About Collette

Collette Treen works with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and relationship difficulties using a Humanistic, client-centred approach. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has five years of professional experience in organisations and private practice.

Collette uses Client-Centred Therapy to listen and respond to each person’s concerns. She encourages open conversation about thoughts and feelings so people can better understand what they are experiencing. Sessions focus on what matters now and on practical ways to manage everyday pressures.

Her practice includes common issues such as grief, trauma and abuse, workplace strain and compassion fatigue. She also works on areas like abandonment, attachment issues, communication problems and control issues. This gives a clear focus for conversations when these topics come up.

Clients may bring difficulties linked to sexuality, LGBT concerns, self-harm thoughts, guilt and shame, or feelings of emptiness and isolation. Collette also supports people navigating family problems, young adult issues and career decisions. The work aims to help people gain clearer perspective and make choices that fit their life.

Sessions are held in the United Kingdom and are conducted in English. Collette’s five years of practice include work in both organisational settings and private practice, which inform a practical, down-to-earth style in sessions.

How Client-Centred work translates to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of the session. The counsellor listens without directing the conversation and reflects back what is said to help the client clarify thoughts and feelings. This approach can help with anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship issues and life changes.

Humanistic ideas focus on understanding each person as an individual. The counsellor encourages honest discussion about emotions and practical steps for day-to-day concerns such as workplace stress or grief. In online sessions this same conversational style is used to identify small changes that fit into everyday life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and will adjust how sessions run in collaboration with the client. This means method and pace are decided together rather than prescribed in advance.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, study or caring responsibilities, reduce travel time and allow people to check in from a quieter location. Some formats also work better when people prefer not to be on camera or need a shorter check-in, so confirm which options are offered when you arrange the first appointment.
