About Collette
Collette Duffin is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage depression, anxiety and stress. She offers straightforward support for people feeling overwhelmed by change, grief, relationship problems or low self‑esteem. Sessions set out clear goals and practical steps rather than vague talk, so people leave with tools they can use day to day.
Collette works from an individualised approach that adapts to each person’s needs. She draws on methods that help people notice unhelpful patterns and try small experiments to change them.
Background and approach
Therapy is conversational and paced to suit the person sitting across from her. She has six years of experience working in therapy and related personal development. Her NCPS credential is listed as a professional qualification she holds.
Collette combines that background with ongoing learning to shape her sessions and resources. Typical issues she addresses include relationship and intimacy difficulties, family of origin problems, grief, trauma and abuse, caregiver stress and coping with major life change. She also supports people facing abandonment, adoption and foster care questions, blended family tensions, cancer concerns and the fallout of separation or domestic violence.
Practical techniques are a core part of her work. People can expect to learn strategies for emotion regulation, clearer communication and healthier boundaries. The goal is steady progress, with skills that help outside sessions as well.

Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. Sessions teach practical skills to challenge unhelpful thinking and to try new behaviours, which often reduces anxiety and low mood over time.
Finding the right fit is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text‑based messaging. Video calls are good for a face‑to‑face feel and deeper work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone wants a less visual check‑in. Live chat and messaging suit brief check‑ins, journalling between sessions or ongoing coaching style support. These options give practical flexibility to fit therapy around work, family and daily life.
