About Colette

Colette Robinson helps people managing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and big life changes. She explains things plainly and aims to make sessions feel straightforward and practical. Colette is based in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration.

She has three years of professional experience in counselling. Colette listens for what matters most to each person and focuses on small, achievable steps. She encourages people to name feelings and try simple strategies between sessions.

Background and approach

This can include practising new ways to respond to worry, improving day-to-day routines, or working on self-compassion and confidence. Her work also covers more specific concerns such as abandonment and attachment issues, codependency, commitment and communication problems, and managing guilt and shame. Colette supports people navigating separation, blended family tensions, caregiving stress, and serious illness like cancer.

She also has experience with topics around BDSM, kink, and alternative sex culture. Sessions are conversational and solution-focused while still allowing room to process painful memories. Colette aims to create a non-judgemental space where people can be honest about difficult thoughts and behaviours.

The goal is to build practical skills and clearer thinking so life feels more manageable. People using her service work together to set realistic goals and review progress. Colette accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English using a variety of online formats to fit different needs.

Focus areas and approaches

Everything Colette lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

How evidence-based techniques work in online therapy

Colette uses well-established, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage symptoms and build coping skills. One approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing them against real-life experience to reduce anxiety and low mood; this is useful for worry, depression and low self-esteem. Another approach involves working gently with traumatic memories and distressing experiences by pacing discussions, developing stabilising skills, and teaching breathing and grounding methods to reduce overwhelm.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Colette will listen to your situation, goals and preferences and then suggest methods to try. You and the therapist review how things are going and adjust the plan so it fits your needs and pace.

Online sessions offer a flexible way to access help from wherever you are. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions can be easier when internet bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it simpler to fit counselling around work, caring responsibilities or travel while keeping the focus on practical change.
