About Colette
BACP. 18 years' experience. Colette Marino works with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and parenting concerns. She frames clients as experts in their own lives and looks for strengths to build on when addressing current problems.
Colette uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage distress and improve communication. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps alongside talking through feelings. She aims to help people reduce overwhelm and find ways to cope with everyday pressures.
Her style is collaborative and straightforward. Colette listens and then offers tools and perspectives that people can try between sessions. She encourages small changes that make daily life easier and relationships more manageable.
Colette has worked in the United Kingdom for 18 years and brings that experience to sessions. She helps people work through the effects of past trauma and abuse while also attending to current stresses such as parenting and relationship strain.
People can expect sessions that balance talking and practical tasks. Colette supports exploring what has helped before and testing new approaches. The goal is to make progress that fits with each person's life and responsibilities.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online counselling
Colette works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and talking through difficult experiences. One common approach she uses emphasises identifying unhelpful patterns of thinking and trying small behavioural experiments to test new ways of coping; this helps with anxiety and everyday stress. Another approach focuses on processing past trauma and abuse by carefully pacing the work and building coping strategies to reduce distress when memories come up.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped previously, and then agree on methods to try. This is a collaborative process and plans can be adjusted as needs change.
Practical benefits of remote sessions include fitting counselling around work, family and other commitments and avoiding travel time. Different remote formats have different strengths, such as shorter phone check-ins for quick updates or video sessions for a fuller conversational experience. Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking to ensure they fit your schedule and day-to-day needs.
