About Colette
Colette Marino is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who focuses on stress and anxiety. She draws on 18 years of professional experience to help people facing relationship strains, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and parenting challenges. Colette presents therapy as a collaborative process and treats each person as the expert on their own story.
She works in a straightforward way. Sessions aim to identify practical steps and build on strengths you already have.
Background and approach
Conversations are paced to what feels manageable and to help people make steady change. Colette uses approaches that are evidence based and adapted to each person. She listens for the patterns that keep problems repeating and helps clients try different ways of responding.
Small changes in routine and thinking are often part of the work. The counsellor emphasises a supportive, down-to-earth style. She acknowledges that reaching out takes courage and offers steady guidance through that initial period.
The goal is clearer thinking and more confident choices in everyday life. Colette holds BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and has worked in the field for nearly two decades. She accepts clients internationally and conducts sessions in English.
Evidence-based approaches and online therapy
Colette uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on helping people manage symptoms and change unhelpful patterns. One approach involves identifying and changing thinking and behaviour patterns that contribute to anxiety and stress, helping clients try small practical experiments to see what works. Another approach focuses on processing the effects of trauma and abuse in a paced way so people can reduce distress and rebuild a sense of safety and control.Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative work. The counsellor will talk through options with each person and adapt methods to match their needs, goals and preferences. Together they decide which techniques to try and review progress as therapy continues.
Online sessions are available by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that is helpful. Phone sessions can be easier when internet bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging can suit shorter check-ins or times when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family life and travel, and help people access consistent support from the United Kingdom or overseas.
