About me
My name is Collette, welcome to my profile.
Are you suffering with Anxiety? Experiencing low mood or depression? Have you experienced a traumatic life event such a loss? Maybe you have something in your past you’ve not dealt with? Or there may be no reason you can think of that would explain your suffering: modern life can certainly be overwhelming and we don't always feel able to, nor should we ever have to navigate it alone.
It is my belief that we can all benefit from understanding ourselves better; my aim is to help you do just that. Nobody has lived the exact life that you have, your journey is unique to you and has shaped your every thought and belief about yourself and the others around you. Our brains store everything whether we remember it or not, and in turn influence our thoughts feelings and fears. My hope is that by spending time getting to know you I can help you make sense of what has happened or is happening to you, how you feel about it and find a way to move forward with solutions that best fit your life.
A therapist is part detective, part archeologist, scratching the surface, then with respect and curiosity digging a little deeper.
If you decide to contact me I will suggest an initial no obligation informal chat to give us enough time to see if I am the right therapist for you. If not, I may be able to signpost you to a more appropriate therapist. This first step can be scary but I will guide you through it and together we will make a plan you are comfortable with
I have experience working with both adults and young people from age 11. I’ve worked in a school environment, charities and private practice. I pride myself on building a good relationship with younger clients who find it hard to express their feelings by working creatively with them.
I can offer daytime and evenings appointments both online and face to face.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
