About Colette
Counsellor Colette Robinson is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with three years of UK practice. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and coping with life changes. Colette also supports people facing issues connected to abandonment, attachment, and relationship patterns.
Colette’s sessions are straightforward and conversational. She listens to what is most pressing and helps people talk through thoughts and feelings. The focus is on practical steps people can take between sessions as well as reviewing progress together.
Her background is UK-based and she has three years of professional experience working with adults. That experience includes supporting people affected by caregiving strain, cancer-related concerns, blended family issues and separation.
Colette works with people who want to address trust and attachment difficulties, codependency, control and communication problems. She is also familiar with conversations around BDSM, kink and alternative sex culture and how these intersect with emotional well being.
Sessions include talking about guilt, shame, forgiveness and impulsivity, and looking at coping strategies after difficult events. People looking for support with life transitions or long-standing patterns of low mood may find this direct, conversational approach useful. She offers sessions in English and sees clients in the United Kingdom and internationally.
How Colette uses evidence-based approaches in online counselling
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques aim to make talking useful and focused. For example, brief structured work can look at current thought patterns and practical coping steps to reduce anxiety and low mood. This kind of approach helps with everyday symptoms and tasks such as managing worry or improving sleep. Another common method involves working with past events and their impact on present relationships. This looks at attachment and abandonment themes, helping people recognise patterns and try different responses in current relationships. It is useful for those who notice recurring trust or communication problems. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Colette will discuss options with each person and decide together which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice is revisited as therapy progresses so the plan can change if needed. Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific online or in-person options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, appointments and family life. They also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or sessions without a camera if that suits the person better. Registered or accredited professionals can offer these flexible arrangements, and Colette will explain the practical options when you make contact.Areas of expertise
