About Collette
Collette Treen uses a Humanistic, client-centred approach to help people feel heard and understood. She is a counsellor with five years of professional experience in both organisations and independent practice in the United Kingdom. Collette offers steady, practical support for those facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression.
She works in a calm, non-judgemental style so people can talk openly about difficult feelings. Conversations focus on what matters to the individual and on small, realistic steps forward.
How Collette works
Collette pays attention to how past experiences affect present relationships and emotions. Her work covers a wide range of concerns including relationship strain, grief, trauma and abuse, workplace difficulties and compassion fatigue. Additional focus areas include abandonment, attachment issues, communication problems, control issues and feelings of emptiness.
She also supports people with sexuality, self-harm, self-love and young adult issues. Collette believes change starts with feeling accepted and understood. Sessions aim to build self-awareness, boost emotional resilience and improve day-to-day coping.
The tone in sessions is supportive and encouraging rather than directive. People meet Collette by video, phone, live chat or messaging depending on what fits their life. All work is carried out in English and she practises as a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom.

Online support options
Client-centred support online and what to expect
Collette uses a client-centred, humanistic way of working that focuses on the person rather than labels. This approach means the counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said and follows the pace the client sets. It is helpful for emotional concerns like low self-esteem, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties.Her style creates space to look at attachment and relationship patterns without pressure to perform. Conversations are aimed at increasing self-awareness and finding manageable steps for everyday life. This method often suits people coping with grief, trauma, workplace strain or feelings of emptiness.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Collette will work with each person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. Together they set aims and review progress as work continues.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical options for different situations. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and messaging works for ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats aim to make counselling more flexible and easier to fit around work, study and caring commitments.
