About Collette
Collette Duffin is a counsellor who focuses on men’s wellbeing and personal growth. She offers a calm, welcoming space where people can talk about anxiety, stress, relationship strains and low self-esteem. Collette aims to help clients find practical ways to cope and move forward when life feels overwhelming.
She uses an individualised approach that draws on cognitive and emotional methods. Conversations typically include skill-building, straightforward psychoeducation and practical tools to manage difficult feelings. Collette also works with grief, trauma and anger, and supports people facing major life changes such as separation or caregiving pressures.
Collette holds NCPS as a listed credential and brings six years of experience in therapy and personal development. Her own journey through anxiety, trauma and self-esteem challenges informs a down-to-earth style. Clients can expect a therapist who listens without judgement and focuses on actionable steps.
Sessions combine talking, reflecting and simple exercises to test what helps between meetings. Collette often uses mindfulness, acceptance strategies and emotion-focused work alongside cognitive techniques. The aim is to help people build skills they can use in everyday life.
If someone is thinking about starting therapy, Collette encourages a short initial process to match goals and preferences. She supports people who want both coaching-style direction and therapeutic exploration, depending on what they need.
Approaches that translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and focus on what matters to them. It often uses exercises to identify values and take small committed actions towards them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on emotions and connection, helping people name feelings and change unhelpful emotional responses in relationships.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Collette will talk with a client about problems, goals and preferences, and together they will try approaches that fit the person’s needs. That way the work stays practical and grounded in what the person wants to change.
The practical benefits of working online should be confirmed before booking, as session formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people try techniques such as mindfulness exercises or thought-recording worksheets together in the session and then practise them between meetings.
