Colette is great, she has brought a very human and accessible form of therapy into my life. It has allowed me to accept personal flaws more kindly and enabled a rebuilding of my self-esteem.

Reviewed July 2024

Im so grateful that I came across Colette on Better Help. After participating in therapy on and off for a decade with many different therapists I finally feel as though therapy is working for me and I have Colette to thank for that.

More about Colette

  • 4 years' experience
  • Female
  • BACP

I understand that reaching out for support can be a big step, but it's one that can lead to profound personal growth and positive change. Whether you are navigating a difficult situation or looking to enhance your well-being, I'm here to support you.

In person-centred counselling, the therapeutic relationship is important. My aim is to build a relationship with you where you feel fully heard, valued, and accepted. Whether you are facing specific challenges or seeking greater self-awareness, my role is to support you as you find the solutions which work for you by providing a warm, supportive space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings without fear of judgement.

I hold an MSc in Counselling & Psychotherapy, and a BSc in Psychology & Counselling from the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow. With additional certification in listening skills from COSCA, and in suicide intervention skills from Public Health Scotland.

My experience includes working as a student counsellor at the University of Glasgow, and providing online counselling through the Crisis Counselling charity in Scotland. During the Covid-19 pandemic, I supported staff and family members at Glasgow Royal Infirmary, offering listening services during a difficult time.

With over 400 client hours in private practice, I have worked with a diverse range of individuals, helping them to navigate life's challenges with care and understanding.

Please note, due to other commitments, I do not offer sessions on evenings or weekends. My current working schedule on BetterHelp is between 10am - 5pm Tuesday - Thursday, 10am-1pm on Friday (BST).

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Colette has been amazing at spotting what I needed from the sessions. She seems so dedicated to understand me, I feel grateful that she was designated as my therapist. I feel free and welcomed to talk about any subjects. I have explored thoughts that I believed were a dead end.
