BSL Counselling in Manchester
Hello, I’m Catherine, a passionate therapist dedicated to supporting individuals of all ages, from children to adults, as they navigate life’s challenges.
With over 20 years of experience working with neurodiverse children and young people, I have developed a deep understanding of the unique ways individuals think, feel, and communicate. This has shaped my ability to tailor support in a way that truly meets each person where they are.
I am naturally relaxed, fun-loving and positive, and I believe deeply in the power of genuine connection and active listening. My core approach is person-centered and play therapy.

My approach is clinical, caring, and collaborative. Many of my clients begin therapy when they’re feeling stuck, anxious, or after experiencing a significant life event. In a safe and supportive space, we explore their current difficulties understanding what has happened, what might be maintaining the problem, and how we can begin to reframe or change the situation.
Often, clients come to therapy saying, “I just want to be happy” or “I want to feel like myself again.” Together, we unpack what happiness and self-connection truly means for you and explore why these feelings may feel out of reach right now.

I offer both outdoor and online/phone counselling. As a practicing counsellor for 20 years, I have gained much experience working with clients facing a myriad of human challenges, these include: low self-esteem/confidence building, anxiety/ intrusive and catastrophic thinking, life limiting illnesses and the impact of this on patients or carers and complex bereavement. Over the years I have worked with each and every client differently, based on their unique story, therapy needs and goals. In your first session, we will explore your expectations, therapy needs and hopes of how you would like your life to be after our sessions.

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.

Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected?
You’re not alone. Whether you’re struggling with eating disorders, anxiety, depression, ASD, ADHD, or BPD, or other difficulties you might find it hard to express what’s really going on. Maybe traditional talking therapy feels intimidating, or words just don’t feel enough. Want to feel heard, understood, and supported in a way that truly works for you—without pressure or judgment? My goal is to help you process emotions, build resilience, and find clarity using methods that feel safe and comfortable for you. Therapy should adapt to you, not the other way around.
