confidence, depression, and transitions in life.

Holding an ACA credential, which denotes a recognised professional counselling qualification, she works with evidence-based methods while maintaining an integrative, person-centred stance. Her practice brings together structured techniques like cognitive behavioural therapy with relational approaches such as functional analytic psychotherapy, adapting methods to each person’s needs.

Having lived and worked across two countries, Simone offers a culturally informed perspective that acknowledges how identity, family and community shape wellbeing. She emphasizes respect, sensitivity and genuine care, tailoring conversations and treatment plans to the individual rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach.

Simone frames therapy as a collaborative journey, committed to walking alongside clients as they explore, heal and build more balanced, meaningful lives. Her work focuses on practical strategies and relational insight to help people move forward with greater clarity and resilience.
