About Colette

Colette Mattos offers support for a wide range of relationship and personal concerns. She helps people facing difficulties with relationships, self-esteem, anxiety, depression, parenting and coping with life changes. She also supports those dealing with trauma, eating concerns, intimacy challenges and LGBT-related issues.

Her style is warm and collaborative. Sessions focus on understanding how past experiences shape current feelings and behaviours. Colette aims to create a calm space to talk, gain clarity and practise small changes that make daily life easier.

Background and approach

Colette uses approaches drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy to suit different needs. She pays attention to attachment patterns and how they affect connection and trust. Work in sessions usually blends reflective conversation with practical exercises and new ways of responding.

With four years of experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, she combines lived practice with ongoing learning. Sessions are aimed at helping people notice unhelpful patterns, try alternative responses and build self-compassion. If you are juggling parenting stresses, feeling isolated or struggling after a separation, Colette can help you clarify priorities and take manageable steps forward.

How Colette works online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and choosing actions that reflect your values. It can help with anxiety, low mood and feeling overwhelmed by relationships. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and introduces practical exercises to test different ways of thinking and acting. It is often used for anxiety, depression and confidence issues. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) pays attention to emotional patterns in close relationships and helps people understand and reshape how they respond to one another.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with you about your needs, goals and preferences and together you will decide which methods to try. This collaborative process may blend techniques so that sessions fit your concerns and what you want to achieve.

Practical benefits of doing therapy online vary by person. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around parenting, work or busy days and reduce travel time. Some people prefer shorter check-ins or sessions where they do not need to be on camera; others like being in a familiar setting for reflection. Please confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered.
