Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.

Online session options
Therapeutic approaches suited to online work
Colette commonly uses Narrative therapy to help people tell and reframe their life stories. This approach looks at the language and patterns that shape how someone understands themselves and helps find alternative, more helpful storylines for relationship and identity issues.She also uses Attachment-Based approaches which focus on patterns in close relationships and how those patterns affect feelings of safety and connection. This can be useful for intimacy concerns, communication problems and for people who feel stuck repeating old emotional responses.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches fit their needs, goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as new issues emerge or progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a fuller exchange is helpful, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins or days when being on camera feels difficult. These options make it easier to keep therapy going around work, caregiving or travel commitments and to try different formats to see what feels most helpful.
