About me and my therapy practice

Hi, I'm Collette

Are you suffering from anxiety? Do you have low mood or depression? Have you experienced a traumatic life event such a loss? Maybe you have something in your past you’ve not dealt with? Or there may be no reason you can think of that would explain your suffering: modern life can certainly be overwhelming and we don't always feel able to, nor should we ever have to navigate it alone.

It is my belief that we can all benefit from understanding ourselves better; my aim is to help you do just that. Nobody has lived the exact life that you have, your journey is unique to you and has shaped your every thought and belief about yourself and the others around you. Our brains store everything whether we remember it or not, and in turn influence our thoughts feelings and fears. My hope is that by spending time getting to know you I can help you make sense of what has happened or is happening to you, how you feel about it and find a way to move forward with solutions that best fit your life.

A therapist is part detective, part archeologist, scratching the surface, then with respect and curiosity digging a little deeper.

I have experience working with both adults and young people from age 11.  I’ve worked in a school environment, charities and private practice.  I pride myself on building a good relationship with younger clients who find it hard to express their feelings by working creatively with them.  

I can offer daytime and evenings appointments both online and face to face.

Practice description

I have cosy counselling room with soft lighting and comfy chairs on a first floor in south Bedford.  I can also accommodate wheelchairs in a larger room on the ground floor.   

My first session

If you decide to contact me I will suggest an initial no obligation informal chat to give us enough time to see if I am the right therapist for you. If not, I may be able to signpost you to a more appropriate therapist. This first step can be scary but I will guide you through it and together we will make a plan you are comfortable with.  


Our first meeting will be an gentle introduction to counselling and an opportunity for me to get to know you a bit better.
