About Colette
Colette Marino helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strains, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and parenting challenges. She introduces calm, steady support and practical ways to move forward. Colette speaks simply and works with each person’s strengths to rebuild confidence and coping skills.
Colette has 18 years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, normally shown as BACP.
Background and approach
She sees the first step of seeking help as an act of courage and aims to make the process straightforward and respectful. In sessions she listens closely and helps people notice what already helps them. She encourages practical changes that fit daily life, such as small routines, clearer boundaries, and ways to manage stress and anxiety as they arise.
Conversations focus on what feels achievable for the person in front of her. Colette believes clients are the experts on their own stories. Her role is to offer perspective, tools, and steady support while people decide what to try next.
This includes working through past hurt from trauma and abuse at a pace the client sets. She also supports parents who feel overwhelmed or stuck by parenting demands. Together they look at what is working, what is not, and practical steps to reduce strain and improve family communication.

How Colette works online
She also works with methods suited to processing trauma and abuse at a pace chosen by the client. This involves creating safety, naming what happened, and finding manageable ways to reduce triggers and improve emotional regulation.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals, needs and preferences. This is discussed openly, and adjustments are made as progress and life circumstances change.
If you plan to use online sessions, please confirm the current session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and letting people join from different locations. It can also allow a steady continuation of work when routines change, which helps keep progress moving forward without long interruptions.
