I understand that reaching out for support can be a big step, but it's one that can lead to profound personal growth and positive change. Whether you are navigating a difficult situation or looking to enhance your well-being, I'm here to support you.
In person-centred counselling, the therapeutic relationship is important. My aim is to build a relationship with you where you feel fully heard, valued, and accepted. Whether you are facing specific challenges or seeking greater self-awareness, my role is to support you as you find the solutions which work for you by providing a warm, supportive space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings without fear of judgement.
I hold an MSc in Counselling & Psychotherapy, and a BSc in Psychology & Counselling from the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow. With additional certification in listening skills from COSCA, and in suicide intervention skills from Public Health Scotland.
My experience includes working as a student counsellor at the University of Glasgow, and providing online counselling through the Crisis Counselling charity in Scotland. During the Covid-19 pandemic, I supported staff and family members at Glasgow Royal Infirmary, offering listening services during a difficult time.
With over 400 client hours in private practice, I have worked with a diverse range of individuals, helping them to navigate life's challenges with care and understanding.
Please note, due to other commitments, I do not offer sessions on evenings or weekends. My current working schedule on BetterHelp is between 10am - 5pm Tuesday - Thursday, 10am-1pm on Friday (BST).

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Colette has been amazing at spotting what I needed from the sessions. She seems so dedicated to understand me, I feel grateful that she was designated as my therapist. I feel free and welcomed to talk about any subjects. I have explored thoughts that I believed were a dead end.
Colette is brilliant, very understanding and thoughtful, whilst also being lighthearted and humorous when appropriate
