About Colette

She listens, reflects, and helps clients notice how feelings show up in the body as well as the mind.
Background and approach
This includes gentle somatic work alongside talking therapies. Her background includes extensive work with trauma, including sexualised trauma and relational abuse. That work involved one-to-one support for a range of trauma reactions such as anxiety, depression, PTSD and complex PTSD.
Over 12 years of clinical experience inform her steady and patient style. In practice Colette combines attachment-based ideas with elements of cognitive behavioural work and mindfulness. She uses psychodynamic thinking to look at early life and family patterns when helpful.
The overall aim is to help people make sense of their past and build practical coping skills for today. Sessions can be adapted to each person’s pace and needs. Colette encourages small, manageable steps and collaborative goal-setting.
Her approach is intended to increase resilience, clarity and confidence over time.
How somatic and attachment approaches work online
Colette uses somatic therapy to help people notice and work with bodily responses to stress and trauma. This approach pays attention to sensations, breathing and movement so people can find new ways to feel safer in their bodies. It is often helpful for anxiety, trauma reactions and chronic stress.Attachment-based work looks at early relationships and how they shape current patterns. It helps people understand why they react a certain way in close relationships and supports building more supported ways of relating. Client-centred therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of sessions, offering non-judgemental listening and space to make meaning of difficult experiences.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Colette works collaboratively to choose methods that fit a person’s needs, goals and preferences. Over time she adapts the plan based on how someone responds and what feels most helpful.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, while phone sessions can feel less intense. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing and shorter, ongoing contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life while accessing registered or accredited professionals.
