Colette Robinson, BACP

Colette Robinson is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She has three years of professional experience and holds BACP registration. Colette supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and the challenges of life changes.

She also offers focused help with issues such as abandonment and attachment concerns, blended family tension, caregiving stress, codependency and communication problems. Other areas she works on include commitment and control issues, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and difficulties related to illness or separation.

Colette aims to make sessions a place where thoughts and everyday habits are talked through without judgment. She encourages honesty and small, practical steps that help people feel steadier and more able to cope. The tone in sessions is supportive and direct, with space to name what feels hard.

Her way of working is collaborative. She listens first, then helps set goals and simple actions that fit day-to-day life. This can include noticing unhelpful thinking patterns, practising different responses, and building routines that reduce stress.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on the therapist's availability. The subscription used for sessions can be cancelled at any time, and session cost varies with location and therapist availability.

Approaches that focus on thoughts and everyday habits

Evidence-based approaches often used to address thoughts and daily routines include cognitive-style work and behavioural strategies. Cognitive-style work helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try alternative ways of understanding situations; it is often useful for anxiety, low mood and self-critical thinking.

Behavioural strategies focus on changing small habits and routines to reduce stress and improve mood. These techniques can include building simple daily activities, planning manageable tasks and testing out different responses to triggers to see what helps in practice.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals, preferences and what feels workable day to day. Together they choose methods that fit the person rather than forcing a single model on every problem.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare or treatment for illness, and it can reduce travel time. Some formats can be shorter check-ins that suit busy days, while others allow longer conversations when needed. Ask about current session options to choose what will fit into everyday life.
