About Collette
Collette Duffin is a counsellor who focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and relationship concerns. She works with clients who are coping with grief, anger, depression and life changes, and supports those dealing with intimacy or family-related issues. Collette holds an NCPS credential and practises from the United Kingdom.
Collette keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She listens first, then helps clients set clear goals.
Background and approach
Sessions often include skills practice, reflection and simple tools to manage overwhelming thoughts and feelings. Her approach draws on several evidence-informed methods. Collette uses Trauma-Focused techniques to address past harm, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people live by their values, and Client-Centred ways of working to make the client feel heard.
She also makes use of cognitive behavioural ideas and some dialectical skills when they fit the person’s needs. Over six years she has combined one-to-one counselling with personal development work, which shapes a results-focused style. Collette offers psychoeducation alongside emotional support so people learn how to handle problems between sessions.
People who reach out can expect a calm, non-judgemental space and practical steps to try at home. The therapist aims to help clients rebuild confidence, improve communication and find small, manageable ways to move forward.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Collette draws on Trauma-Focused approaches to help people process past harm and reduce its ongoing impact, using grounding, pacing and memory-focused work where appropriate. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take committed action even when thoughts or feelings are difficult. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on giving the person a listening, non-judgemental space so they can explore their experience at their own pace.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options, try different ways of working and adjust based on the client’s goals, life situation and preferences. That collaborative process helps find methods that feel useful instead of imposing a single technique.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face contact for deeper conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a walk or a quiet break and need less bandwidth. Live chat or text-based messaging supports shorter check-ins, ongoing coaching-style contact and written notes to reflect on later. These options let clients pick what suits their routine and communication style.
