Collette Duffin, NCPS

Collette Duffin offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship strain or big life changes. She aims to help clients untangle intense feelings, rebuild self-esteem and find clearer ways to move forward. Collette uses straightforward language and focuses on small, concrete steps people can try between sessions.

Collette works from a background in personal development and counselling, bringing six years of experience in therapy-related roles. She lists Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy among the approaches she draws on. Those methods guide conversations, skill-building and practical exercises tailored to each person’s needs.

Sessions typically include talking through current problems, learning coping tools and practising new ways of responding to difficult thoughts and emotions. Collette also provides psychoeducation so people understand why certain patterns repeat and what they can do differently. She pays attention to past trauma, family of origin issues and relationship patterns when they affect daily life.

People who want coaching-style support for goals such as improving communication, managing anger, or coping with grief may also find this approach useful. Collette is based in the United Kingdom and works in English. Details about session booking and cost use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How Collette’s approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on what matters to them. It uses simple exercises to build flexibility and move towards chosen values. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches straightforward strategies to change unhelpful patterns. Both approaches are often useful for anxiety, low mood and stress.

Collette treats approach selection as a collaborative process. She will talk through what feels most relevant and try methods that match the client’s goals and preferences. If something isn’t helpful, she adjusts the plan together with the person in the session.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into busy days and the ability to join from different locations. Because formats and session types are not specified in the therapist biography, please confirm current session options before booking. Collette emphasises tools and homework that can be used between meetings, making short weekly check-ins or longer sessions useful depending on what the client needs.
