About Colette
Colette Cassell helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or grief. She explains things simply and offers steady support while someone works out what to change. Colette aims to make it easier to take small steps toward more confidence and clearer thinking.
She keeps the space calm and non-judgemental so people can say what they really feel. Sessions focus on practical strategies and honest conversation. Colette encourages routine changes, coping tactics and ways to rebuild motivation at a manageable pace.
How Colette works
Her background includes five years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom. She holds NCPS, which is shown after her name. That experience has involved helping with mood disorders, panic attacks and major life changes such as separation or bereavement.
Colette also pays attention to issues linked to relationships and self-image. She supports people facing abandonment and attachment worries, body image concerns and the strain of caregiving. Other areas she addresses include chronic illness, communication problems, guilt and a search for life purpose.
Practical problems around pregnancy and childbirth, midlife change and impulsivity are part of her work as well. Sessions can also focus on isolation and loneliness, and on finding steady ways to cope with long-term conditions. Her approach combines evidence-based therapeutic techniques with a focus on what feels achievable for each person.
Colette works alongside people as they try new ways of coping and build a routine that fits their life.

How Colette adapts evidence-based approaches for online work
Colette uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear steps and practical coping. One common approach she uses involves structured strategies to reduce anxiety and manage panic, teaching breathing and grounding skills alongside problem-solving tactics to interrupt worry cycles. Another common element focuses on mood and motivation, using gradual behavioural changes and short, achievable goals to lift low mood and rebuild daily routines.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Colette will discuss what matters most to the client, try out methods and adjust the plan together based on what helps. That way the work fits each person’s goals and pace rather than following a fixed script.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow a richer face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when less bandwidth is available, and live chat or messaging suit short check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options help clients fit sessions around work, caregiving and travel, and make it easier to keep continuity when life gets busy.
