People are often unsure if counselling is for them. My opinion is if something is causing you worry, anxiety or you are not sure what to do, or have depressing, counselling can help. By talking through your issues you gain new perspectives. Some people find coming for their first counselling session really difficult, because they don't know what to expect. The first session is about you meeting the counsellor and discussing what is troubling you. First sessions are longer than normal at Colette Counselling, this give us plenty of time to talk about the therapy process and your issues and how therapy can be of help to you.

I offer Outdoor Therapy to those who would like to use nature, walking and the freedom these bring into your therapy. Although I specialise in low self-esteem/confidence building, understanding and managing anxiety and body image I have experience of working in many areas of Counselling. I believe swapping a Therapy room for an outdoor setting is therapy in itself; providing a freedom to fully immerse yourself into you and your problems, thus finding a solution or an understanding of what is happening through talking as we walk. Sessions can be talking and walking or using a personal development exercise.

I work with children, teenagers, adults, couples and relationship counselling. I am a fully qualified counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I have worked many other counselling organisations and now as a private counsellor for the last 10 years and taking on referrals from all over the world. I started my studies working with children where I achieved NVQ level 2 and diploma in child care. I also studied and worked on the child grief team for a company. I have over 20 years of mental health training and experience. I am also fluent in British sign language level 6.
