Colette Marino, BACP

Colette Marino is a BACP-registered therapist practising in the United Kingdom with 18 years of professional experience. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and parenting challenges, tailoring her work to the needs of each individual. Colette believes that clients are the experts of their own stories and that existing strengths can be mobilised to overcome what feels overwhelming. Taking the first step toward a more fulfilling and happier life often requires courage, and she offers steady, practical support throughout that process.

Her practice uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques adapted to the circumstances and goals of each person, focusing on building coping skills, improving communication, and addressing past hurts in a way that helps people move forward. Colette works collaboratively, helping clients clarify priorities and set achievable steps toward change. She accepts international clients and offers flexible session formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and preferences.

Whether someone is seeking short-term help for a specific issue or longer-term support for deeper concerns, Colette aims to create a respectful, goal-oriented space where progress is measured in meaningful, practical ways.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Flexible Online Therapy

Colette Marino works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that are adapted to the presenting issue and the person’s goals. One focus is targeted interventions for stress and anxiety that help people learn practical coping skills, manage symptoms, and reframe unhelpful thinking patterns so daily life feels more manageable. Another emphasis is relational and family-focused work which supports clearer communication, boundary-setting, and conflict resolution to improve interpersonal dynamics and parenting challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Colette treats that process as collaborative. She reviews options with each client, listens to their preferences and priorities, and adjusts methods as needed to find the best fit for their needs and goals. Registered professionals and therapists often combine techniques over time to respond to progress and changing circumstances.

Online therapy with Colette offers practical benefits - sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging increase flexibility for busy schedules and for clients living outside her region. These formats make it easier to access consistent support, maintain continuity between sessions, and choose the mode of communication that feels most comfortable for each person.
