Colette Mattos, BACP

Colette Mattos works with individuals and couples who are navigating difficulties in their relationships or struggling with how they relate to themselves. She focuses on helping people who feel stuck when intimacy, communication, or emotional closeness are hard to achieve, and she also supports singles who want to understand patterns that may be getting in the way of forming satisfying partnerships.

Her practice is informed by an attachment-focused perspective, which means she helps clients identify the emotional patterns and past experiences that influence how they connect with others today. By exploring those underlying responses together, she guides clients toward developing healthier ways of relating and greater emotional security.

Many of the people she sees also experience anxiety, depression or low self-esteem, especially when those feelings are linked to relationship difficulties. Colette offers a warm, collaborative and non-judgmental space where people can explore their concerns, gain clarity, and work toward more fulfilling relationships and improved self-understanding. She holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which indicates membership of the professional body for counselling in the United Kingdom.

Colette communicates in English and draws on evidence-informed approaches to help clients address issues such as attachment, intimacy, family and parenting challenges, mood concerns, and relationship conflict.
