Colette Marino, BACP

Colette Marino helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationships, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and parenting pressures. She presents a calm and steady presence for people who want to make practical changes in daily life. Colette describes the first step of seeking help as a brave one, and she offers support through that process.

Colette works from the view that each person knows their own story best. She draws on that knowledge and the client’s strengths to set goals together. Conversations focus on what is happening now and on small, useful steps that can make life more manageable.

Across her 18 years of practice she has guided people through upsetting past events and current worries. Sessions often involve talking through reactions, spotting patterns, and trying out new ways of coping. The aim is to reduce overwhelm and rebuild confidence, week by week.

When parenting or family tensions are part of the picture, she helps people name the dynamics and plan realistic changes. With relationship concerns the work centres on communication, boundaries, and repairing trust where possible. For trauma and abuse the emphasis is on safety, pacing, and restoring a sense of control.

Colette is accredited with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She works in the United Kingdom and runs therapy in English. To begin, a person chooses the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and then schedules according to the therapist’s availability.

Approaches that guide online work

Colette uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical coping and emotional processing. One approach concentrates on identifying unhelpful patterns and building day-to-day strategies to reduce anxiety and stress; it helps people manage symptoms and regain a sense of control. Another approach pays attention to processing difficult experiences at a safe pace, helping people slowly re-establish confidence after trauma or abuse.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Colette works together with clients to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts pace and focus as people try ideas and report what helps best.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life and to maintain regular contact while juggling work or family demands. It also lets people join sessions without travel, and can be arranged to suit quieter times, shorter check-ins, or longer weekly appointments as needed. The original biography does not specify which session formats are offered online, so please confirm current options before booking.
