About Collette
Collette Duffin offers calm, practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, grief and big life changes. She introduces straightforward ways to manage strong feelings and rebuild confidence. Collette writes plainly and listens carefully so people feel heard and understood from the first session.
Collette uses a client-centred approach that puts the person's experience at the heart of the work. She combines that with tools drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different responses. Sessions focus on small, manageable steps that fit with each person’s life.
She has six years' experience in therapeutic and personal development work and holds NCPS as a recorded credential. Collette says her own journey through anxiety, trauma and self‑esteem challenges shaped how she supports others. That experience informs a down-to-earth style and practical coaching elements when helpful.
Typical sessions include talking through current problems, learning simple skills to handle intense emotions, and planning actions to move forward. Collette aims to make ideas easy to use at home and at work. She invites people to be curious about change rather than forcing quick fixes.
People who want clear guidance alongside gentle listening often find Collette's approach useful. She asks about each person's goals and adapts sessions to match what matters most to them. To begin, readers are encouraged to use the site Start Therapy flow to match and schedule with the therapist.
How Collette's approaches work online
Collette draws on client-centred practice and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to guide conversations, and uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques to help people change unhelpful patterns. Client-centred work means the session focuses on the person's own priorities and feelings, with the counsellor listening and reflecting to build understanding. ACT supports noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values, which can help with anxiety and life transitions. CBT offers practical steps to spot thought patterns and try different behaviours to reduce distress.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Collette collaborates with people to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adapts exercises and discussions so they feel manageable and relevant to everyday life rather than rigid homework.

Many people find online sessions useful for fitting therapy around work and family commitments, using shorter check-ins when needed, or avoiding travel time. Online work can also make it easier to practise techniques between sessions and to bring real-life examples into conversation.
