About Colette
Colette Robinson works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and coping with life changes. She uses a straightforward counselling approach that encourages people to talk through their concerns and find practical ways to cope. Colette is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years of professional experience.
She offers a calm, conversational style that focuses on what is happening now and what can help day to day. Sessions look at patterns of thought and behaviour, and develop coping skills for managing symptoms of anxiety and low mood. For trauma and abuse she works at a pace set by the client, paying attention to immediate safety and stability.
Colette also supports people dealing with relationship and attachment concerns. This includes issues such as abandonment, commitment difficulties, blended family tensions, communication problems and codependency. She is familiar with BDSM, kink and alternative sex cultures and discusses those topics without judgement when they are relevant.
She has experience supporting people facing illness and caregiving stress, and those coping with divorce, separation, guilt, shame or impulsivity. Colette aims to help people build clearer boundaries and more dependable routines to reduce day-to-day strain.
Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time, and fees vary by location. To start, clients use the Talk to a counsellor online button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Approaches used and how online sessions work
Colette works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical coping and emotional processing. One approach looks at patterns of thought and behaviour to reduce anxiety and low mood by teaching manageable coping skills and small behavioural changes.
For trauma and abuse she uses paced, stabilising methods that help people build safety and manage strong emotions before moving on to deeper material. These methods aim to reduce distress and increase day-to-day functioning rather than promising a specific outcome.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss different ways of working and agree a plan based on the client's needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and can be reviewed as therapy progresses.
Session formats are not listed in the supplied biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, such as avoiding travel, fitting a session into a lunch break, or choosing a shorter check-in when time is limited. They can also allow people to work with a registered professional who is not local to them.
Sessions take place through BetterHelp by video, phone or messaging. We will earn a commission if you sign up.
