Collette Treen, BACP

Collette Treen works from a humanistic, client-centred approach. She focuses on helping people make sense of stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. Collette also supports those facing relationship and family difficulties, grief, workplace strain and the challenges of life transitions.

She holds BACP accreditation, which is shown as BACP in her credentials. Collette has five years of experience working in organisations and in independent practice across the United Kingdom. Her background includes helping people manage anger, compassion fatigue and issues linked to attachment and abandonment.

In sessions she aims to listen without judgement and to create an open space for honest conversation. The emphasis is on understanding each person’s experience and responding to what they bring in the moment. Collette uses a warm, supportive style and encourages people to find their own solutions.

People who come to her may want help with communication problems, feelings of emptiness, guilt and shame, or difficulties around sexuality and self-love. She also offers support for self-harm thoughts, young adult issues and workplace concerns. Practical, everyday steps are explored alongside emotional understanding.

If someone is unsure where to begin, Collette helps them clarify goals and decide what to focus on first. The aim is to work at a pace that suits each person while building greater coping skills and confidence.

How client-centred work translates to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on offering a non-judgemental, listening-based space. The therapist reflects what is said and helps people make sense of their feelings. This approach can be especially useful for anxiety, low self-esteem, grief and relationship difficulties.

Collette’s humanistic stance emphasises empathy and responding to the person in front of her. Online sessions can replicate that same listening style, with the therapist guiding the conversation and supporting clients to set goals. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process and she will work with clients to decide what feels most helpful for their needs and preferences.

The biography does not specify which session formats are used, so please confirm the available options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for quicker check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer talking over the phone or who want shorter, focused sessions during a work break. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt the client-centred method to online work so that sessions still centre on listening, validation and practical next steps.
