Collette Treen, BACP

Collette Treen practices a Humanistic, client-centred approach to counselling. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and relationship issues. Collette uses straightforward, supportive sessions to help clients talk through difficult feelings and make practical changes in their lives.

Collette has five years of experience working both inside organisations and in private practice across the United Kingdom. She holds BACP accreditation, which is noted as her professional credential. Her background includes supporting people who are coping with life changes, grief, trauma and abuse, and workplace struggles.

In sessions she aims to create a warm, non-judgemental space where people can speak honestly. The work tends to focus on understanding feelings, improving communication and building self-compassion. Collette encourages small, achievable steps so progress feels realistic and steady.

She also addresses issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, guilt and shame, isolation and self-harm thoughts. Practical topics like career stress, workplace problems and navigating sexuality or LGBT concerns are included in her focus areas.

Clients can expect conversational, person-centred meetings that prioritise their perspective. Collette supports parents and young adults indirectly through individual work on family problems and related challenges. Her style is calm, patient and focused on helping people regain balance.

To begin, a short matching process helps pair clients with the right schedule and session format. Collette aims to work collaboratively so each person’s goals shape the pace and direction of therapy.

Client-centred care delivered online

Collette works from a Client-Centred Therapy perspective, which focuses on the person rather than a set of techniques. The approach means the counsellor listens closely, reflects feelings and follows the client’s lead to uncover what matters most. It is especially helpful for stress, anxiety, self-esteem and relationship concerns.

Her Humanistic background supports a warm, empathic style that aims to build trust and self-understanding. That style helps when people are coping with grief, trauma, workplace strain or questions about sexuality and identity. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which ways of working feel most helpful and to adapt over time as needs change.

Online therapy with Collette is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls suit deeper conversations and non-verbal cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows shorter check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, family responsibilities and changing routines, while keeping the focus on practical progress and emotional wellbeing.
