About Collette
Collette Duffin is a NCPS-credentialed counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with six years' experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy-related issues, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, grief, anger, depression and coping with life changes. She also offers coaching-style support for people who want clearer direction after a major change.
Collette uses a mix of practical talking therapies. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused approaches among others. Sessions focus on what matters to the client now and on small, manageable steps to reduce distress and rebuild confidence.
Her background blends therapeutic practice and personal development work. This means sessions can include skill-building, short-term problem solving and reflective conversation. She aims to give straightforward tools and explanations rather than technical jargon.
Collette pays particular attention to family of origin issues, adoption and foster care matters, blended family dynamics, caregiving stress and the effects of domestic violence or abandonment. She also supports people navigating divorce, cancer-related stress and other major life disruptions.
Sessions are conducted in English in the United Kingdom. Collette uses a subscription payment model that can be cancelled at any time; fees vary with location. International clients are not accepted at this time.
To begin, a prospective client completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first appointment via the See online therapy options button. This initial step helps match goals and practical arrangements before the first session.
How her approaches work online
Collette commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. ACT looks at values and helps people make choices that fit what matters to them, even when feelings are difficult. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviours to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Collette will collaborate with clients to choose methods that match their goals, needs and preferences. That may mean combining approaches, trying short experiments, or focusing on practical skills first.
The practical benefits of remote sessions should be confirmed before booking, as specific session formats are not listed in the biography. When arranged, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Check the session options during the matching questionnaire so timings and formats suit everyday life.
