Colette Butler-Hartley

 I am offering  In person , telephone/video counselling . I am flexible and also offer evenings.

Welcome. You are here because you want to feel better. Are you feeling out of step with yourself? Are you struggling with depression or another problem that is difficult to name? Are you struggling to handle things on your own? Are you struggling with loss or trauma? Or maybe struggling in a relationship?

I can offer you a therapeutic space in which you can feel space to explore your thoughts. 

I believe that you are the expert on you. I aim to sit beside you while you find a way to make changes. I am a warm and compassionate therapist. We can work together to make sense of what is troubling you.

I support women through the complex emotional, physical and psychological changes of menopause with a compassionate, trauma-informed approach. My work combines psychotherapy, nervous system regulation, and empowerment coaching to help women understand their symptoms, navigate identity shifts, and rebuild trust in their bodies. I help women manage anxiety, sleep disruption, mood changes and overwhelm, while guiding them toward clarity, confidence and self-compassion. Through education, emotional support and personalised strategies, I reframe menopause as a powerful transition rather than a decline. My aim is to give women the tools, knowledge and inner strength they need to feel grounded, understood and empowered throughout this transformative stage of life.

I have 25 years experience of working with various groups of people of all ages within various settings such as schools, colleges, hospitals and Women's refuges. 

I work with in an Integrative Model which means I can tailor your therapy to suit your needs. I am able to move at a pace with which you feel comfortable allowing you the time and space you may need to give you a better understanding of what is happening for you.

I initially offer a free 15 min phone call in order for you to ask any questions about the type of therapy I offer.  This will ensure that we can work together.
