Colette Robinson helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and major life changes. She is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. Colette aims to make first contacts straightforward and calm.

She focuses on practical steps people can take straight away to feel steadier. In sessions Colette creates an open space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgement.

Background and approach

She works at a measured pace and adapts to each person's needs. Conversations often include looking at what keeps problems going and trying small experiments between sessions. Colette also supports people dealing with abandonment and attachment difficulties, codependency and communication problems.

She can help people managing the emotional impact of cancer, caregiving stress, divorce and blended family tensions. Her work also addresses issues around commitment, control, guilt and shame. People who prefer to speak about intimate or alternative sexual lives will find she accepts discussions about BDSM, kink and alternative sex culture.

She also helps with impulsivity and coping after natural or human-caused disasters. The focus remains on what a person wants to change and practical steps toward that goal. Colette describes the first sessions as a chance to set goals and agree how to work together.

She encourages people to be curious about small changes, and supports them in trying new ways of coping. Her style is straightforward, compassionate and goal-focused.

How evidence-based approaches work online

Colette uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach she draws on looks at patterns in thoughts and behaviours, helping people spot unhelpful cycles and try small experiments to break them. This can help with anxiety, low mood and motivation problems.

Another approach focuses on attachment and relationship patterns. It helps people understand how early connection experiences shape current reactions and what can be done to build safer ways of relating. This is often useful for abandonment worries, communication problems and codependency issues.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which techniques to try and review progress as therapy continues.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls let people use body language and longer conversations. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a person prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or messaging can be useful for shorter check-ins, quick support between calls or when writing things feels easier. These options make therapy more flexible around work, caregiving and travel.
