About Colette
BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 18 years of practice experience, Colette Marino helps people address stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and parenting challenges. She works with individuals who want practical help for day-to-day pressures and recurring worries. Sessions focus on clear steps rather than jargon, and she treats clients as the expert on their own lives.
Colette encourages people to bring what matters most to sessions. She listens to the problem, and then they agree on straightforward goals and tasks to try between meetings. Expect focused conversations about what is happening now and what small changes could make life easier.
Her background spans nearly two decades of work in the UK mental health field. That experience means she has worked with a wide range of common difficulties such as long-term anxiety, managing stressful life events, the aftermath of abusive situations, and tensions that come up around parenting and family roles.
In practice she uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. She aims to break problems into manageable parts and to rehearse new ways of coping during and between meetings. Progress is reviewed regularly so the plan can change if something is not helping.
People who choose her often want direct, practical support and a steady process for tackling problems. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and a scheduled first session start the working relationship. The subscription model used for sessions can be cancelled at any time.

How Colette uses evidence-based methods in online work
Colette draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach she uses breaks problems into smaller, manageable parts and builds new coping skills through repeated practice; this helps with persistent anxiety and day-to-day stress. Another approach involves looking at interactions and patterns that keep relationship and family problems going, and then trying different behaviours to shift those patterns. Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with the client about their goals, try methods that suit those goals, and adjust the plan together if needed. The process is collaborative and aimed at finding what actually helps in everyday life. Check the session format before you book because the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties and travel by removing commute time and allowing meetings from different locations. They also allow shorter check-ins when a quick review is useful, or audio-only options if a video call is difficult. Confirm the exact formats offered when you arrange the first session.Sheet 3
