About Colette Mattos

Colette Mattos works with individuals and couples who find that their relationships - whether with a partner or with themselves - are not where they want them to be. She supports people who are navigating communication breakdowns, difficulties with connection or intimacy, and situations where past experiences continue to shape present relationships. Her practice also includes people who are single and seeking to understand recurring patterns that make forming lasting relationships hard.

Her work is informed by an attachment-focused perspective that aims to surface the emotional patterns and responses driving behaviour beneath the surface. By exploring how earlier experiences may influence current ways of relating, she helps clients identify unhelpful cycles and gently develop new, healthier ways of connecting with others and with themselves. Many of the people she sees also experience anxiety, depression or low self-esteem, particularly when these issues intersect with relationship concerns.

Colette offers a warm, collaborative and non-judgmental space where clients can talk openly, gain clarity and begin to build more secure and fulfilling relationships. She holds BACP accreditation - membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and aims to help clients move toward greater emotional understanding and stronger connections.

Approaches to attachment and relationship work online



Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, non-judgmental environment where clients are encouraged to explore their feelings at their own pace. It is helpful for building self-awareness, self-esteem and a stronger sense of agency in relationships. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on the emotional bonds between people and helps partners or individuals understand and change the interaction patterns that lead to disconnection or distress. It is often used for intimacy and relationship issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) addresses the links between thoughts, emotions and behaviours; it provides practical strategies to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression and unhelpful thinking that can affect relationships.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Colette works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals and preferences. She tailors sessions to individual circumstances and adjusts the approach as progress is made.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people balancing work, family and other commitments. These options can make it easier to maintain continuity of care, engage from a comfortable setting and access support even when meeting in person is difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and conversations to each format so therapy remains practical and effective.
