Hello, I am Colette
As an Integrative counsellor, I have the ability to draw from various therapeutic modalities, allowing me to tailor each counselling session to meet your specific needs. This approach enables me to offer a personalised and comprehensive experience, ensuring that we explore the most effective methods to support your journey of healing and growth. I am deeply committed to offering compassionate and empathetic support to individuals facing challenges with low moods, feelings of sadness, and a lack of motivation. My journey to becoming a counsellor began with my own struggles with anxiety, low self-esteem, and confidence issues. Learning to understand my emotions and embracing mindfulness tools became essential to my personal growth. This transformative experience led me to pursue a career in counselling so that I could support others on their own journeys of self-discovery and healing.
My therapeutic approach is rooted in a holistic perspective, where I combine various modalities, including counselling, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Somatics, Mindfulness, and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), empowering my clients to envision a different life and effectively manage anxiety, depression, and limiting beliefs. Through active listening and a non-judgmental approach, I create a safe space for my clients to explore their emotions, gain self-awareness, and foster personal growth.
In addition to working with individuals, I am also experienced in parent counselling and coaching, where I support parents in understanding and managing their child's emotions and behaviours. I offer specialised parent and child coaching sessions, focusing on children aged 4 to 10 years, as well as individual parent sessions for parents of older children. My blended approach combines parent counselling, child-led play, psychoeducation, and proven therapeutic techniques, providing comprehensive support to parents in fostering a nurturing and supportive environment for their children.
With a degree in Integrative Counselling and extensive training as a Master NLP Practitioner, I am equipped with the knowledge and expertise to address a wide range of issues that individuals may encounter. My goal is to help clients build resilience, cultivate self-compassion, and develop practical skills to navigate life's challenges.
With a strong commitment to the well-being of my clients, I am registered with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy), ensuring that I adhere to the highest ethical standards in my practice.
If you are seeking a counsellor who understands firsthand the transformative power of embracing emotions and mindfulness, and who is dedicated to your growth and well-being, I invite you to take the first step in your transformative journey. Together, we can work towards unlocking your inner strength, fostering healing, and building a life that resonates with your true essence. Whether you are facing personal challenges, relationship issues, or seeking guidance as a parent, I am here to support you every step of the way. Feel free to reach out, and let's embark on this empowering and healing process together.
