About Colette
Colette Mattos BACP helps people who are struggling with relationships, self‑esteem, anxiety, depression and the strain of life changes. She supports those facing parenting or family tensions, intimacy challenges, issues around body image, and people dealing with trauma, grief or isolation. Colette writes in a direct, calm way and aims to make sessions feel straightforward and manageable.
Her style is warm and collaborative. She listens first, then helps clients notice the patterns that keep causing pain.
Background and approach
That can mean looking at attachment and how early experiences shape current reactions. Colette invites practical steps alongside emotional work so people can try new ways of relating between sessions. Colette draws on a mix of approaches to suit each person.
She uses hypnotherapy alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client‑centred techniques, cognitive behavioural ideas and DBT skills. These are used to address unhelpful thoughts, reduce distressing feelings, and build better communication and coping strategies. With four years of experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP - she works from the United Kingdom and sees people in English.
Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to fit different needs and schedules. People usually begin by saying what they hope to change. From there Colette helps set realistic steps and supports progress at a steady pace.
She aims to make therapy feel practical, humane and focused on what matters most to each person.

Online support
Approaches for online counselling and change
Colette draws on hypnotherapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful habits and try different responses. Hypnotherapy is used as a focused way to access calm states and to practise new ways of thinking and feeling, which can help with anxiety, low mood and habits that get in the way. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values, accept difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them, and take small steps towards a more meaningful life.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals and preferences. That may mean combining hypnotherapy with ACT exercises, or using client‑centred listening alongside practical CBT or DBT skills to manage emotions and improve communication.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility with video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video lets people use face‑to‑face conversation from home, phone can be quicker when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check‑ins and text messaging supports regular reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities and other daily demands.
