About Colette

Colette Langridge is a counselling professional registered with NCPS and has been practising since 2012. She works with adults who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, intimacy issues, parenting pressures, anger, self esteem and career concerns. Colette also supports people facing compassion fatigue, ADHD, and life transitions.

Her style is straightforward and grounded. Sessions focus on talking through current problems and building practical ways to cope. She draws on different approaches to match what a person needs, rather than using a single method for everyone.

Colette has over six years of focused work with people affected by sexualised trauma and abuse. In that role she provided one-to-one support for survivors of relational trauma, sexual violence and childhood abuse, alongside common mental health problems such as anxiety, depression, PTSD and Complex PTSD.

In practice she blends ideas from attachment-based and psychodynamic work to look at how earlier relationships affect present feelings. She also uses elements of cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness to help with thinking patterns and managing stress in daily life.

Sessions may include attention to the body where movement or sensation links to past memories, using sensorimotor techniques and grounding skills alongside talking. Colette aims to help people reflect on difficult experiences, build confidence, and find clearer ways of managing anger and other strong emotions.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Colette uses attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioural tools in her clinical practice. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people understand why they react emotionally in certain situations. Cognitive behavioural therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing practical changes to reduce reactivity and low mood.

Finding the right way of working is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels useful, and then together test different techniques to see what helps most for anger, anxiety or trauma-related stress.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online work can help fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it easier to use mindfulness exercises or breathing practices between meetings. Registered or accredited professionals typically adapt the same core methods used face to face so clients can practise new skills in everyday settings.
