Colette Robinson

Colette Robinson is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, trauma or depression. She also supports those who are struggling with self-esteem and coping with big life changes.

Colette focuses on practical, talk-based work. Sessions are a place to name what feels urgent and to sort out what might come next. She encourages clear, straightforward conversation about feelings, relationships and decision points rather than jargon or abstract theory.

She has experience supporting people with attachment and abandonment concerns, and with issues such as codependency, commitment worries, and communication problems. Colette also meets people facing complex life challenges, including blended family tensions, caregiver strain, cancer-related stress, and recovery after abuse or trauma.

The therapist is comfortable discussing sexual diversity and alternative sex cultures, including BDSM and kink, without judgement. She also works with people affected by divorce, separation, guilt, shame and impulsivity. Colette aims to help clients identify small, workable changes they can try between sessions.

Her approach is collaborative and down-to-earth. She will listen, reflect what she hears, and suggest practical steps to test in daily life. To book a first appointment, follow the site's process to match and schedule an initial session.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Colette describes her work as evidence-based and practical. Two common approaches she draws on are short-term behavioural techniques, which focus on spotting habits and testing small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety and lift mood, and trauma-informed talking work, which gives space to name what happened and to build steps towards feeling steadier. These methods are straightforward to use in conversation and in short exercises between sessions.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process. She will work with each person to agree which methods make sense for their goals, needs and tolerance for change. The planning is collaborative - you decide what to try and how quickly to move on from there.

The practical benefits of meeting online include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Confirm the specific session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list particular formats. Online sessions can make it easier to have a brief check-in during a work break, to use a phone call when bandwidth is low, or to keep regular weekly appointments without commuting.
