About Colette
Colette Marino is a BACP-registered counsellor with 18 years of professional experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress and anxiety, relationship worries, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and challenges related to parenting.
Colette takes a straightforward, respectful approach in sessions. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and looks for practical ways to use their existing strengths. The work is collaborative - she supports people to set goals and try out changes at a pace that feels manageable.
In sessions she listens carefully and helps people talk through what matters most. Conversations focus on what is happening now, and on small steps that can make daily life easier. Colette aims to make the room feel calm and focused so people can think clearly about next steps.
Her background includes almost two decades of client-facing practice across the United Kingdom. That experience has included supporting people after difficult events and helping parents cope with the strain of family life. Her long experience means she can draw on many practical ideas when worries feel overwhelming.
People who choose to work with Colette usually start by describing the issue they want to change. From there she helps shape a plan and reviews progress regularly. This keeps the work focused and connected to everyday life.
How evidence-based techniques can help online
Colette works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and coping skills. One common approach is brief problem-solving work that helps people break down a worry into small steps and test what works. This can be useful for stress, anxiety and everyday family tensions.Another approach emphasises talking about difficult events in a contained way, helping people make sense of what happened and reduce its impact on daily life. This kind of work can support recovery after trauma or abuse and reduce the hold those memories have on current relationships.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Colette will discuss options with each person, consider what they want to achieve, and try methods that match their needs and preferences. The plan is reviewed and adjusted as progress is made.
If you are considering online work, please confirm the exact session formats before booking because the profile does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around family life, save travel time, and offer quicker check-ins when a brief conversation will help. They also allow people to choose quieter times in their day or shorter meetings when that suits better.
