How Colette works
That means sessions may draw on different ideas depending on what feels most useful for the individual. In therapy she focuses on forming a steady, respectful relationship. Sessions aim to make talking about difficult memories and feelings feel manageable.
Sometimes work looks at early attachment experiences or family of origin issues to understand current patterns. Practical tools are offered alongside reflective work. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy ideas may be used to challenge unhelpful thinking and build coping skills.
Mindfulness and somatic techniques can help people notice and calm bodily responses linked to stress or trauma. Colette also uses psychodynamic ideas to explore recurring themes and relational patterns. She pays attention to issues such as abandonment, avoidant or dependent tendencies, dissociation, and blended family challenges.
This mix of approaches helps people find clearer ways to cope and to feel more confident in day-to-day life.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Attachment‑based work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand why certain situations trigger strong emotions and guides rebuilding more supported ways of relating. Client‑centred therapy puts the person at the heart of the work. The counsellor offers empathic listening and reflection so the client can find their own answers and feel heard.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy journey. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they will try different methods and adapt the plan as needs change so the approach fits the person rather than the other way around.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and more in‑depth conversation. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check‑in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit ongoing support, brief reflections between sessions, or moments when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caring duties and travel while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
