About Colette

Colette Moran is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with seven years of professional experience. She works with stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports people facing relationship and family concerns, grief, trauma and loss, addiction and life changes.

Colette describes an integrative style and draws on several therapy approaches to meet presenting needs. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy as one named approach alongside attachment-based and client-centred work. Sessions focus on identifying emotions that are hard to name and on how those feelings affect relationships and daily life.

She has experience with neurodiversity, including ADHD, dyspraxia and dyslexia, and mentions being neurodiverse herself. Colette has worked with functioning anxiety in high-pressure occupations and brings that background into practical conversations about work stress and coping.

Practical issues she helps people talk through include sleep difficulties, parenting strain, peri‑menopause and menopause, chronic illness, bereavement and end-of-life concerns. She also supports people with intimacy-related difficulties, body image and communication problems.

Colette aims to help people name difficult feelings and understand how those feelings shape behaviour. She blends different therapeutic ideas to suit the person in front of her and keeps sessions straightforward and focused on what the client wants to address.

How Colette uses EFT and attachment ideas online

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and name painful emotions and see how they shape their responses in relationships and everyday life. It is often used when emotions are hard to put into words and when patterns repeat between people.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early and current relationship patterns. It helps clients notice how their attachment needs and responses affect trust, closeness and conflict. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in the room, listening closely and allowing the client to guide what they want to work on.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Colette will discuss preferences, goals and what feels helpful, then try practical ways of working together. This is collaborative rather than prescriptive and can change as needs evolve.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into daily life by reducing travel and making it easier to schedule during a break from work. Online work can also suit quieter check-ins or shorter sessions when that fits commitments better.
