About Colette

Counsellor and member of the BACP, Colette Moran has seven years' experience working with stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem and related concerns. She practises in the United Kingdom and offers support around grief, relationship and family issues, addictions, trauma and sleep problems. Colette also works with neurodiversity and ADHD and lists coaching and help with life changes among her focus areas.

Colette uses an integrative way of working. That means she draws on several approaches to suit what someone brings to a session. She often uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She also uses client-centred listening and emotionally-focused methods to help people name and manage strong feelings.

Her sessions are straightforward and conversational. Colette pays attention to how problems show up in daily life, such as work stress, sleep disruption or relationship conflict. She aims to help people sharpen coping skills and make practical changes where possible. Work can include talking, exploring personal history and trying different ways of responding to situations.

Colette has particular experience with people in high-pressure jobs managing functioning anxiety. She also supports those dealing with bereavement, peri-menopause and end-of-life issues. Her list of interests includes attachment issues, adoption and foster care experiences, caregiving strain, chronic illness and body image concerns.

Sessions are offered in English and Colette accepts international clients. If someone wants to try counselling with her they are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange a first session through the service button.

Therapeutic approaches and how online counselling can work

Colette draws on attachment-based work to look at how early relationships influence current behaviour and emotional patterns. That approach can help when people notice repeating relationship problems, difficulties with trust, or strong reactions to others.

She also uses client-centred therapy, which focuses on listening and reflecting what a person says so they can make sense of their own choices. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is another method she uses to identify and name hard emotions and to try different ways of responding to those feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Colette will discuss what feels most useful and adapt methods as the sessions progress. The choice is collaborative and based on the person’s needs, goals and preferences.

Please confirm the specific session formats before booking, as the profile does not list them. Online counselling can help fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins around work. Some formats also need less bandwidth or do not require being on camera, which can suit practical needs rather than emotional ones. Registered or accredited professionals can discuss which mode of working will best fit day-to-day life and the issues someone wants to focus on.
