Frequently Asked Questions

Is my journaling private?

Read more

Yes. What you write is for your eyes only. Nothing you journal is visible to Journals by Simone.

Digital products are downloaded directly to your device. No writing is stored, shared, or accessible to anyone else. This matters especially when you are processing something you are not ready to say out loud.

Does this replace therapy?

Read more

No. The journals are a self-guided practice for emotional awareness and do not replace therapy or professional support. They can accompany you well, including while you are in therapy.

Many people use the prompts to hold on to thoughts between sessions or to arrive at a conversation prepared. If you are in an acute crisis, please reach out to a doctor or a counselling service.

What if it does not help me?

Read more

You see what is inside before you buy: real pages in every gallery and sample days in the text. Digital products cannot be exchanged or returned.

The right of withdrawal ends once the download has started. If a file does not open or you ordered twice by mistake, write to hello@journalsbysimone.com with your order number and we will find a solution.

How does my purchase appear on my card statement?

Read more

Your statement simply shows Journals by Simone. Nothing about the topic of your journal appears anywhere on your bill.

The charge is listed as Journals by Simone, nothing more. Digital files arrive by email with no physical packaging, so nothing reveals what you are working through beyond what you choose to keep. Your reflection stays entirely yours.

You do not have to decide anything today.

Four questions are enough to know where you are and where to begin.
