About Colette
Colette Mattos is a counsellor who helps people facing relationship strain, low mood and anxiety. She supports those dealing with parenting tensions, communication breakdowns, intimacy concerns and the weight of life changes. Colette also works with people who are trying to improve self-esteem, body image or to manage caregiver stress.
Her style is warm and collaborative. She listens without judgement and helps clients spot the patterns that keep repeating. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps alongside deeper emotional work.
Background and approach
This balance aims to help people feel steadier day to day. Colette uses a mix of well known approaches to suit each person. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people live by their values, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify and shift unhelpful thinking.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas help when intimacy and attachment are the main concern. Over four years she has supported clients with depression, stress, trauma and issues such as control, guilt and loneliness. She also works with people navigating divorce, career decisions and questions about life purpose.
Colette holds BACP registration, which is recorded as BACP. Sessions are offered from the United Kingdom and are conducted in English. Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

Online support
She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to spot thinking patterns that fuel low mood or conflict. CBT offers practical tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can ease symptoms and improve daily routines.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Colette will talk through your needs, goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. This collaborative process lets the plan change as you learn what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text messaging to fit different lifestyles. Video calls let you see facial cues and hold more extended conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins or when you need flexibility during a busy day.
These options make it possible to work on relationships, depression and stress without travel, and to fit therapy into work or caring responsibilities.
