Colette Moran, BACP

Colette Moran is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people manage stress, anxiety and depression. She supports clients facing grief, relationship strain, parenting challenges and issues around self-esteem. Colette also works with people dealing with anger, addictions, compassion fatigue and the practical effects of chronic illness and caregiving.

Colette uses an integrative approach that blends methods to suit each person's needs. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings, and emotionally-focused work to help people name and shift difficult emotions. Client-centred listening is central to her practice, so clients set the pace and focus of sessions.

Her background includes seven years of professional experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She has worked with people in demanding roles who struggle with functioning anxiety, and with those navigating bereavement and terminal illness. Colette also has personal experience of neurodiversity and works with neurodivergent clients on issues such as ADHD.

In sessions she aims for plain talking and practical steps. That might include spotting unhelpful patterns, trying grounding or mindfulness exercises, or making small changes to routines to improve sleep and daily coping. Clients often bring everyday worries and Colette helps them break problems into manageable pieces.

She accepts clients internationally and runs work that also covers career and employment concerns, peri‑menopause and menopause related issues, and long‑term health challenges. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.

How Colette’s approaches translate to online work

Attachment‑based work focuses on how relationships shape feelings and ways of connecting. It helps when worry, low self‑esteem or relationship patterns make daily life harder by looking at how early and current relationships influence reactions.

Emotionally‑Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people name and change strong emotions that keep problems alive. It is useful for grief, anger and issues where feelings have been pushed away or acted out rather than understood.

Client‑centred therapy gives the person control of the pace and topics. The therapist listens carefully, reflects what is said and helps the person find their own solutions and next steps.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Colette will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and check progress as they go.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm available formats before booking as the profile does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow short check‑in conversations when needed. It can also let clients use quieter surroundings, avoid being on camera some days, or choose shorter sessions to match a busy schedule.
