Collette Duffin is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, low self-esteem and the effects of trauma. She presents a direct, practical style and aims to help clients make gradual changes that fit their everyday life. Collette works from the United Kingdom and carries the NCPS credential.

Collette uses a mix of approaches chosen for each person's needs. She draws on cognitive behavioural methods to spot and change unhelpful thinking.

Background and approach

She also uses client-centred techniques to listen and reflect what matters most to each person. Her background includes six years working in therapy and related personal development roles. That experience informs a pragmatic focus on skills, coping strategies and small steps that add up over time.

She pays particular attention to anxiety, trauma, self-esteem and relationship patterns. Collette offers practical help with a wide range of concerns. These include grief, anger, depression, coping with life changes, caregiver stress, adoption and foster care matters, blended family issues, and recovery from domestic violence.

She also supports people dealing with codependency, communication and commitment worries. Sessions aim to combine skill-building with reflective conversation. Collette will introduce mindfulness-based ideas and elements from acceptance and commitment therapy when these suit a person's goals.

The work is tailored so clients can apply techniques between sessions and see steady progress. People seeking to begin therapy complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange sessions based on Collette's availability. She offers a range of online formats to fit differing schedules and needs.

How Collette’s approaches work in online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and then take actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns; it often helps with anxiety, depression and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centres on understanding emotional responses and improving connection in important relationships, which can help with intimacy and relationship difficulties.

The therapist will treat finding the right approach as a collaborative process. Collette will listen to goals and try methods that suit the person's situation, adjusting techniques as progress is reviewed. The plan is shaped together so the work feels relevant and doable.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video is useful for more in-depth conversations, phone works well when a quieter connection is needed and live chat or messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options give flexibility for different schedules, preferences and practical needs.
