About Collette

Collette Treen is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years of experience in organisations and private practice. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression and relationship difficulties. Her approach is straightforward and person-focused, aimed at helping people talk through what is difficult and find clearer ways forward.

Collette uses Client-Centred Therapy, which means sessions are led by what each person brings. She listens and reflects to help someone understand their feelings and choices. That way the client remains in charge of which topics to address and when to try different steps.

She has worked across workplace and private settings, so she is familiar with pressures that come from jobs and career choices as well as personal relationships. Collette often supports people dealing with life changes, grief, and feelings of isolation or emptiness.

Common themes she helps with include communication problems, attachment or abandonment worries, control issues, guilt and shame, and challenges around sexuality and identity. She also helps people coping with compassion fatigue and workplace strain.

Sessions focus on plain conversation about what is happening now, and on noticing patterns that keep problems repeating. Collette encourages practical next steps between meetings and reviews progress together. To begin, clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How sessions work

How Client-Centred Work Translates Online

Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens, reflects and follows what the client brings. This approach helps with emotions like anger, stress and anxiety by building clearer self-awareness and deciding practical next steps together.

In practice, the counsellor focuses on what is being said now and how patterns repeat. That can help with relationship friction, communication problems and workplace strain by making small changes that are tested between sessions. The process is collaborative - the counsellor and client work together to find which parts of the approach feel most useful and to adjust as goals change.

Please confirm which session formats are offered before booking, since the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time so sessions slot into a lunch break or an evening. Many people find this helpful for keeping momentum while trying new ways of handling anger and stress.
