Colette Moran is a UK-based therapist accredited with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a professional body that recognises trained counsellors and psychotherapists. She brings seven years of clinical experience and an integrative qualification that allows her to draw on multiple therapeutic styles to match each clientâs needs and presenting concerns.

She has particular experience supporting people experiencing functioning anxiety in high-demand occupations and she also provides couples therapy. Her practice covers a wide range of issues such as stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, compassion fatigue, addictions, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and bereavement, sleep problems, parenting and career challenges, bipolar conditions, and coping with life changes.

Additional areas of focus include abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment concerns, autism and Asperger Syndrome, avoidant personality patterns, blended family dynamics, body image, cancer, caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, codependency, communication problems, control issues, and dissociation. Colette works to tailor her integrative approach to the individual, combining emotional exploration and practical strategies to address the specific goals each person brings to therapy.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Colette commonly draws on Attachment-Based Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside Client-Centered principles. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns influence current attachments and helps people understand and reshape how they connect with others, which can be useful for relationship difficulties, abandonment concerns, and attachment issues. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on identifying and transforming core emotional experiences in relationships to improve bonding and communication, often used for couples and intimacy-related struggles. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a nonjudgmental, empathic therapeutic relationship that supports personal growth and self-esteem while helping clients navigate life changes and emotional distress.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process - Colette collaborates with each person to determine which methods suit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques as therapy progresses. This collaborative stance helps tailor sessions to what will be most helpful for the individual or couple.

Online work with Colette is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits, or those living at a distance. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to fit therapy into everyday life while still working with licensed professionals and therapists who can guide the process.
