About Collette
Collette Treen is a humanistic counsellor who works from a client-centred approach. She holds BACP credentials and has five years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. Collette writes in a straightforward way and focuses on making therapy approachable and practical for everyday life.
She creates a calm, non-judgemental space where people can speak openly about what is troubling them. In sessions she listens carefully and reflects what she hears to help clients make sense of difficult feelings.
Background and approach
This approach is often used for relationship difficulties, grief, career strain and problems at work. Collette has worked in both organisational settings and independent practice. That experience has involved supporting people through life changes, trauma and abuse, and the emotional effects of caregiving and compassion fatigue.
She also offers support around issues such as abandonment, attachment worries, shame, loneliness and questions about sexuality, including LGBT concerns. Practical help is central to her way of working. She aims to help people recognise their own strengths and to build small, manageable steps towards change.
Conversations may include looking at thought patterns, communication habits and ways to cope in stressful moments. Collette encourages people to be curious about what they want from life and to try things out between sessions. She supports people as they test new ways of relating to themselves and others, and as they work towards clearer goals and greater self‑acceptance.

Client‑centred therapy and online support
Collette works from a client‑centred, humanistic approach that puts the person’s experience at the centre. This approach means the counsellor listens closely, mirrors what they hear and helps people find their own solutions. It is often helpful for anxiety, low self‑esteem, relationship worries and the emotional fallout from life changes.Her humanistic emphasis is about respect and empathy. The counsellor aims to help people explore their feelings without judgement and to identify their own strengths. This can help with grief, isolation, questions about sexuality and coping after trauma.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Collette will work with each person to decide what feels most useful, tailoring conversations to the client’s needs, goals and preferences. She encourages practical steps between sessions so people can test new ways of coping and relating.
If you are considering online therapy, check the session formats before booking as the biography does not list them. Many people find online sessions easier to fit around work and family life, and some formats need less bandwidth or allow shorter check‑in conversations. Confirm the options when you book so the arrangement fits your schedule and daily routine.
