About Colette
Colette Mattos offers counselling for people facing relationship pain, self-esteem struggles, anxiety and depression. She focuses on concerns around intimacy, communication and family stress. Colette creates a calm space where clients can talk through what feels stuck and begin to notice new possibilities.
Colette draws on approaches that look at how past experiences shape present feelings and behaviour. She helps people recognise unhelpful patterns and practises small changes that make daily life easier.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to be practical and down to earth, not full of jargon. People come to Colette for help with parenting strain, caregiver stress, body image and attachment issues. She also supports those dealing with grief after a separation, feelings of shame or guilt, and career or life-purpose questions.
Eating and mood concerns are part of her focus too. Colette holds BACP accreditation, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and has four years of experience supporting clients. Her work tends to be collaborative and respectful, with an emphasis on building emotional safety and clearer communication.
Sessions can involve talking, noticing patterns in relationships, and learning simple skills to manage strong emotions. Colette aims to help people feel less isolated, repair important connections, and make choices that fit their values.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy journey. Colette works collaboratively with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. Together they check what helps and adjust the plan as progress is made, mixing talking, practical exercises and emotion-focused work as needed.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into busy lives. Video sessions let people see facial cues and work through emotional moments. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be simpler to schedule. Live chat or messaging suits short check-ins, brief reflection between sessions, or times when writing feels easier than speaking. These options provide flexibility so people can keep therapy going alongside work, parenting or other commitments.
