About Colette
Colette Hutchison helps people who are coping with anxiety, stress, depression and life changes. She also supports people dealing with relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem issues and parenting concerns. Her approach is calm and straightforward, aimed at making conversations easier to manage when life feels overwhelming.
Colette uses client-centred ways of working to create a warm, listening space. That means she focuses on what you bring and follows your pace, helping you feel understood without judgement.
Background and approach
She also draws on solution-focused ideas to identify small, practical steps you can try between sessions to make day-to-day life feel more manageable. Her background includes an MSc in Counselling and Psychotherapy and a BSc in Psychology and Counselling from the University of Strathclyde.
Colette has experience offering listening and counselling support in university and healthcare settings, and she has worked with online crisis services in Scotland. People who meet her can expect short, clear sessions that focus on what matters now. She pays attention to where you want to get to and helps break that down into achievable goals.
Conversations are led by the client, with the therapist offering reflections and practical ideas. Sessions are offered in English and are delivered online. Cost varies with location and therapist availability, and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

Approaches Colette lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Solution-Focused Therapy is more goal-oriented and practical. It looks for small, realistic changes that build momentum and improve daily life. This approach suits people who want short-term strategies for stress, relationship problems or coping with life transitions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Colette will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and will help identify whether a listening-led approach, practical steps, or a mix of both fits best. This is a collaborative decision and can change as you progress.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let you talk face to face, phone sessions fit into a short break, live chat suits quick check-ins and text messaging can be useful for ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work and family life and to choose the format that feels most comfortable.
