About Collette
Collette Duffin is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has six years' experience in therapy and personal development. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, grief, anger and depression. Collette also supports those coping with life changes and offers coaching to help set practical steps forward.
Her approach draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and client-centred work. In sessions she listens, helps name difficult feelings and looks at the patterns that keep causing pain. She focuses on small, practical changes that people can try between meetings.
Collette has particular experience supporting people with abandonment, adoption and foster care concerns, blended family issues and family of origin problems. She also works with people affected by cancer, caregiving stress, codependency, commitment and communication problems, and those dealing with divorce, separation or domestic violence.
Her clinical style includes skill-building, practical exercises and reflective conversation. Collette uses evidence-informed methods and helps clients learn ways to manage strong emotions and rebuild connection where that is a concern. She describes sessions as collaborative, asking about goals and adapting techniques to what each person finds helpful.
Sessions are offered in English and Collette practises from the United Kingdom. She does not accept international clients. Costs vary with location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How Collette uses EFT, ACT and CBT in online work
Collette uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify and name difficult emotions and to look at how those emotions shape their relationships and patterns. EFT here is described as a way of focusing on feelings and attachment-related responses to improve understanding of recurring issues.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which emphasises noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and choosing actions that reflect personal values. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thinking and try practical strategies that change mood and behaviour. These approaches suit anxiety, low mood, relationship patterns and coping with change.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client discuss what matters, try methods, and decide together which mix of EFT, ACT or CBT feels most helpful. That collaborative process shapes how sessions proceed and what is practised between meetings.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before you book. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Registered and accredited professionals often use a mix of talking, guided exercises and short practical tasks that fit into everyday routines.
